Bachelor, 2019

For me Ukrainian-American Concordia University is like home, where I have a lot of people whom I love and respect. Moving to Kiev and studying here helped me understand what its like to be on your own and having to make decisions by yourself. I’m thankful for all the thinks this university thought me and made me a better person. I use my knowledge everyday at my work, for example finance, strategic management and etc. For me Concordia University is place where I found real friends and where I realized that I’m a grown up and my life choices make huge difference. I learned how to become successful in what I do. I started working in Kiev while I was studying and made sure to do my best, put effort in everything I did. I’m thankful for some hard days, because this is when I grew as a person and where I realized who my true friends were. I’m thankful for all the support and all the great advices you gave me and made sure that I felt like home in Kiev. 

I know that this place is my second home and one day I’ll be back for sure. This is where I belong and where I found what I wanted to do in my life. 

Do what makes you happy and be happy with what you do! You need to fail at some point to achieve success and become stronger day by day.
