When I look at myself in the mirror I see a blond girl with short straight hair, dark eyes and slender figure. As to my appearance I'm rather tall and slim. I have never thought I'm a beauty. I wish I were more beautiful. I think that I'm even tempered, rather reserved, calm and modest. But sometimes I can lose my tempo and become either angry or sad. I like staying alone and sometimes I retire into my shell. But at the same time I like my friends, I like to laugh and joke. I have got a sense of humour. It means I understand humour and appreciate it.<br />There are many things in our life I like and some I dislike. I like when everything is OK. Being happy is one way of being wise. I like to study because knowledge is useful sometimes. I'm fond of reading as it gives not only knowledge, but wonderful moments of joy and pleasure. I am neither short nor tall, so I like to wear high heeled shoes, trousers or jeans.</p><p>I was born on the 25th of April 1992 in the town of Penza where I live now together with my parents, my younger sister and elder brother. My early years which I remember badly, were typical of a child living in a town. I was born in a family of a teacher and a doctor. I was sent to a kindergarten at the age of three as both the parents were working. I went to school at the age of six. Here I should say that it was my lucky chance to study for 11 years at the school of fine arts in the town of Penza. It turned out to be the best school in our town. There I got a proper training in such subjects as English, Russian and world culture. I usually did a lot of home preparation for them and I liked everything I was doing in them. I really tried hard in them. But despite my efforts I was not good at Physics.</p><p>School for me was not only lessons and learning I had a lot of friends there. We organized extra class activities such as parties and other social activities. I actively participated in most of them.</p><p>I am sociable, so I have got a lot of friends among my schoolmates. As for me I appreciate people's honesty, kindness, sense of justice and intelligence. I don't like when people are rude and aggressive.</p><p>I am stubborn at times. But to my mind, being persistent is not always a bad thing. It means my aim; I never leave things half done. At times I feel dissatisfied with myself, especially when I fail to do something or can't do things the way they should be done. At the same time I think I am hard-working and diligent. My greatest problem at school was talking in front of the class. I always blushed and went red.<br />Very soon I'll pass my final exams at school and after a farewell party at the end of the June I'll say good-bye to my teachers who are very well-educated people with broad outlook and deep knowledge of the subjects. They encouraged me in my desire of choosing my future career. School meant a lot to me and it wasn't just learning and studying. I had made good friends there and met many interesting people. I faced a new life without school with a mixed feeling of sadness and joy.</p><p>I had asked myself a lot of times what I wanted to be when I left school. A few years ago it was difficult to give a definite answer. As the years passed I changed my mind several times. But it was only my last year at school that I finally made up my mind what profession I would most like to have in future. I realized that my strongest desire was to continue specializing in humanities and learn foreign languages in particular. I hope my dream will come true. If I fail in my exams I'll try to enter the University again.</p><p>And now a few words about my inclinations. I haven't got any special hobby, like collecting something but I'm fond of reading books. They give me more knowledge of their people's lives and feelings and broaden my outlook. In my opinion, books are a source of emotional inspiration and romantic feeling. Besides, books help me to continue my own education. The time spend on a good book is never wasted. Reading is a rewarding pasting.<br />And of course I like music! I'm fond of music of the 80-s. Besides, I am a great theatre-goer. Whenever I have some time to spare, I go to the theatre. I'm not keen on television.</p><p><a href="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/http/wwwenglishelpru/topicshtml" target="_blank" title="Подпишитесь на ленту новостей Топики на английском"><img src="https://www.englishelp.ru//images/rss.gif" alt="Подпишитесь на ленту новостей" title="Подпишитесь на ленту новостей Топики на английском" align="right" border="0" height="146" hspace="10" width="86" /></a>Sometimes I play different sport games for health and pleasure.
