Maria Bachyn’ska * Kids

As for me, I think all people are kids but we are kids in an indefinite period of time. Now we are graduating from school and want to be little children very much. We want to run, jump, and dream. I know some of my classmates like watching cartoons and me too. But at this time, our lives don’t allow us to be children because we must work towards our dreams. We are not adults yet, but nevertheless we must think about our future. I will always remember our club meetings that were a part of our childhood. There we told each other funny stories about our childhood, showed pictures, and chatted. We appreciated the meetings during which we traveled back in time to the land of our childhood. For our teachers and parents we’ll always be children.

Katia Ivanets’* Losers

After the time we became one grade our reputation in school was not good. All the teachers say that we stopped studying and don’t want to do anything. Eleventh grade was very interesting; some teachers started to call us bad names. L.A. Kravchuk said that we are nerds. The best one is M.A. Repetska she called us fucking Americans. Somebody says that the former grade A was perfect but when the gray masses of former grade B came to us we became gray too. Nobody can solve this problem. Of course I can’t say that our class is brilliant but we have some people who create an awful atmosphere and we can’t work well. I can’t agree that we are losers, in our grade there are students who had won first places in the town and regional Olympiads.

Katia Ivanets’* Newspapers

This school year was full of different projects. One of them was “Our Group Newspaper”. We had four groups to make a newspaper one by one. The main events of our group life were included into it. All the newspapers had different titles because of different people doing them. We also published some articles from Artem. There were problems while making newspapers. Some of the groups didn’t do their work in time. We published nine issues only instead of twelve. Despite of that, we liked this work and think it is a good kind of practice that helps us in the future.

Ira Lukianets’* Olympus

Olympus is the place for people who are higher than others and have more rights. The same I can say about our school because it is known as one of the best schools in Ukraine. Every year we accept a lot of guests and they’re surprised with the order and neatness. Our school has a brilliant staff of teachers. There were a lot of excellent pupils in its nine years of history. Many pupils are the winners in town, regions, and all Ukrainian Olympiads. Some students wrote research works, there were special conferences where they presented these works. As to our group we also have the Olympus. Every month the ten most active and successful students are chosen to be the best according to some aspects. It is called Top Ten. More often Artem, Ina, Ira, and Katya occupied the first positions. As to research works my group mates wrote them as well. Taras even participated in MAN’s regional finals. Some students from our group write and translate poems. Our teacher made a booklet where all the poems were published. They are beautiful.
