A life

My friend Alexander was born in Moscow 28th February 1987. He never knew his father and he is an only child in his family. His mother and grandmother raised him. During his childhood he was sick a lot and often missed school. I met him in primary school and he is only one person with whom I was studying from the first to the last year in school.

Alexander has been always a very talanted person. He started to write in his adolescence. Our russian teacher always said that grammatical correctness comes naturally to him. He wrote a few novels which I still keep. And he is still writing, not only prose, but also poetry. Another of his interest was computers. He got his first computer when he was 13. But this computer wasn't powerful enough. Then his mother said him: "I'll buy you a new one if you enter into university or earn money, using the old computer. He sent an article into the popular (for this time) magazine "Hacker". The editors liked this article and he was writing regular column earning about $75 for each article, so he got the new computer .

After school he went into university like most teenagers, but he was a very ambitious and independent young man. He started to work and soon left the university. It's very unusual for modern young people, but Alexandr found his own way. Now he is working as IT specialist in hospitality. He travels a lot and has a good health .

As I mentioned before I have known Alexander since school, since we were 7. We didn't just become friends and even fought at first. Any way we have been close for more than 15 years, not surprisingly he is one of the most influential people in my life.
