I interviewed our principal Margarita
Bezlepkina.
I: Do you remember the brightest event of your childhood?
M. B: I remember the day when I first went to school. I had
such a beautiful snow white apron and the first blue bag. It seemed
to me I was so beautiful! It was very important for me that I started
being busy. Now every morning I had to get up early and go somewhere
and do some work. I do not know why but even in such small age I wanted
to be with people. I clearly remember my first teacher. Her name was
Valentina Alekseevna and from my today’s experience I can say that
she was the ideal teacher. She was always interested in things that
were interesting only for children. She had quiet voice and very attentive
glance. She was like a mother for us, was always happy to see each
of us.
In my childhood I used to play more with boys than girls and I remember
my best primary school friends, Kolya and Petya. Playing with them
I defended my ideas.
I: Did you have a favourite toy?
M. B.: I had a doll. It
was my favourite toy because it stayed with me for a long time. It was
red with white face and looked really funny. There were 5 children in
our family, so we did not have many toys.
I: What job did you dream about?
M.B.: I always wanted
to be a doctor. We often played hospital game with my friends and, of
course, I played the doctor. I even made all my small friends wash their
hands, like doctors advice.
I: What was your dream?
M.B.: In my big family there always were a lot of people,
relatives, friends. So, I dreamt about big house where I could have many
friends in the future, it would have many rooms and be very warm and
sunny. My family taught me to always be in a big group of people, in
big and friendly company. And what is more, my family taught me to be
generous and attentive to others. And I dreamt to be like my parents.
Also, when I was very little, I dreamt about beautiful
place to live and prince on white horse to take me there. And I dreamt
of something fantastic, for example, to be a magician and make my close
people live forever.
I: Did you have any favourite book or cartoon?
M.B.: My
favourite books were Count Monte Kristo and Peter I. And I liked the
cartoon about two teams of boys. One always had success and one was not
so lucky. I like another team because boys from this team wanted to be
useful. This cartoon shows us bright process of forming the character.
The main idea is that everyone builds his life himself and if he does
not want to do something, nothing can help him.
