INTRODUCING PEOPLE

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Let me tell you a few words about myself. My first name is Serhiy and my second name is Petrenko. I was born in an old Ukrainian city of Chernihiv in 1985 in the family of lawyers. My father used to work* as a prosecutor, and now he is a judge in the Appellate Court. My mother is a private notary.

My family is not very large; it consists of seven people. I have a father, a mother, an elder brother, a grandmother and a grandfather. My brother works as a Security Service of Ukraine investigator in Kyiv, and my grandma and granddad are retired. They were not in legal pro5 fession; they worked as teachers at Chernihiv schools.

At school I enjoyed nearly all my subjects, but I liked the Huma5 nities best of all.

So, you can see that after finishing school my choice was obvious — I decided to become a lawyer, too. I applied to Yaroslav the Wise National Law Academy of Ukraine in Kharkiv. My parents and my brother graduated from this higher education institution, and I have always dreamed to become a student there, too. Unfortunately, I failed during my first attempt, but decided to try my luck again in a year.

Meanwhile, I started my legal career and began working at Pro5 secutor’s Office in my native city. The year that I spent there helped me to understand the essence of the legal profession, and I enjoyed people who were in it more and more. I understood that a law5governed state needs highly qualified lawyers to put the legal reforms into effect, and I thought I would be able to contribute to it.

In a year I tried to enter the Academy again, and passed all my exams successfully. So, now I am a student at the Prosecutors’ Training Institute of Yaroslav the Wise National Law Academy of Ukraine.

* Gr. note: used to+verb позначає повторювану дію в минулому і пере5 кладається як «колись», «бувало».
