Teenagers from Paris aren’t too different from students in Moscow, Russia. Grigory Leskov, the new Russian student at Paris Cooperative High School, is just a regular teenager who likes to hang out and have fun. He said, “I like Happy Meals and ice cream.” He also likes to listen to rap music and tiesto, which is a Russian type of music. He likes to Jet Ski and play golf. His school in Russia is a lot bigger than our school. Grigory would like to go to Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and own his own business one day. Grigory has a 3 month old baby sister and he said, “She is very cute” and that he misses her a lot. Grigory expressed that he likes our town and school very much, and he thinks there are very nice people here. He is here for the entire school year and hopes to get to know us a lot better in his time spent here.
