A Few Words About Me

Greetings to everyone! My name is Irina. I was born in Baku. During the first six years of my life I happened to live in Severomorsk, Moscow, and Crimea, changing the kindergartens quite often. Only in 1994 we settled ourselves in Ukraine.

I think that I have been a creative person since the day of my birth. For this reason my mother did not hesitate to get me to study in Academy of Arts at the theatre faculty. I still study here, though now I am at the Bachelor’s level. And here it all started …

My week day began at 8:30 and finished at 17:40, and during that time we were studying both general subjects (Ukrainian, Math, History, Drawing, etc.) and specialized subjects (Theatrical Acting, Vocal, Plastics, Acrobatics, Dancing, History of Arts, etc.) Due to the studying at the Academy of Arts many students take part in shooting of musical and advertising video, movies, and TV programs. I took part in the shooting of a TV program about Munchausen, episode of the series “Mahno”, and got a main part in Muratov’s movie “Tatar Triptych”.

Next year together with my fellow mates we are going to attend theatrical festivals in different cities of Ukraine. And if everything is successful, we will also visit Russia.

As a creative person I try to manage doing everything. For already 2 years I have been playing and singing in a rock band “Silent Scream”. Ozzy Osbourne is leading in our repertoire, though we also play the songs of other performers, and of course, our own songs. I am really fond of writing lyrics to the songs, particularly in English. At home I have a paper-case with lyrics to 150 songs that are waiting for their turn. I would really like once to have full stadiums of fans at our concerts.

The most important thing in life for me is always having people next to me who love me and would never leave me alone during the hard time. Also it is vital for me to have a goal in life, as I believe that one should always aim at something.

About Myself in Brief

Let me introduce myself. My name is Kristina. I was born in Ukraine. I think that while telling something about myself it is worth to mention about my accomplishments. After graduating from school I entered College and completed my studies there with perfect results. After graduation my profession was the stewardess of water transport. After that I entered Academy. For some time I was working as a waitress for the president of Ukrrechflot company, but now I work for joint-stock ship company as a secretary of commercial director and director of commercial exploitation of cargo fleet. This year I have got a Bachelor’s degree in Ship Steering.

Concerning my character, I am a choleric. All my leisure time I spend differently – sometimes I go on hikes with my friends and enjoy beautiful nature, but we also attend noisy discos, cinemas, concerts and simply spend time indoors together with the favorite pets. As my zodiac sign is Gemini, I can be quite different. Sometimes I am hot-tempered, lively, and active, but I can also be quiet and romantic. However, regardless of the opposition of these two sides of my character, I am never prevented from realizing my plans. I am fond of bright and rich colors in clothing. I love music, my favorite band is Scorpions. I don’t follow any particular style or image and have an opinion that those things are stylish that are beautiful. My favorite expression is “life is motion”.

Of course, as each young lady I love flowers and presents. However, I have a small weakness – I can never refuse dark chocolate and marmalade. I have a lot of plans that I’m trying to realize. Also, I have a dream and have made the first steps towards its realization. In the whole I must say that I love colorful and varied life, when each day is not like the previous one.

A Story about Myself

Let me tell you a short story about myself. My name is Natalia, I was born in an urban village. I was brought up by my beloved parents, but of course, my grandparents had their turn in bringing me up as well.

My life at my native place was quite comfortable, but eventually we moved to Kiev. Our home was always ruled by a friendly atmosphere that was full of love, warmness, and coziness.

A big change in my life happened not too long after my birth – I started going to the kindergarten. This was the beginning of my active life. I never ignored different kinds of contests, quizzes, competitions, and New Year performances. At my leisure time I was singing in a choir, going in for sports, and attending the Latin America dancing group. In the whole I must say that I have been following a healthy and active way of life. After kindergarten I started going to school. That was a challenging and interesting part of my life, but unfortunately, I need too much space to fill with the story about my school life, and I do not want to take much of your time. For this reason I would only like to tell that school years had taught me a lot of useful things. After graduating from school I entered Kiev State Pedagogical University. The major I had chosen there was Psychology and Social Studies. That was exactly what I was dreaming of at school. I think the reason for that is that by character I’m very kind and sympathetic person, and I really love to help people. And I was very lucky – I made my dream come true. Now I have set new goals and objectives for myself.

I like to have a good time, attend different resorts, and learn something new. I dream of making a world-round journey. That would let me to see the world and show up myself. I am very fond of signing and dancing; however, at the same time I might be very calm and spend some time alone thinking over something, dreaming, reading a booking, looking though the magazine, or maybe discovering something new. I think that one should never stop and give up, and then the life will be more cheerful and colorful.
