My Life Story

Page 4: My Life Story

When I was living in the Ukraine, the people were poor. Sometimes there was not a lot of food. Most people who were wealthy used to taunt the poor. Sometimes, Christmas was one of the most horrible days for the children.

Page 6: My Life Story

My experience as a child was somewhat sad, but not all was a loss either. When I was born, my mom had thyroid cancer. She was happy, but something happened to me at birth. I had a stroke, and I was as white as a ghost.

Page 8: My Life Story

A couple of months passed, and at the age

of twenty two, mom passed away. My dad’s heart was shattered.

So at the age of twenty-eight, dad

disappeared. I went to an orphanage because

all of my family members disappeared

too.

Page 10: My Life Story

The orphanage was small and very poor. Boys got

treated like kings, while the girls were punished. The

boys slept upstairs. We all had hand-me-down clothing.

We had to sleep on a cot, and the ladies were so mean.

They made us do work. We were only children.

Page 12: My Life Story

We ate nothing but soup and other small

items. We were treated like animals. That was

only the first part of my early life.

When I was in the orphanage, I didn’t know

my mom had another child. I was so happy to

find out that I had a brother. My brother’s

name is Audrauios, but now his name is Tyler. My

name was Iryaina and now my name is Cassie.

In 2002, when I was five years old,

something was going to

completely change my life. The mean ladies told us to line up into four groups. WE were scared.

Page 18: My Life Story

That’s when I met some new people.

The first family said, “Ewe! That girl doesn’t have any

hair.” My brother looked like a polar

bear, because he was a chubby child.

Luckily, the second family loved us and took us home to

America.

Page 19: My Life Story
Page 20: My Life Story

So we traveled by plane and flew to America. At first, I

thought Americans were going to be like the Ukrainians “Mean” and

Rude.”

Page 22: My Life Story

Luckily I was mistaken.

Some of the Americans were not mean. I found the

perfect family, and I have some great

friends now.
