As it was mentioned above, my study at real school has begun since 2-nd form. It took place at primary comprehensive
school # 5 in Makeevka city. I’ve studied for 3 years at this school: from 2-nd form till 5-th.
Those years has brought a qualitatively new experience to me. Nevertheless, 1-st form was some sort of kindergarten. I can’t
remember if the teacher has ever punished me or I was worried by the homework. It was somehow unusual at the school.
There was strict school head, and teacher and school diary and … records about my behavior in it.
Life on the lessons and breaks was so different. Lessons were quiet and there were only minds about addition, subtraction,
multiplication and verbs. Every 15–20 minutes I’ve glanced in the window to the street. My main wish was to go outside of the
school. Infallibly, breaks were too short. When we heard the ring to the lesson we began our usual game. There were no
winners in it. Only unsuccessful pupil was the latest at the lesson.
There was no hardship at that time. Despite this fact my diary wasn’t clear. Even at those years I don’t love boring and monotonous
work. This kind of my attitude acted up even at that time. At that school I’ve no final marks that were less than 4. Even though, I’ve
not had many excellent marks. It was surprisingly, but I hadn’t look on our high achievers with envy. Certainly I’ve known that my
big time is not so far in the future.
The most vivid recollections of those years are:
- breathtaking and ultra dynamic leading via playing tag
- first experience of rivalry in study
- rivalry for privilege to be the best class at school
- first track records, especially in swimming
- absence of success in studying
Graduation from the primary school was celebrated as symbolic “graduation exercises”. After the celebration I entered to the
secondary school.
