It’s good to be a student!

Every young person wants to get higher education nowadays and technical education is a part of our country’s education system. Some months ago, I passed my entrance exams and I’m a student of Computing Engineering Department.

My name’s Victor, I’m 17. I finished school #5. I’m going to be a system engineer (programmer). I think this profession is especially important in our computer age, because computers are used everywhere and have many applications. In my opinion, every young specialist has to deal with computer and to know at least one foreign language.

I met many friends at the University. We are 30 in the group. There are some foreign students in our group, they come from China. Of course, their native language is Chinese, but they also speak Ukrainian and English a little. We learn many interesting and new subjects. My life becomes more and more interesting. Students do research, go in for sport, visit concerts, disco or a cinema. I’m glad to be a student! It’s really great!
