Essay --

I am an Armenian, through my veins flows the clear blood of my ancients. We live on a small piece of land called Armenia. My country comes from the ancient times, it is too old and at the same time too young with its independence. I am the inheritor of the Seven, Yerevan, the Aragats, Garni, Ejmiatsin and finally the inheritor of my dear Vanadzor. Vanadzor is a mountain town of unparalleled beauty, realm of forest-covered mountains, of dizzy gorges and bubbling rivers. Vanadzor was greatly damaged during the1988 earthquake. At that time a lot of people came to help us. Though I am eighteen I remember stories about that earthquake told by my parents and grandparents and I also remember the citizens that came to help us. Among them were Garbachov, Eltsin and many other people from all over the world. They were really global citizens. It is unforgettable the deeds done by them. Here we can say that they are respected not only for their personality but as well as their deeds. As we know a citizen is a person who has legal rights in a country. We are all citizens in our countries, but there are citizens whom we can call global. As for me in the range of global citizens the first ones are the people who have the Nobel Prize for peace. I want to mention about a woman called Mother Teresa (Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu).

After a few months of training Mother Teresa went to India and took her initial vows as a ... ...ove the life of homeless children charges with the energy and hope for achieving my destination. I am still a teenager and have a lot of things to learn. I know that first of all I must be a good citizen for my country as I know that my nation tried to decline the right of its independence from the first moment of our history and our generation is to keep and improve everything we have. I think that a man must live his life so that he could add at least a bit amount of colour and sense to his life and what is more to the lives of others’ in order to keep truth, joy and meaning in every minute of his life. Now I look back and realize that all the volunteering programs where I took part were just a little sheet of paper from the book I must fulfill, but I do hope that one day I would have done something for society and will be glad and a little proud of my past!
