If I have the choice of traveling to Russia, India or New Zealand alone for a week for preliminary discussions or to spend that week with my family, I routinely choose my family.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't choose Russia but Russia chose me. I had been fascinated from an early age by the culture, the language, the literature and the history to the place.
My family life is incredibly important to me. I want to be with them as much as I can. I try to work in New York, or I work in the summer time when my family can come with me.
I want my wife and children to travel always with me and share good things and bad things. That's what the family is for.
No matter where I go, I want to carry my family.
You can choose your family sometimes. You can choose people, it could be a teacher, it could be a professor, it could be someone you work with that actually genuinely cares about you and wants you to succeed.
I never chose to be in Russia, and I would prefer to be in my own country, but if I can't make it home, I will continue to work very much in the same way that I have... What happens to me is not as important; I simply serve as the mechanism of disclosure.
My ideal travel companions are my family.
I don't come from money or an educated family background or any sort of supportive family life, so all of my choices are made on my own.
My family is my priority.
You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.
