Разрешите представиться - меня зовут Екатерина Станиславовна Медведева. Уже двадцать лет я работаю в Гимназии №1 г.Брянска, и мне очень нравится моя профессия. Конечно,бывает нелегко, но...

To change the world - that's why I am a teacher.

Ambitious? Maybe. But I will explain.

Just probably like any other creature

I don’t want to live my life in vain.

“What can we do?”- you’ll ask. I am aware:

We are too tired. Often underpaid.

Who can be always patient, kind and fair

With piles of students’ works to check and grade?

What can we do? We aren’t in the position

To influence decisions of the state.

Yet, I believe, we have another mission.

Yet, I believe, we have another fate.

We plant the seed. It will become a flower.

What kind – it is a question to discuss.

But we are just the people in whose power

It is to change the world around us.
