About Me: My name is Allyson Smolyar and I am sixteen years old. I was born on April 29, 1993, which makes me a Taurus. I have blue eyes and dirty blonde hair. I am Russian. My dad is from Odessa, Ukraine, and my mom is from Moscow, the capital of Russia. I am bilingual. My first language was Russian, and I have been studying Spanish in school since seventh grade. I’m a junior in Lawrence High School in Nassau County. I spent my ninth grade year going to school in Lawrence Woodmere Academy, a private school, however I didn’t enjoy it. I’m very social and outgoing, and enjoy meeting new people.
Hobbies: I have been a dancer since I was three. Dancing is my passion. I learn diverse style such as ballet, Pointe, modern, hip-hop, pop and lock, salsa, ballroom, and jazz. At the age of fourteen, I began to teach as well as take classes. I love staying healthy and in shape. I began to run track in tenth grade, and am a captain of the Lawrence track team as of my junior year. I go to the gym an average of five days a week. I love shopping, and going out. I enjoy skiing. Every year I look forward to the summer because I love swimming and being on the beach in the sun. I love listening to music… it gets me through the day.
Travel Experience: My family loves to travel; hence I’ve been to a significant amount of places around the world. Domestically, I have visited Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Vermont, and Illinois. Every year my family, family friends and I go on a vacation over the New Year. This consisted of nine years of vacationing in Dominican Republic, and a few years in other islands such as Aruba or Bahamas. When I turned twelve I took my first trip to Europe, which consisted of a one week stay in a villa in Italy, and a one week cruise around the Mediterranean, stopping in places such as Sicily, Monaco, Northern Africa, Spain, and more. We returned to Europe for summer trips and explored areas in France, such as Paris and Cannes, Barcelona, Spain, and Belgium. I have also been fortunate enough to go on a trip to Moscow, Russia, and Odessa, Ukraine, my parent’s home towns. I visited the beautiful culture of my people, and the experience was priceless.
