About Myself

My name is Anastasia. I think that the name of a person can express many things. My name suits me perfectly because I am kind, tender, attentive, and sociable – these are indeed my qualities. Girls with the name Anastasia often choose professions that require creativity. As for me, I really like dancing – I have attended chorographical ensemble for 10 years. My mother told me that my favorite hobby while I was a child was dancing, sometimes even without music.

At school I was never still, and I managed to do everything: I had good grades, participated in the school humor club team and all school celebrations, and attended dancing courses. I never studied too hard, but knowledge was very easy to get for me, and teachers liked me for my social activity. Now I understand that those were the best years of my life – 10th and 11th school-years. I didn’t have any problems, no concerns, only friendly and cheerful classmates – just to live or be happy. Together with my classmates we still visit school on holidays to see the teachers (last time we stayed till 2 a.m., and if the teachers didn’t get tired, we could stay till morning) and they are very glad to see us.

When I entered university, I chose the profession that I wanted to have. Tourism manager is a sociable, open-minded and very useful person nowadays. The most important thing that influenced my profession choice was socializing with people. I would never be able to stay at the same place all the time and do some routine work. But being a tourism manager means knowing all the beautiful places of our planet, traveling and giving people joy – since everybody dreams about holidays during the whole year, and it is very important to avoid mistakes in choosing a tourist company.

I do not feel that I am a grown-up person yet. I still feel like I have just graduated from the school, at the age of 18. Many people get married already at my age, make a family, but I am not in a hurry with that. I don’t want to be dependant on my husband, that’s why I need to attain many things. I am very independent girl and I think that a wife could be dependant on a husband in the XIX century, when women were not allowed to do anything. But now there are a lot of professions for women, and even in masculine professions some women have attained perfection.

In general I think that one should try everything in life, or at least try to do that, as we have only one life!
