Thank you, nanny! You are NOT gone with the wind, and I remember you as one of my Guardian Angels! I learned so much from you: true love, loyalty, commitment – I have kept these values in part because of you! They are forever; they make me what I am today.

My First Nanny: Gone with the Wind? https://t.co/dVIxZOKYwy via @YouTube Remembering my first nanny Pani Penyongichka, from Stanislav, Western Ukraine, I feel amazed at the depth of love and motherlike action she took against her personal interest, caring for the bigger good.

Many things happened against all odds, starting with my near-miracle birth, to my good luck in love, to my PhDs, to my career, to emigration to America. I worked hard to move up in life, nonetheless I feel very grateful; Now out of Ukraine, I do my best to fulfil my mission.

Uncle Michael’s Cabin and Strange Cousin’s❤️Love https://t.co/TQWFupbmjV via @YouTube In 2025, I'm writing about a journey in #Ukraine, with bittersweet memories. The dreams were slowly #leading to #emotional maturity.

[Fiona Citkin @FionaCitkin]

How we remember our #teenage years matters for later. #Ukraine and #Kherson are now distant, #UkraineRussiaWar is horrible - and my #cousinlove disappeared into the blue.

Uncle Michael’s Cabin and Strange Cousin’s❤️Love https://t.co/81YtjVLfgw via @YouTube The #teenage infatuation and big dreams of a girl in #Ukraine echo in later life. Uncle Michael's house in Kherson, Ukraine, was a place to be. Now it's all ruined by the war.

A famous quote from #FrankSinatra about #NewYork is appropriate at #Thanksgiving2024 - we have a lot to be grateful for in this #city .

[Fiona Citkin @FionaCitkin]

https://t.co/rEOCnGPkfB via @YouTube - We worship #NewYork on #Thanksgiving because as #FrankSinatra sang, “If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere.” #NewYorkChallenges and #opportunities are unique, especially if you want to find a #newjob and enjoy your life. Watch why.

I believe some people can learn from these experiences.

Of College and Career https://t.co/ffV9hqJXyd via @YouTube I share stories where my engagement in university theater, young teacher’s work, and seeing hidden love overlap. We don’t know what we CAN DO until we challenge ourselves doing difficult duties. I was learning by doing.

A Fulbright scholar from Ukraine to the US—and now a Board member of Fulbright-NJ, I consider myself a self-made woman. I could only use what I inherited: good genes, and the role models. Watch: https://t.co/147ivGGFyr
