All about Mila 911
Hello, my name is Mila and I'm Igor's favorite wife. You asking why he's "favorite", just because we are married almost 45 years and all those years Igor brings me monthly, on our wedding anniversary day, bouquet of flowers.
I was born in small village in Belorussia, 15,000 residents at the time were leaving in that city, graduated from the school with a gold medal, got my engineering MS from University of Technology located in Kaunas, Lithuania.
I think it was related too stress after Chernobyl explosion. I was diagnosed with the heart condition and my doctor told me that I can die any time.
I had problem to breathe, walk or sleep. When my doctor said that I could die any time on the street, I was shocked. I was only 26 years old. I didn't want to die and went to study Holistic Medicine. Completed nursing program through Red Cross program (got international diploma as a visiting nurse), went to "Continue education for Doctors" I was able to study different modalities: acupressure, massage, energy work, crystal-, music-, color-, water-, therapy and later on I forgot about my problem. I become a practitioner at the Hospital in Kiev, capital of Ukraine and one day my doctor became my patient.
As I mention above, after Chernobyl, we're worry about our children and decided to immigrate to USA.
We borrow some money, purchased the tickets and with luggage in our hand, mainly it were books and Indian movies arrived to state Maryland, near Washington DC.
It wasn't easy. Nobody in our family (my husband Igor, mother-in-law, two little girls, my parents and myself) spoke English at the time.
In a month Igor got the job in a small company making road sign's. I went to school for medical assistance. During an interview the school principal was confused, after he saw all my diplomas. He ask, why I came to study in his school, because I had more educations then his teachers. The respond was "I haven't came to study medicine, I came to study English". After 9 month full time training I became a certified medical assistant.
I worked in a medical field for about 6 yrs as a doctors assistant, got certified in physical therapy and work another few years, till my kids, year a part went to collage. I decided to move to the computers field, to be able to help to my girl with helping to pay for there education. Went to collage to Computer science program and got the "Certified Web Specialist" certificate and work as the contractor for many Federal agency's over 20 years.
Now you probably will ask me why I want to share the information with you. It's a simple answer. My husband and I were members of "Charity and Kindness" club. That club was belong to Red Cross Association and we were helping to people from around the country without any charge. And I really miss this club. A lot of people going through very hard time right know and I think this is the time to use my background and knowledge to share with other people.I am an International Reiki Master, but those days, on my free time, I do crafts, painting, cooking...
