How are you?
I'm glad to receive your answer. Honestly, I don't know where to start
to avoid this awkwardness. For me, internet dating is something new
and unusual. I used to be skeptical about it, probably because of my
upbringing. I grew up in a fairly simple family where it was customary
to meet on the street, at parties, or through friends. But times are
changing, and I realized that you can look for your happiness in
different ways.
My colleague from work, we work together at the kindergarten, told me
that her sister found her husband through the internet. They already
have two children, and looking at them, you understand that happiness
is possible in any form. And in general, the internet is now a part of
life: people find friends with common interests, like-minded people,
and just support. So I decided to try. I found your profile
interesting. I hope you don't mind me writing, and that my photo
resonated with you too.
My name is Mariia. I'm 34 years old. I was born on August 15,
1991, in the city of Pavlodar. It's in the northeast of Kazakhstan, on
the Irtysh River. Our city is large by regional standards, but still
cozy. It used to be an industrial center, there were many factories
here, but now the city is slowly changing, becoming greener and more
modern. We have a beautiful embankment that we are very proud of, and
a unique nature reserve nearby. Have you ever heard of Kazakhstan or
our Pavlodar?
I received a pedagogical education at Pavlodar Pedagogical University.
I graduated when I was 23. After that, I immediately went to work in a
kindergarten. I love children very much, they are so sincere. I've
been working as a teacher for almost 9 years now. When I was at
university, I had different dreams, I thought maybe I'd go to school,
maybe even do a master's degree. But life turned out so that I found
myself in kindergarten. I guess that's how it happens: you dream of
one thing, but find happiness in another, and you will understand me.
I want to tell you right away that I have no bad habits, I lead a
healthy lifestyle, I like simple human relationships without games. My
appearance is what nature gave me, and I don't want to change anything
drastically. I like working with children, seeing them grow and
change. That's probably my calling. Tell me about yourself, please.
What is your full name? Where are you from and where do you live now?
When is your birthday, what's your zodiac sign? Tell me about your
city, your work, what you like. And if it's not too much trouble, send
me your photo. I would be very pleased. Unfortunately, I don't have
parents. They died when I was 14 years old in a car accident. It was a
terrible blow. My sister and I were left alone. We were raised by my
grandmother on my mother's side, God rest her soul, she also passed
away a few years ago. Now I live with my younger sister, her name is
Saule. She's 20, very smart and determined, studying at college to be
a tourism manager. She dreams of working in the hotel business,
traveling. I'm very proud of her. We are very close and try to support
each other in everything. I live in a small but cozy apartment that
our parents left us. It's not far from my kindergarten, I often walk
to work. I have no children, no husband. Sometimes in the evenings I
feel very lonely. I have friends, work, a sister, but still something
is missing. Probably, this feeling is what prompted me to write to
you. Because no matter how good it is with loved ones, nature created
us as pairs. I decided to be open with you, even though we don't know
each other. I hope you will be as interested in communicating with me
as I am with you. Tell me about your life, your family, what makes you
tick. I'm really very interested in all of it. I'm waiting for your
letter. With best wishes, and don't forget the photo. Mariia.
