My education

       We know such a phrase like “We study during all the life”. It’s true about my life, because I have been studying during approximately seventeen years :) and I hope, that I will continue my studying. Can I tell, that I like to study very much? No, I can’t tell this. 

Now I’m a fourth year student of university, which is called Petro Mohyla Black Sea State University. I’m twenty years old and I can tell, that now I have a little recollection of my memories concerning nursery school. The only thing I remember is that I wanted to go to the primary school so much, that I stayed near the fence of my nursery school and looked with admiration at the children, who played volleyball at the playground of primary school. I have never fight with the boys and girls. I was a very peaceful child and I tried to reconcile all the children.

At six I finally began to study at the primary school. I was very happy. I didn’t excelled academically. I don’t know what had happened with me, but I began to blossom intellectually at the age of eight and I was at the top of my form for most subjects, but I didn’t show off.

   I studied at one and the same school all the time. I can’t say, that I didn’t excel at sport. I went for different kinds of sport. For example, when I studied at the primary school, I went to the dance classes. After that I played basketball and tennis. I liked that. Unfortunately, now I don’t go for sports, because most of the time I spend with the books. At school I was very calm and reserved person. Most of my classmates don’t know who I am even now.

When I left the school it was very difficult for me to understand, what I like more: Economics or English. On the one hand, I learned Economics during two last years of my studying at school and our teacher was a lecturer from the university, in which I study now. On the other hand, I liked English and I knew, that it’s very important to know this language. But I wouldn’t think about that and I didn’t agonise over a long time, because I entered the Ukrainian philology faculty…

At school I didn’t like Ukrainian language and I couldn’t even imagine, that I should study this language for six “never-ending” years. It was a big surprise for me: neither Economics nor English. At the beginning I couldn’t speak Ukrainian, because I studied at Russian school. It was terrible! But now I tried to persuade myself, that studying Ukarainian language is my job, even if this job isn’t so pleasant. The most important thing, that have happened in my life with entering this university is the meeting with Nastya, my best friend. It’s easier for us to study and to live, when we are together.

If I could do it all again, would I do anything differently? Yes, of course. Some things I would change. If I were back at comprehensive school, I’d spend more time with friends and taking part in different extra-curricular activities. Maybe I’d enter the another faculty. Who knows? Maybe this real life is even better than my desirable one :)
