I was born in Russia, Ukraine. About seven years ago my parents and I moved to America. I went to Scranton Hebrew Day School after two months. I didn't know any English and had no background on my religion. I started at first grade and went on higher and higher in learning. I learned the Hebrew alphabet, Chumish and Novi. In the middle of my fourth grade year I was skipped to fifth. That is when I started to learn Gemorah and Mishnayos. But to actually excel in Torah it took two years when I was in 8th grade. In the middle of that year I realized something that I never knew. Judaism was and is the true religion. That is when I became Orthodox. I had my difficulties with my parents accepting it but in the end was victorious. Even though I didn't go to Yeshivah after 8th grade I still kept up with my learning. It was hard but I had enough resources. Finally I got the internet and I found out how much Judaism stuff their is. It almost shocked me (in a good way) since now I had more than enough of resources of learning Torah. I hope you enjoy this site and learn much from it.
