Read previewI grew up as an only child in 1980s Manhattan with a single mother. I was afforded opportunities as an only child that I never would have gotten if I had siblings. AdvertisementAs an only child, my mother tried to give me everythingMy mother lavished me with attention, affection, and opportunities. I can't remember a time when my mother wasn't there for me. With no other family members to help, my mother came to live with me in my studio apartment in Paris.

☆ I went to college in the US and then enrolled at Oxford. I preferred college life in England with black-tie balls and no testing.

Since my Ukrainian-born mother dreamed of returning to Europe, she begged me to consider transferring to a university in England or France. So I reapplied for the degree I hoped to study and headed off to Somerville College, Oxford, where I would "read" — major in — Modern Languages, French, and Russian. Most of all, it opened my eyes to many differences between US and UK college life. AdvertisementMy college years in England involved a lot of dressing up for fancy-dress-themed "bops," or dances with cheesy music, and black-tie balls. I also learned that my college life in the UK was all-around better than the one I experienced in Vermont.
