i am going to write about myself. my name is nastja. i was born in podolsk on 24 august in 2004. now i am 14 years old. i am a pupil. soon i hope i will be a student of a university. i have not decided yet what university i want to choose. when i was a child, i was playing with animals all the time. may be i will be a vet.   may be exactly at that time at 10 p.m.   in five years i will be doing an operation of a poor animal and i will have saved it by sunset.   when i was ten or eleven, i also liked baking. once i have been baking a cake for my mother since morning. when my brother came home in the evening, he asked me why i was so tired and why i wanted to sleep. of course, he did not want to sleep! he had not been working like a horse all the day. baking is a hard work. that cake was wonderful, fortunately. i have not made a choice yet.   soon i will do it. i know for sure i will do everything to achieve an aim. i will have read all books by the exam time, i will enter the university i want and i will work where i want.
