I’m a student of the Saint-Petersburg State Medical Academy

This year I finished secondary school. It was a medical lyceum. My favorite subjects were chemistry and biology. I passed successfully the Uniform State Examinations in chemistry, biology, mathematics and the Russian language.

According to the results of the Uniform State Examinations, I was admitted to the St.Petersburg State Medical Academy (SPSMA). This Academy is a higher medical school that trains specialists for preventive and curative medicine. Now I am a first year student. I study at the General Medical faculty. There are two other faculties in the Academy; they are the Preventive Medical faculty and the faculty of Higher Nursing Education. There are day (full-time), evening (part-time) and correspondence departments in the Academy. I entered the Medical Academy because my dream is to become a doctor and help people suffering from different diseases.

I am not from St.Petersburg. I am from …. There is no higher medical school in my town and I came to St.Petersburg to enter higher medical school. I decided to enter the SPSMA because it is one of the best higher medical schools not only in Saint-Petersburg but also in Russia. I have no relatives in the city and now I live in the hostel. My hostel is in Svetlanovsky-prospect. There are two other students in my room. They are from different towns of Russia and also came to St.-Petersburg to study at higher medical school. We are rather friendly and always do our homework together. And when we have free time we often go to the cinema or theatre, visit exhibitions or museums or walk along the streets of the city admiring its beauty. I also go in for sports. I play basketball.

I am very happy that I have entered the Academy. It is very interesting to study here, though not easy.
