Sports cub - Shooting

A shooting sport is a competitive sport involving tests of proficiency (accuracy and speed) using various types of guns such as firearms and airguns(see archery for more information on shooting sports that make use of bows and arrows). Hunting is also a shooting sport, and indeed shooting livepheasants was an Olympic event (albeit only once, in 1900). The shooting sports are categorized by the type of firearm, targets, and distances at which the targets are shot from.

Open doors day at school

In our country every town has a patron day – the patron day of Veliko Turnovo is 22^nd March which is also the first day of the spring. In order to celebrate it in our school we organize an Open doors day so that people can come and see what we do in our school and what it offers. Everyone was taking part in different activity. This year I decided to try something different so I was busy in the laboratory making biological experiments. Also there were chemistry experiments and at one time no one was doing the chemistry experiments while there were too many people doing biology. Although, I am not studying chemistry I decided using the teacher’s instructions to make an attempt to do some experiments. For my surprise they were all successful and I felt really proud with myself. Another thing I did was to decorate a small vase by painting it and using the technique of decoupage.

Visiting Chris Norman’s concert

Today is the patron day of our town – First Day of Spring 22^nd March. This is the reason why yesterday the great rock singer Chris Norman was invited to have a concert in our town. I was really excited cause I had the opportunity to visit a concert of one of the greatest singers of all times who was also a lead singer in the British rock group Smokie.  It was one of the best concerts I have ever visited because every detail was perfect and I could feel how my parents used to feel when they were my age. We had two wonderful hours full with rock and on of the best songs from 80s until nowadays.

Organizing trip to Chiflika and Troyan

After a short break it was time for a trip again. This time the main aim of this trip was to have fun and express our creativity. We were going to have different activities every day and for this aim we were supposed to prepare them in advance. What is more we had to prepare materials for our creative tasks. Together with our teachers we decided to combine the creative tasks with some action. They chose the tasks during the day and we were supposed to find recycled materials cause it was going to be eco camp. Later in the days we offered to go for walks or to do something outside. We also found out that there is a swimming pool with hot mineral water which made us think of an appropriate games and competitions to do there. Fortunately this time we didn’t have to write scripts but instead we had to choose different games for every night. Although we had a lot of things to do for this organization we also had  a lot of fun .

Sports club - Volleyball

Today we had the usual meeting of the sports club in school and as we were enough people we decided to play volleyball. It is one of the most popular games in our school and most of us are very good in it so it became a nice and interesting game. I enjoy volleyball because it is a team sports and teaches you how to work with others and cooperate with them. What is more, it gives you the opportunity to train your body while having fun with friends.

Participating in Zonta club’s competition

Zonta club is an international organization found in the beginning of the XX century in Buffalo, New York along the lines of Rotary club. It is a service organization the aim of which is to advance the status of women worldwide. Each year there is a competition organized by Zonta for girls and the winner in it wins a scholarship or an award. In order to participate in this competition you have to be chosen by the members of your district and then to write a personal statement including details about yourself, a few essays and two references from teachers. I gave my best for this application but unfortunately I didn’t manage to win on national level – maybe there were better applications than mine. I hope the chosen girl would do good enough and win on international level. However this event gave me experience which would be really useful when applying to university later on. 

Celebrating Baba Marta

This year in order to celebrate one of our national holidays Baba Marta we decided to organize a surprise for the old people at the Local Resident Home “Veneta Boteva”. Together with my classmates and some other students we prepared a special show for the people in the home which included songs and poetry that are related to this celebration. What is more, in order to make them feel even more special we gave each of them traditional matrenitsa. They were all very happy, in their opinion this show was too short, and they wanted us to extend it. We weren’t prepared for such reaction but we managed to react on time and made our program longer. For me it was a great pleasure to see so much old people smiling and being happy  because of us. I felt that I made something very special that day.
