Oleksandr Yakovchuk * Teachers

We have 14 subjects in school and 11 teachers work with us. Their lessons are very interesting, but not all of them. For example, the lessons of Ukrainian are very boring, the lessons of History are interesting but the teacher doesn’t like the pupils and doesn’t respect them. The teacher of Math, to my mind, thinks that she is the queen of the planet and knows all the things in the world. The rest of the teachers in our school are more or less ok, but I know they all hate me, I feel it. That is why I hate them too.

Oleksandr Ishchuk * Uniform

Two years ago we started wearing uniforms. Of course it was our school principle, Kamila Dominikivna’s idea. For a long time it was the main topic to talk about. Almost all the students of our school discussed the new law for about two or three weeks. I know exactly almost all the students didn’t like it. Uniform is a very nice thing but on the other hand not all the students could afford to buy a nice jacket and trousers. But the time passed and almost all of us got used to wearing uniforms. Nobody makes a problem of it now, it’s just the usual thing.

Yulia Kozak * Veto

In our school we have a lot of rules and sometimes they’re very dreadful and our often comparable to vetoes. We often hear from other students that our school is a place of prohibition. Really we have a lot of strict rules that sometimes make us mad. Aren’t you furious each time when you are told to change your shoes. It is forbidden to tough the walls, run and scream during the breaks. Sometimes you have the great desire to scratch something, but you know that for sure you’ll be punished for that. All those things irritate you because you feel like a child and it is unfair to have such a big number of prohibitions at school. I have to say that sometimes I thought so too. But now I understand that prohibitions in our school didn’t influence our independence. They were made by people who didn’t understand our inner world and our behavior. After reading my article, even if you don’t agree with me, I’m quite sure you’ll do so later.

Nadia Zatsepina * X-students

Since our seventh grade we are advanced with studying English. There were 35 of us but in the eighth grade some students left us. The reason was the problem in the restroom as a result six students left. After the ninth grade a lot of students moved to technical schools to study there. They were Natasha Savchuk, Olia Stetsiuk, Liuda Kazakova, Ivan Lavrenchuk and some others.

We miss them all because they were cool guys.

Pavlo Turowski * Youth

It is the best period of life. When we can do some things we can’t do as adults. Most of them are done in school. School years are a rush hour of youth. In school there are a lot of exciting and cool moments. To my mind, it’s the best period of time, when you are young. In school we became elder and understand a lot of important things, which will help us in our future life. Our adult life depends on difficult choices we have to make when we are young. For example, we choose our future profession and start to work hard to make our old age life more careless. This period is the most important in our life.
