My mother wanted my education to be a priority and saw my potential. After I was turned down by the first university because of my Siberian heritage, she took me to St. Petersburg, where I was enrolled in the Main Pedagogical Institute. This is where my father had gone to school. I was to follow in his footsteps and become a teacher just like him.
