My Education

I am a student, who is studying at the most famous university of my city. I could not even imagine that the State Black Sea University can become my “sweet home” for these 4 years… Now I want to look at my life and to see this way of educational rise.

As for my studying at nursery school I have a little recollection. I had not much friends, but all teachers liked me, because I was quiet but sociable. I did not do something special but I liked to take part in poetry class. We played on the playground and during my break time I was with everyone but not with somebody in special relations.

After happy days at nursery school my mother, who wanted I had a good education, decided that I should study at prep school. As for me I do not remember something unusual. We tried to study, to learn to read and to write. We studied English. It was the most interesting. My memories can tell that it was a lot of fun.

At six, a public school had a great influence on my life and my future moral state. An inferiority complex became to develop there. I had an angry teacher, who cried all time. Even now sometimes I see her at my nightmares. My school was co-educational and I much preferred boy environment. I tried to study well and received document about good studying after every class. I think that that school life was not too interesting, because I studied all my break time, read books, wrote compositions etc. But it was only one thing, which I liked. All time at that school I “fought” boys.

When I was ten, my mother had no money to pay for my education at that special school, that’s why I began to study at state school. My life changed greatly when I became a new pupil at our form. Here the atmosphere was more relaxed for me, because the educational system was not too saturated. All teachers were interesting not only in our marks, but also in our own moral upbringing. At that time I became be interested in drawing and dancing. I took part in extra-curricular activities. I preferred to go to dramatic class. I read poetry on different concerts. So I must admit I became another person. I felt comfortable in my form, because I tried to be not only a good pupil, but also a good friend. But school taught me to be out of society. After my studying I knew one rule: “Either ASK or EXPECT anything from anyone and you will never be disillusioned or disappointed”. So at 17 I passed my exams at school, all with good marks.

As the result I was awarded a gold medal. Maybe this fact of my biography took great place. During last year at school I became to decide, where should I study??? I studied at different courses. At school I liked Math, that’s why I wanted to enter to Economics Department. Maybe it was not my destiny. I tried to enter four universities. As a result I began to study at the Faculty of Philology. My first language I study is Ukrainian. It was not my dream, but I had not another choice.  As for now… I do not know what will I do after graduating from university, but I dream about some unexpected changes.

If I could do it all again, would I do anything differently? I do not think so. Everyone has the right to make mistakes, but if we will not try to do something we will never know is it good or bad. So I think that I had good educational system.
