Education
My education was based on History, French, German, and Music
because these were the subjects that were considered proper for
girls of my class.
I am very smart and like reading, especially in French.
I am particularly interested in the writings of the major figures of
the French Enlightenment, but also novels and plays.

Failures
I rule extremely harshly, but this can be a positive thing because
people will not try to overthrow or kill me. They will be afraid
of me.
I continued serfdom which many people do not like, but this
created more workers for my country, Russia.
