Bring it to Poland

It feels I am  a one step forward and I am going my destined way.

 Two years ago I contemplated studying in Poland yet I chose a different path.  One week before the deadline I had gathered all the documents required and applied to the American University in Bulgaria(AUBG). Undoubtedly, the AUBG summer camp in 2012 left too many good memories which led me through the next, the hardest one, school year so I was eager to come back and revitalize them. It took me a year of intensive daily courses of the English language in AUBG so to become a fully accepted student. Could I but not believe I would ever be able to pass the SAT successfully. In May 2014 one of my "child" dreams was succeeded,  I was accepted to the American University having been a mediocre pupil in school, who had not got any diploma of excellence. Yet my destiny chose me the another path. Because my family couldn't cover the tuition offered I was ought to change my place of studying.

Considering different conditions and opportunities it is Poland where I decided to study. I was not excited at first to be going to Poland yet the very first day changed everything! I can not describe but be grateful for being able to study here and not anywhere else. To clarify: I will be studying at the university in Kielce, Poland and at the moment I am having a 2 months course of Polish. Right, I will be studying in Polish considering the fact that I am a complete zero at it yet I believe everything will be fine as far as I am ready to study hard.














It feels like home here, I have never experienced the feeling of being satisfied and relaxed in the place where I lived. I do not want to go anywhere at all. I do not want to go home or any other country, I am fine here. The feelings I have are confidence, satisfaction and happiness. Lviv ( Ukraine) and Poland are the places where I am happy to be. Just watching out of a window, glimpsing random pedestrians passing by, I understand that I was meant to come here. What is interesting is that this city in Poland resembles me of Blagoevgrad a little bit!

About Polish people and University:
I am literally LITERALLY  in such a huge over-emotional amazement of hospitality that it is really hard to be described. It was not like this in Bulgaria though we did have an orientation week yet what we have here is wordless. It is not even an orientation week here as we do not have a free day to spend in front of our laptops. Every day we are asked and offered to go somewhere.

Some situations that left me numb:

  • We were on our way to a Centre when we were asked to wait near a supermarket. Could not we but imagine to be treated with ice-cream for no reason just right there and later with juice and cookies in the centre, in which people did not have any affailiations with whom we were. 
  • After telling how we boil rice and sausages in a kettle with the students ( because currently we do not have kitchen) the next day huge! pockets with food were brought to us for no reason just right there. 
  • We went to the grill-party in the local restaurant where we ate fried sausages and meat for free. 
  • On the first day of our lessons we had a very good breakfast and lunch- for free. 
I also should mention that we have lots of fun with Polish people here, jokes and smiles are always on our faces. I am seriously mesmerized and can not describe my emotions. Though I am sure they have lots of fun with our (or my) pity tries to speak Polish. So hard to do Polish when Bulgarian is screaming out loud in your head! Also it is hard to forget when we sang the Polish song about Sokoly and Ukraine at the party.



I love it here, I feel numb but I am happy to be here. I like the architecture, style and buildings in Kielce. Nothing happens for no reason.


I will try to enhance the topic of living and studying  later.

Back in Ukraine. Winter holidays.

Being accustomed to do everything by myself I was astonished being helped by a Ukrainian guy to place my Huge luggage on the customs' machine. There it was, Ukraine. The first thing I needed was ..no, not salo..coffee! Still feeling drowsy after any flight so a cup of good coffee always cheers me up. After my luggage was picked up my family and I destinated to the small cafe which was adviced by our friend. And there my soul felt happy eating only ukrainian stuff: borshch with pampushki, pickles, mini pies with cherry jam, salo with garlic and black bread!

Afterwards, I felt compulsion in going at the main square where Maydan was and there I saw a well organized living system, the Ukrainian language speakers,  performers singing ukrainian songs wearing our national clothing, tents for helping English speakers. After a while I spent the New Year at this square where the crowd welcomed the New Year singing the Ukrainian anthem. It was great being a part of really patriotic activity.  Never forget when a huge crowd went downstairs in the metropolitan and continued singing the anthem. Many people of different backgrounds but were so tied up with the coherent target and mind.

In January, I could not skip a chance to stop by and to see the teachers of  my ex school. The first visit to the school was with my exclassmates and there were talks on where everybody is studying. What I liked was seeing our classteacher and school. A little bit later I lured my friend tostop by a school principal and we definitely didn't regret coming by. The principal was so happy seeing and hearing how we were doing. Definitely, I am lucky with most of my school teachers whom I like visiting and talking to after my graduation. After a while, I stopped by the school again and that time I spent 3-4 hours chatting to my teachers and drinking coffee. Felt so happy seeing some of them but more happy were them seeing me. Totally the best memories left after visiting.

All in all, I had only 2 weeks to spend in Ukraine so the rest of my holidays I was at home eating and accumulating the energy for the hardest  and sleepless course coming soon.

4 months in AUBG\Meeting the Bulgarian President

Despite studying in ELI  many unbelievable things occured during my surviving.

First of all, I was lucky but surprised to meet the actual President of Bulgaria. Accidentally did  I meet him. I was surprised by the fact that no huge-preparations were done. Nobody was obliged to wear uniform or follow only a particular path. The day seemed completely the same as the any other day. I did not even know the President was coming although there were some ads but I didn't pay any attention on them. Rosen Plevneliev gave a speech at the university, which I didn't manage to attend because I was making varenyky. In fact, I  was surprised how the atmosphere was so  relaxed and unpretentious. I faced with the President of Bulgaria on the  first floor of the campus I lived on. Basically, everything happened all of a sudden. I was giving back an iron when the  President came. Unbelievable it may seem. The President shook hand with the students, who were there at that moment. Someone said : "Guys, if you don't speak Bulgarian say "hi" in English". I did not expect to meet the President and I've been in shock for a long time since then. I'm really impressed there were no huge  preparations; nobody stopped the traffic or blocked the road ; in my country when the president even a mediocre politician  comes all roads are closed and the traffic is stopped. Surprise.

Secondly, we had a Christmas Bazzar in AUBG and we raised over 100 euro. The money will be spent on shoes and clothes for the local kids house. I'm happy being involved in charity and  volunteering. I spent the whole day selling food  albeit I had been tired couple days before but I enjoyed selling and serving.



The most interesting part of these 4 months was making  varenyky. To begin with, I had spent 3 hours cooking them and 5 mins cleaning the kitchen from dough-mess because  I was run out of time. Everybody liked varenyky. I was so happy to bring a piece of the ukrainian culture on campus!  Later, I was teaching how to make varenyky to Americans and not only to them. I must say we managed to make a huge number of varenyky for 1.5 h. Amazing! Varenyky a little bit  resemble dumplings but can be made with both sweet and salty inside.

Also, I was taught to do CPR.
These 4 months were significant with Ukrainian meetings. We  cooked  Ukrainian dishes only such as : borshch, mlynzi ( pancakes), salo with bread, crabstick salad and kiev's cotelettes. I'm happy that  Ukrainians are gathering on campus time to time. So  we spent hours  talking in Ukrainian. Also, the day before leaving we gathered again and ate salo. Although we were happy eating salo we also watched movies and on the 3rd movie we dropped off. It was so unusual but sweet to sleep in a coat sharing a bed with 3 other people. It was pointless to leave a room because most of us had to wake up at 7am.

 I passed my finals successfully so Step 3 is waiting for me. These 4 months were full of changes but full of obstacles. Step 3, here I go.

Two weeks, too impressed.

The orientation week  finished with a big cake and  picnic party. I was lucky to talk and to get acquainted with the President of the  University and his Wife, who also gave me a very useful advice. It was so nice of her. Surprisingly, I didn't recognize them at the first glance but i was pleased and surprised, when  discovered I was talking toTHEM! My American scarf attracts people.


The 2nd week was good. I became a coffee-addict...literally. I will drop off if I don't drink a large espresso without sugar. My typical break-snacks are coffee and kit-kat...too American. Thanks to AUBG we have a really good coffee-machine with a nice coffee, which makes coffee not only instant but also natural. As I wrote before, we have really fun lessons, which are just more American.

I went to acquapark, where water was quite cold. I go to the gym almost every day.  Such a pleasure finally to be able to exercise. I've been pretty busy these days, homework, tests, events, food......food....and food.

Here are some specials, events and impressions of mine:

  • Floor party !! Suddenly, we had  ice-cream floor party, where we had looots of ice-cream ( of any kind) cola, juice and cookies. GOSH I was at the gym that day and ice-cream party made it special to me. Furthermore, I met a Ukrainian there.YES.So we spent 3 hours chatting. Finally found a Ukrainian soul out here.
  • A door access broke down! The whole night with the beeeping sounds. This is Skapto life
  • I attended the lecture which was about elitism-populism because I love history. I was curious about the way, the lecture was taught and given. After the lecture finished  a small-food-party occured ...again food but  nice cookies, blue cheese, which I've never tried before) and other appetizers  made it special.  I got acquainted with the Professor of History and we discussed the difference between Slavic languages and their history.  I really like Professors' attitude here because you can easily  come to any of them for an advice, asking a question or presenting an idea. They usually welcome to hear and to talk to students. There is no wall or upNdown feeling.
  • Also, I signed up for a Cooking club. On wednesday we had a meeting  hence we will prepare some food  for its club's birthday.  I couldn't decide which process  I wanted to participate in as far as  there were lots of options but my choice was cooking brownies. What's interesting that I'm in one group with a Professor. Unusual to see your teachers in my case professors being involved in the same projects along with students. Hence on Monday we'll be cooking brownies in the professors' home. The fact we'll be there is very surprising to me as a student studying and living all my life in a different society.  Moreover, as far as I'm fond of GB suddenly I'm hearing a very strong British accent. Exactly, British. Unbelievable but we have a chef from Manchester! Still can't believe it. Where is Blagoevgrad and where is Manchester, where is American University and where is England. I've never thought that  I would ever meet a true british (especially not a student) in this university.
  • We have sushi in the canteen. Isn't bad, huh?
  • We had a Ukrainian Party where we sang Ukrainiansongs finishing with the Ukrainian Anthem. I was wearing the embroidery shirt. Hearing the Ukrainian language was so nice.
  • We had a test which I passed! But I need a higher result so I will work on it.  By the way, tests are evaluated in percents ( the passing score\percent is 64).
  • Today was a nice running across the city because a shop sign stated visa electron cards are accepted there. So I wanted to buy a sim-card and already signed up to get it when it figures out they don't accept paying by cards. It was a Sunday evening banks were closed (to exchange the currency) the sale assistant spoke neither English nor Russian  so he stared  at me without a piece of understanding what I was saying. So I was trying to explain everything in BulgarianoRussian.
  • I took part in the community service because I've always dreamed about being a volunteer and helping others. Actually the territory was clean enough so in vain did we volunteer.
Also, I love doing my homework sitting on grass which doesn't appear here as smth. bad or awkward. The last time I was sitting on grass was in my hometown when suddenly someone started taking photos of my friend and me, while we were eating  ice-cream.

Anyway, living here is fun but hard. You can observe a plenty of students in lobbies studying. But it's impossible to study here because every day at the same time at least 3 events occure and almost every of them accompanied by food. America.

This is too pretty to be able to concentrate on  homework

Romania-Bridge-Bulgaria-Twins reunion-Sofia-Starbucks!

This year I was lucky, cuz. I’ve had quite good neighbors in a train-room, than last year. I’ve practiced a bit of Bulgarian , and relaxed for 2 days. I really liked a train station in Bucharest, Romania, that time we’ve had 40 min of break, so I decided to come out of train and breathe  a real Romanian air.  Well, my impression ( of what ive seen at least) of Romania, is that this is  a country of differences.  It has an awesome train station, and even double-decker trains!!! Yes, ive never seen them. BUT at  the same time you can see really old, broken seats, walls, old buildings. A really nice mix. People are really different you can see poor people, local citizens, and really European style people the same time. Also, there was a strange runner at 12am on a bridge 






AND finally I came back to Bulgaria for 3rd time already!!! And I was really happy about my coming because guess what? My Bulgarian sister-twin-best friend has met me !! This is sooo sweet that I want to cry even now. Twins   have too much in common, like she came with Katelyn (cuz volunteers were allowed to bring their students) and then I became Katelyn Junior. We both have tooooo much stories to tell about, and yep we’re left-handed…so im really grateful that I met Pavlena.  But let’s stop the crying sweet story, and just move on :D


Just after I’ve arrived, I screamed “ Starbucks” OMG!!! And I did it!!! AAAAAHHH…. We went to Starbucks, I took Frappuccino-mocca-crispy with cookies and then Americano.  Ive felt American, like, you know, coffee cup in your hands, American style ahahh, nice…).  Then we hanged around a city, and oh my gosh, I tried Bulgarian subway, there is even subway there in Sofia! :D It’s nice, it’s new, I really liked the idea of historical posters ( mini-museums) in subway, but ahah, my first words were “ OMG it looks like public toilet” Well, don’t take it really close, because what I’ve seen next!! Impressed me,  super-new –European carriages which I didnt expect to see. Then I’ve visited Russian shop, that had Ukrainian salo , but didn’t have Ukrainian sweets and ice-cream.  ALSO, I tried Bulgarian tram, wohhoo! Then there was a strange guy-actor-chaplin, who wanted to take a pic with me. And the best part of Sofia, was a completely brilliant present from my sis – frame with photos of us ^_^  and sweet. Cute, honest, nice words on its back. Now this present is on my desk in dorms : )   Sofia was great, but I’ve had a bus at 5 pm.


On a way to Blago there was huge thunderstorm! So, surely after I arrived to Avtogara, I decided to take a taxi, and to go right to Dorms. Well nothing really changed completely, but I have ants in my room. Just imagine, nice morning, coffee,  and there are crowds of ants in your bread,  good. But, hopefully, they fixed it, because I wrote in a book of damages about this problem, and actually there are still ants in my room but not so much…( they still hope that I’ll leave bread for them in  a shelf) .


Let’s move on, this year I live in a Resident Assistant room…woohhoo! On the 2nd floor. My neighbors are from Russia and Moldova…so actually we have a Russian-speaking community in my room. :D  Unsleeping, insomnia, homework, starving are almost my everyday “friends”.  And yes, I might be on BgTV, because at time when I was signing the papers, the television began to shoot us. Awwww.  The first day was okay.

Visa-Jumping in the Embassy

This week was, perhaps, the most nervous I’ve ever had.  Right after I came from camp GLOW, I applied for a Bulgarian “D” visa, which is a really long and terrible process.   I’ve booked train tickets on 22nd of August, and had to arrive on 24th. ( right on Independency Day of Ukraine). For a week I was calling to Embassy with a hope that I got my visa, but every time  I got the answer that my visa is on agreement process. The worst words to hear really. Sooo, time flies, time comes,  a date of departure is closer and closer and I still don’t have visa.


21th no visa. I asked them if there were a possibility of receiving it on next day, but as they explained; I could get it only if Bulgaria accepts my application between 9-10am, then maybe I can get it. But well I was ready to sleep over at the Embassy, begging for visa, because acc I’ve had 2 options either I return my train tickets and maybe come late, ( and just not really cool when everything messed up and you need to start everything from the beginning) or I come in the morning ( because I had to take translated docs )and my parents will bring me my luggage, that ive packed, again having no idea what to expect.   This awkward feeling, you know, when you are packing clothes, having no idea of what will be the next day, of this visa, of nothing at all!

Well, it’s better to call everything as “ A long hard road out of hell”. Earlier, before applying I just joked that “I’ll receive my visa just on a day of my departure” And actually, I don’t know what happened, but it was a Miracle, a real Miracle!!! At 11 am I was already at the Embassy, I waited for a long, again I met an awesome Bulgarian guardian : ) , waited, and I was informed that I’ve already got my visa. I was too shocked, I jumped and screamed just right there in a centre of the Embassy made other laughing. I couldn’t believe, I thanked to everyone there, hysteria!

Then I called to parents, and yes I go…I go to Bulgaria.

Heeey heeeyyy G.L.O.W. !

General super-impressions and information

July has gone far far far away,  so here is my report. As you might know this month was really amazing: full of useful information, experience, Americans, friends and just fun! So,  in 5 days after a  festival I've attended a really awesome and inspirational camp G.L.O.W. ( Girls Leading Our World) that's organized by Peace Corps Volunteers from the US, and almost free for campers, because lots of  good people donate their money into this project. The main idea of this camp is  to show us the main world's problems and to teach us tolerance, leadership and teamwork as well. We talked about gender discrimination, human trafficking which statistic is really impressive!!! ( 1% of women escape from slavery! just imagine that!!!), domestic violence ( the main rule of its is do not , do not, do not stay with a person who forces you to do smth. against your will, do not stay with this person!), HIV\AIDS and many many more interesting and useful topics.  We've had guest speakers everyday who talked to us, we've had like 3-4 lessons each day, with small breaks ( when we've had snacks wooohhooo!!! :33 mostly it was coffee with some cookie or biscuit and ice-cream ). 

It was an English camp! It was  a really fun camp! It was an amazing camp! 
Only what i can say now are:




  • WOW, I want to share these topics and ideas with others
  • AWESOME now i will and i'm able to help people. 
  • YES i'm strong enough and i'll achieve everything
  • STOP  discrimination, putting tags on people, gender violence.

  • And randomly we have WAYS, and really! WAYS of help, of work, of living, of our decisions!
    Everything depends on us and on the WAYS of our decision or behavior in one or other situation. 

    Talking about ways of escape there are two emergency numbers ( for Ukrainians) that are free, you just call there in a case of slavery, or if you need any help. These numbers are FREE!

    386- is a number where you can get an advice if you have some troubles in your family, or with your friends, or you need an advice of  a professional lawyer , or psychological help.

    527-   is an International Organization for Migration in Ukraine, you should call there if  you decided to go abroad, or some " work-company" offered you a job and you want to work there. Calling to this number you can check that your work-place-company really exist! And that everything is official, they'll give emergency numbers of Embassy in a country where you go etc. 

    Just PLEASE do not be lazy to check any place where you go!!! Calling to one of these numbers you'll spend about 10 minutes, but  then maybe you'll save your life! 

    Despite lessons, we also have had lots lots of fun! And yes we've had a campfire! with smores!! It was sooo awesome cuz. it was with American marshmallows! In the morning we could attend different morning activities like parkour!, aerobic, pilates, dances, yoga ahhh lots of ! Also there were different team-building activities, and my favorite big-roll hug :), and yeees water-balloons fighting, photo hunting contest....aww lots of fun.


    G.L.O.W. is my 2nd FAMILY! 



    The best part  of a camp were energizers! Cuz. yyees we were exhausted especially on the morning meetings, AND do not let us sleeping, guess what? aha, we've had super energizers...Crazy  stuff really!
    My favorite was 60's party from a 60's movie ....chaotic, fun thing!

    Also I liked the activity when we've made ribbons for HIV-kids, it was really my dream to help at least a little bit them!

    Acivities time!

    Leadership lesson!
    Energizer time!
    And a Family time!

    I'm really impressed of camp and so happy that i've had an opportunity to go there!
    As I know this camp  should be next year too!  And any of you can attend it!
    When there'll be an information of when, how, where, applications. Be sure,  i'll let you know!

    And now you can attend camp-groups in VK and FB where all information will be too and where you can ask questions if you have them!
    http://vk.com/club45798489
    https://www.facebook.com/groups/364164293679015/

    If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask me!

    And to sum up all my awesome impressions, here is a video, which was created by our awesome volunteers,  of our camp G.L.O.W. ( or just how i've spent these fantastic 5 days)

    Enjoy



    I love love love love every detail of camp!  It was just CAMPAMAZING! :)



    P.S. and yes i've already applied for Bulgarian "D" visa and went to a Bulgarian Embassy, so they promised that i'll receive my visa on time! almost 2 weeks till the new life! Excited!

    School is out forever :,(

    Yes, this day has come....the day when i should say goodbye to my school, to the happiness that my teachers gave me, to the copybooks and tests, and speeches on history.
    It's too difficult to me to forget all my favorite teachers, and u know...this situation and these emotions are the same when i've left camp...strong emotions, and tears on nights...
    So, how was it....

    We are the luckiest ever....because it was raining all night before, and in the middle of lineyka- (that's when all pupils are standing form by form making a square). It was an awesome moment when suddenly it began to rain ( bur acc as far as i remember it wasn't raining for 5-6 yrs on the last bell, so we're kind of special in this sense). So , i bet everyone will remember our last bell :DD

    Next, FIRST TIME in our school, we've let go to pigeons...And i bet it was unforgettably too.
    Also, in Ukraine we have a tradition when all alumni wear "soviet union" school uniforms ( really, in soviet union everyone was wearing to these unifroms!!). My pigeon was eager to fly, but i've tried to calm it ...

    Well, then we let go to our balloons, mine has luckily flew away ^^ Acc i've also had yellow balloon and yellow flowers :,D
    Then, awww, we've presented flowers to our teacher, and we've given them an invitation to our prom..Of course i was giving an invitation to my Art teacher :33 Anndd....i've completely forgotten to give her a copybook as a gift ( cuz. gifts were on the other side, plus i was panicking, crying etc.)....
    But at the end i've come to her and i've almost cried saying sorry cuz. i've just forgotten, omg i was almost crying...then Art teacher hugged me, and didn't let me go..OMG she's so kind and cute....ahah she was joking cuz. i was like - kill me please; - of course i'll do....)) ^^ she's so cute....love her.

    ALSO we've exchanged gifts with kids from 1st form...Well it was awkward too...everyone was running, and i couldn't find a kid to give my present to...I was like....AAAA...was standing in the middle of square disappointed, as suddenly i've seen one small boy, who  also was standing in the middle disapointed...Nobody around...AWWW THE CUTEST MOMENT EVER
    Anyway i'm happy that i've found  kid to give my present to ^^




    This day was full of tears, but i promised to come back on winter from Bulgaria and visit my teachers...I'll do it...I PROMISE....
    So, also my dreams came true....because i've taken photos with my teacher of chemistry....chemiiistryyy ^^
    And with others my favorite teachers too...
    You know, yes it's hard to leave but it was worth it to hear THESE WARM,SINCERE WORDS from teachers

    I've dreamt to hear them for a long time...and this day i was honestly talking with my teacher and i've told them how i was happy to see them in school, how they've made me smile all the time...
    ALL my teachers hugged me with a such huge sincere...with smile on their faces...I won't forget them at all, i can't do that.

    Anyway my chemistry teacher promised to skype with me, she promised!!! :D
    What's strange,  it seems that earlier teacher were not soo close to alumni...idk...but ths day they were REALLY crying!!! they were crying that we leave school...omg...

    I really admire all me favorite and sincere teachers...I will say that i've heard a lot of warm words from  them..and i'm happy that i've had such sincere talks with them!
    By the way, i was wearing bow that i've worn in 1st grade!!!


    Well second part was when we've spent like 2 hours in our local attraction park....where i've tried mini American slights....I WON'T GO THERE AGAIN... It was sooo scary-strange, so fast ...omg ...my first words when i've sit on slight were "I love chemistry" :DD


    And the last part,  we've spent the rest of day at some kind of camp, with lake and grass ...We've had lots of fun there different teeterboards and FOOD....We also were sailing the boat...and acc were having fun there...
    And yeah...we've had the most epic end of everything, when the driver of our bus began to fight with smn's parent...Everything was okay....But...Well...Okay )

     AND now exam week....yaaayyy

    P.S. sorry for mistakes...cuz. i''m too exhausted

     Dreams come true? Or how many times did i say, that nothing happens just like that...Hmmm...
     Well, it's really strange and really awesome and unexpected situation! I've applied to American University in Bulgaria, and i didn't pass all the necessary tests really awesome but let it be.... When i received my results...Uhm i even can't say i was super-upset omg, nope..I thought okay, that's how it should be. :33...
    BUT I KNEW IT :DDDD   1 month later i received message, first impression shock and just WHAT?
     Well, this time the University wrote me, and my application was conditionally approved, yeah conditionally but anyway i didn't loose, that's my chance woohhooo..
    Honest;y, i was really, really shocked , i was just what...2 messages saying smth abt visa etc... WHAT WHERE MOOOOOM IM GOING TO BULGARIA XDDDD
     Then I was dancing i was shocked, and this sentence in my acceptance letter we were really impressed of your academical achievements..awww. :)
    Well, in conclusion they proposed me to attend preparation English courses and after passing all the tests again i'll be officially student :333 And i think i'll take this opportunity...Here i go Bulgaria :D Ah, so excited and happy :) Thank u AUBG !!!
    Despite there a lot of problems i need to figure out to receive visa and international passport ...but awww...just papers)

    And other super-cool yaaay news :

    Life is Beautiful

    I'm crying cuz. of happiness. Nothing so special happened, but so simple stuff made me the happiest ...so happy ...I haven't this feeling since camp. I've just felt happiness , i'm so happy ...that ...i swooned...hahah...almost..

    What has happened ...Well, I had a project work in school about Leadership...I knew that yup, i need this topic, cuz. i was highly-interested in it. To begin with, I prepared myself really good, cuz. it was interesting.... I'm really thankful to communication skills classes in AUBG camp, cuz. We talked there about leadership, we even prepared a speech at the end of week :3  So, it wasn't so hard to recognize all of that. And i've used that experience as well. I remember how we talked and watched there about M.L.King's speech " I have a dream", as we discussed that.So, preparing here, I was eager to share my experience and knowledge from camp. I was telling about M.L.King as a great leader about J.Kennedy etc....

    I was telling my speech so exiting, and interesting. Thanks to com.skills classes....
    I've received the HIGHEST mark!! Our teacher is really strict and it's hard to get high mark, cuz. u should really know what are u talking about...And this is the first time EVER when i got this mark.. And this is the first time when she put this kind of mark  (as far as i remember) .THE HIGHEST the most most most most highest.
    I'm so proud :,)

    But it's not the end ....
    After that I shared on facebook about this cool experience...
    And then...Omg ...Ahahah...IT WAS OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG  OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG.......
    Katelyn from camp and other PC Volunteer from camp too (cool dude) they both liked my post....Nothing special...huh...BUT I WAS SO SHOCKED that my blood pressure  just jumped ahaha..I was almost crying... Idk. perhaps from shock cuz. i didn't expect THAT ! But ...It made me so so  so  happy :3333

    And what's next I shared my huge happiness with my left-handed friend from Bulgaria about that...And guess what, then she wrote how we really love our Bulgarian volunteers ( that's true ALL OF THEM ...:)) And sure, she tagged me there -_-  cuz. she wrote how  exited i was and i am  ....ahaha...And then Katelyn commented that..
    Omg ..it's really seems like ....what...HAAAAAPPINESS...

    So, Im just dancing on my computer table ....And guess what ....I'm happy !
    I do Love Americans ^___^
    Life is Beautiful!
