The beginning of 2009 was the worst. I was going to a very hard math-physics-oriented school where I was bullied for being gay. Keep in mind that that was in Russia... Every day I would return home almost crying and unhappy. In February I had to have an ankle surgery and spent a month out of school, so I was very late with my classmates. I struggled to come back and was on a nervous breakdown. So I decided to get done with this school and go to another one. That summer I got some exciting news that we would move to America

I spent one more year in Russia in a new school. I'm so glad I changed schools. The new school was so welcoming and nice!
Then in 2010 we moved to the US. It was a huge mental struggle. It is very hard to change the environment, culture, and especially language. Slowly and slowly I grew up as a person. Now I go to a pretty prestigious university, have my own car, apartment, have a great job, and the things are looking great

I came out to my best friend, but not my family yet. I'm scared to ruin our perfect relationship... It is not time yet..maybe after I graduate in 2 years
I would be hella proud of myself. I've overcome so much over the past 6(almost) years.
