3. The place that is special to me

  Every person has a place which is very important for him or her. To me this place is camp Artek. Artek is rather old camp. It was opened in 1925 and then became the main camp of USSR. Every pioneer was dreaming about visiting this place. After collapse of the USSR Artek hasn't lost its popularity. The main advantage of Artek is a special atmoshere of equality among children. Every one should wear the same clothes. All people from one squad live in one room (13 people in one room). Some parts of camp's life may seem rather odd, for example, singing rather annoying song when your squad meets another one and repetition moves after your leader in dicso, but these minuses can't spoil the whole attitude to this atmosphere. Also the place which Artek is situated in makes it very special. It is the shore of the Black Sea in semi-island Crimea in Ukraine. There are two simbols of Artek. The first is the big mountain which is called "bear-mountain". Every camper should visit the highest point of it. It is very old tradition. And the second is significant memorial of Vladimir Lenin which can be seen from everywhere in camp.
  I have been to Artek two times: in 2008 and in 2009. The first was one the happiest parts of my life. I was a captain of squad, I met a lot of good people. It was a fairytale. Then, after a year of waiting for a new travel to this camp, I arrived here again and understood..... it wasn't that fairytale. People had changed and I also had changed. Only one thing didn't change. It was Artek. And, I think, it will never change and will always welcome new children who want to touch this unforgettable fairytale.

2. Teens' stupidity.

  Even every teenager 12-15 years old, especially girls, can't stop dreaming about opposite sex. They are trying to hide it from friends or parents, but it is visibly and there is no shame in it. In girls' dreams the man should calm, strong and often without much feellings. He should be inaccessible to be the one, who all girls are dreaming about. There is a similar situatoin in boys' mind: they prefer to think about untouchable girls, whom they will never get an opportunity to talk with. In this age people are rather stipud and can't understand the happiness of warm relations with another sex. And when you meet a kind and opened person, who want to communicate with you, you are starting to compare him with that fictional perfect character, who might don't exist in reality, and making a choise to continue searching for this ideal and reject all attempts of this 'dweeb' to communicate. So, teenagers of both sexes trying to look as much serious and inaccessible as they can.
 Imagine, a boy and a girl who are interesred in each other. They want to talk, but they still can't stop being serious.  So, in this part of story, as in all stories about relationships between two sexes, boy should make the first step, because he is the future man. In process of communication teenagers usually starting to understand the reality of relationships between them. They are becoming more and more opened. They already don't think about their behavior, about their manner of speech. They are becoming who they are. They are just falling in love. And then they both are making confession of love - this should be a logical happy end of the story. But usually this end happens only in fairytales. In reality in these love games there are a winner and a loser. The loser is becoming so opened that winner is starting to compare that week opened person with perfect character and make a choice that this well-known kind friend is not the person, whom he/she have been dreaming about all life. The winner leaves the loser in search of ideal and loser becomes more closed and offended by all another sex. And it becomes bad circle of life. And it continues untill person gets older and more clever and understands that all he/she needs is real love, not an ephemeral ideal.

1. Introduction

Hi, people who came to this page to read my blog. My name is Michael Mozhevitin. I was born in Voronezh, Russia on 24^th of January, 1995 and had been living there for last 17 years. From the first form I have been interested in maths, but in the middle of the 9^th form I started learning economics, and then economics has become my most lovely subject. From that time I have participated in many olympiads.  One year  and a half I was learning without making any efforts, but in August 2011 I took part in Summer Economic School organized by Higher School of Economics. In this camp I had learned about specialized economic site – IloveEconomics.ru – and this site became the mainest site of my last form. I had been sitting in this site every day for 2-3 hours doing economic exercises and writing my own solutions to some of these. After 8 months of studying in this way I became the 6^th in Russian Economic olympiad. Having diploma of this olympiad, I became a student in this bachelor program of HSE and NES. I am really happy about studying in this program. Although it is very difficult, it is very interesting. In the first year of studying in this program I want to improve my knowledge in English and maths.

You might make sense that I am person, who is just studying every second of his free time. It’s false. I love doing sports and just talking with people, but now I consider that economics and education are the most important parts of my life.
