Christina grew up & went to school in the small town of Chardon, Ohio. She was originally born in Astrakhan, Russia but was put up for adoption for reasons that were protected. She spent her very first few years of life in a small overcrowded orphanage with a lot of other Russian children. At the age of 3 however she was blessed with a new life & a new beginning when she was adopted by her Amer. family along with her adopted Russ. brother Steve. Growing up school & academics were always a struggle. Learning & trying to understand English was by far the most difficult. Making & keeping friends was also a hurdle that was hard to jump too. She had a couple close friends but she quickly found that daydreaming & doodling was a great way to escape from everything like nothing else. Although she became very discouraged at times in her socio-academic life, she eventually found her inner strength to never give up on her dreams & her imagination. W/her determination & free spirit her academics & social life eventually began to soar. This all began when she entered high school. Report cards never looked so good & gold medals from academic challenges & comp's became a thing. She even began writing as a hobby & after she graduated high school she began to enjoy it more & more. After years & years of reading writing & listening to a lot of music- writing became that great escape akin to her younger days of never ending day dreams. It works for her as a diff. kind of escape from everybody & everything- a special kind of escape that has forever changed her into something magnificent that could just never allow her to go back to who she used to be. Through the eyes of her life and the motion of her pen you can discover that Christina's writings incorporate passion pain & pleasure in every verse & line. Her life in a notebook, organic and raw. She is a devoted intellect & romantic who seeks nothing else in this world other than to teach & inspire herself & all of those around her.
