Hobbies

If I were to pick one favourite hobby of mine out of the many I have, I will definitely pick gardening. I developed a taste for dancing when I was very young. The way my feet moved to the rhythm of the music convinced my parents that I was a born dancer. Dancing is very uplifting as well as economical. Hobbies play a very important role in our lives. They occupy our minds when we are free and also make us happy. Hobbies are our escape from the real world that makes us forget our worries. Moreover, they make our lives interesting and enjoyable. If we look at it, all our hobbies are very useful for us. They teach us a lot of things about different stuff. They also help in expanding our knowledge.

Homework

Educational camps in our school. Which camp do you prefer-summer or winter? Why?

The camp is one of the most brilliant ideas that makes our school different and right. Why would you say right, because when a student goes on winter vacation and gets rest after that vacation, he has to come and adjust to school right away, what is it? Winter camp allows us to be more motivated to study further. But one thing I love is summer camp. Its weather conditions give us a wide range of possibilities. In Armenian, «We are the ones who see our heads». At winter camp, we work a lot on the same projects, trips. We always go to the ice rink and play snowball and stuff like that. And for the summer camp, we are free from the point of view of travel, we go to Aretes, which I like very much, on a 3-day trip. In the summer we spend a good time enjoying as much as we can because then we don’t see each other for two months and we miss each other. I am proud that my school was Mkhitar Sebatatsi and I was able to take advantage of such interesting schedules (camps, trips, projects) of this school and work to create Sebastasi from the first grade.

My last movie

I saw this awesome movie recently that made me feel super patriotic. It’s called Garegin. Have you heard of it? It’s about this guy named Garegin Nzhdeh, who’s like a big hero for Armenians.The movie was really inspiring. It made me feel proud to be Armenian and made me want to do something for my country.They filmed it in Armenia and France, but also in Western Armenia and Moscow, which was pretty cool. And get this – it’s only for Armenians. It’s not meant for Turks or Azerbaijanis. There’s this quote in the movie from Garegin Nzhdeh that I really liked: «Having our own country isn’t just something we want, it’s something we need to make happen.» It’s all about how important it is for us to have our own homeland. I think every self-respectful;l Armenian should watch this movie. It’s a reminder of how much we love our country and how important it is to work for its future.
