Vas Blagodarskiy is originally from Moscow, Russia, where he was born and raised.

He moved to Maryland at the age of 9, and attended Mayfield Woods Middle, then Long Reach High Schools.

Because his father has been involved in the field of commerce ever since Vas was a small kid, he's always been interested in ways to make money, followed by an in-depth curiosity about the world of business.

By his graduation date in 2010, he'll complete the Business Management Academy, the Accounting Academy, and the Marketing Academy of HCPSS. Vas wants to major in business at College Park, MD.

He's already got accepted at a few prestigious colleges, but he wants to be closer to home with his family and friends.

UPDATE 2/22/2010: Vas got accepted to the Scholars program for the fall 2010 semester at UMD in College Park!

As you can see, Vas is always hard at work, going at it like no tomorrow. Was it mentioned that he also has a good sense of humor?
