Biography
Hello, my name is Katja Bergman. I was born on the 29th of February, 1988, a leap year, which makes my birthdays quite special. I was born on a Monday, at exactly four in the afternoon, in the beautiful city of Abcoude, located in the heart of the Netherlands. The Netherlands is my home, my birthplace, and the country I proudly represent, making me a Dutch national.
I am a female, and I use the pronouns "she" and "her". My identity is deeply rooted in my Dutch heritage, and I am proud to be part of a country known for its rich history, stunning landscapes, and progressive societal values.
I am the beloved child of my proud parents, Genevieve and Frederick Bergman. My mother, Genevieve, was a Richmond before she got married, hailing from a family known for its strong and independent women. She passed down these traits to me, along with the importance of kindness, compassion, and perseverance. My father, Frederick, is a Bergman through and through. He instilled in me a love for our Dutch roots, teaching me about our culture, traditions, and the value of community.
Growing up in Abcoude, a small city that's a hidden gem in the Netherlands, was a unique experience. The city, with its narrow streets, quaint houses, and picturesque canals, provided an idyllic backdrop to my childhood. It's a city that has managed to preserve its charm and history while also embracing the modern world, much like myself. I carry the traditions and values passed down to me by my parents and my city, but I also embrace change and progress, always striving to learn and grow.
Being born in the Netherlands, a country known for its open-mindedness and liberal values, has greatly influenced my worldview. I grew up in a society that values equality, freedom, and respect for all, principles that I hold dear and strive to uphold in my daily life.
My Dutch nationality is not just a part of my identity, it’s a badge of honor that I wear with pride. It represents a culture that values art, history, and innovation. It represents a people known for their resilience, their openness, and their unique outlook on life. It represents a country that, despite its small size, has left a significant mark on the world.
As a leap year baby, I've always felt a little unique. I like to think that being born on a day that only comes around every four years has given me a unique perspective on life. It's taught me to make the most of every opportunity, to never take anything for granted, and to always strive to make every day count.
