“About Myself”

I have a strange character, at least I myself fail to understand what I want and why. I spend most of my time thinking about various things. I speak little as life has taught me a lesson- much speaking causes troubles. I can say I am more a negative person than a positive one. I frequently get angry, mostly about crazy things. I communicate little; I prefer staying alone from time to time. My mood changes very often, but I prefer some neutral states of mind, when I am neither sad, nor joyful. I have no definite image or style which may be accounted for by the fact I am changeable. Instead, I like studying others' way of life.

My hobby is guessing what others think of but never take the courage to say it aloud. Sometimes I manage to do this. I, on the contrary try to conceal my thoughts from others.

I like trying new things in all spheres of life, merely all. Sometimes the newly tried things just become part and parcel of my life, form a small cell of the routine.

Making friends is not an easy task for me as well as the separation from people. I like making silly jokes and self applauding fervently to these jokes. I don't conceal my joy when I make a successful speech.

I also like analyzing various situations. That's all.

It is impossible to change all of these features in a day. I don't know: it is difficult to analyze myself.

“About Myself”

I am Rima. I don't like my name and always change it when play some game with my sister. To tell the truth I don't have a best loved name as I always get disappointed when I learn we have an old relative with the name. I seem to be tired of everything in the world. I like telling lies very much especially if this refers to my school studies. One day I remember mother asking my mark book to check my lessons. Unfortunately, I was not ready; I had no willingness to answer the lessons and started lying thus:
“What is the assignment for the Armenian History?”
“The teacher hasn't changed the old assignment, mom.”
“Call your friends, ask them what has been assigned. I will listen on the next phone.”
I brought the second telephone scared to be caught red-handed and suddenly remembered Mariam was out. I called her.
“Hello, can I talk to Mariam?”
“Mariam is out.”
“Mom, Mariam is out, I don't have anyone else's phone number. But, please, believe me. There is no new assignment for tomorrow. ”
“OK, bring your physics. I want to listen you telling me your physics lesson.”
I told her the old lesson which I knew very well. So I was saved. I was lucky I had no other lessons mother could ask me except literature which she didn't like to listen to. Otherwise I would be in a great trouble.
I don't like others, especially my friends, lying to me. I like chewing gum but I don't like when they do it noisily, just under my ear. I like going to school but I hate studying.
This is all I can tell you about myself. Judge yourself whether I am good or bad.

“About Myself”

I suppose I am a bad one as in this small town of ours I may be replaced by three other kids, but I believe I am not that bad. I am kind not to be too boasty. My family is not that of scientists and I suppose I don't have to fit into special intelligence standards. My brothers hold the contrary view. They believe I spoil the brainpower of our family.
My story is very short; I am writing it very fast. My having a dog depends fully on this.

“About Myself”

I love my sweet Armenia's sun-flavored speech
I love the plaintive musings of our ancient saz.
Yeghisheh Charents wrote about me

I am Moushegh. You probably know that. I have no permanent features to talk about which can be accounted for by the fact I always think differently. But don't think I am complaining. I like thinking. I also like making new discoveries but have made none till now, alas. I like citing, bringing quotes especially from various films to best fit this or that situation. I like teasing people but always regret afterwards. I don't like apologizing which is a kind of a principle for me. I hate being praised. I like money; I collect money but hardly ever spend it. That is the reason I sometimes have money accumulations. Look, I collect money to buy something. Then I change my mind and my budget grows thus. My brothers try in vain to borrow money from me from time to time as I never lend a penny. I like making jokes but do this in a low voice so that not to feel ashamed if people don't laugh. I like eating all kind of candies. I buy sweets, keep them in my shelf and sell them to my brothers, though quite rarely. I don't like doing school assignments but… some reprimanding looks and I give in. I sit down to do the homework. Sometimes I get offended from the whole world.
“To be or not to be”, Shakespeare wrote. See, I made a quote though not quite a good one.
I don't like people who try to show off. I want to show them the strength of my fist sometimes and even do so. I don't like watching movies but join my elder brother when he sits down in front of the TV set. I'd like to mention some negative features of mine but what can I do? I have none. That's the problem.

“About Myself”

When being praised she shifts her look or changes the subject. But I know what goes on with her at the moment: either her cheeks blush or her eyes get wet. Then she plays with her eye brows, touches her eyes trying to stay invisible, closes her cheeks as if trying to put down the fire burning inside and blows up her hair, adding: “It is hot, isn't it?” And if they don't agree with her on the fact of being hot she blushes again. But they fortunately agree in most of the cases. Another thing about her is that she loves doing good to other people. She can never say no to those who turn to her with a request even though she realizes she is really unable to be helpful in most of the cases.
“Maneh, will you clean Mush's shoes? They are all in mud”, mother asks her.
“I will, I will”, she says in reply.
It rains. Mush has no shoes to put on. Maneh hasn't still cleaned them.
“I will, I will…” mother reprimands. “Your sister never promises to do thing she knows she will not. An eternity passes till you decide to do something.”
Maneh, nevertheless, thinks refusal to do a thing is worse than the promise which you are not supposed to keep.
People call her an “Arab” or an old lady who wears a shawl on her head. She doesn't like people saying this but the shawl is always on her.
Rare are the cases when she is back home from school without red and swelled eyes. The reason is either a problem with class boys or a good mark instead of an excellent one.
“Who are they to see you crying”, Maneh's brave friends encourage her.
When walks along the street they take her for an insane.
She helps people but never shows her willingness to hear a thanksgiving word from them though she really wants it to.
I'll tell you one more thing about Maneh, but please, keep it in secret. She never conceals the truth, talks straightly to people and tries to be as frank as possible.

“About Myself”

I am Anna. I am very serious, though there are people who do not share this opinion. Maybe, it is difficult to guess I am serious from my appearance, but do not doubt, believe me- I am one.
I am easy tempered; I get nervous at even very unimportant things. I keep very quiet at school, but I am different at home. I do not like working, but do work as I have to. I don't like lying, for I know I will be caught red handed one day. Sometimes, very rarely, nevertheless, I lie to save the situation. I like making jokes, but only with those, whom I know well. It is not easy for me feel myself at home with strangers. It takes me a lot of time to make friends and feel free.
I blush, when they praise me.
I like staying alone and listening to music.
I like interrupting people, but cannot stand when others interrupt me.
This is me.

People don’t understand me. And I don’t understand them too. They are my friends, but anyway, I don’t understand them. I don’t know if I am good or bad. It’s me. I’m not very kind, because I don’t help others during the control works. I like to be independent from everyone and everything. My friends feel uncomfortable with me. I’ve many friends, but not all of them are really good friends. And I have no friends which are girls, I don’t know if it is good or bad.
I’m very lazy. Teachers say: "I you would work much, you could be a professor". But I’m lazy and don’t want to work. I begin to work only when I really need something very much.
People say taste differs. My friends say that only I have ‘’blue’’ blood. I like strange things, old music and weird clothes.
And I have a strange name, Ellen. I didn’t like this name when I was little. But when I grew up I understood that no one else had a name like this. It’s good when you are unique.

All I do need is information. I like to know everything new. I don't like people concealing things from me. I spend sleepless nights trying to solve problems. I hate school and the studies. But I realize I need them for my future and so make myself study. I don't also like to be in very difficult situations as I don't manage to concentrate on a reasonable solution quickly. I always try to forget the things done, but sometimes even this becomes impossible. I like being surrounded by people of different kind as I can learn much from them and enrich my knowledge.

“About Myself”

It was noon. I was on my way back home. I was very proud having received a great portion of praise from my teacher of English. I was even confused a bit. Another thing my mind was busy with was the fact I had been sitting near two beautiful girls during the English class. I had said good bye in a high voice and left the room.
In a word I was walking down the street in a good humor. I was smiling, laughing but people round me were all sad. My joy was greater though and it seemed there were no people around. Suddenly I spotted hope- an old smiley man with a broken Coca-Cola bottle taken from out of garbage and a piece of stale bread. Please don't think he was an insane. He was just happy, happy by the fact he had something to eat at least. I was very glad to see him. In a minute I saw him laughing. Maybe he thought I had lost my mind or something but that was not important at the moment. I made him laugh; maybe he will make others smile too.

“About Myself”

If you turn to my friends they will assure you I underestimate myself but don't believe them. I know me better then my mom or the best friend. Many are the cases when I am in a bad humor or fall into melancholy for very little things, sometimes this happens without any definite reason. It just happens and lasts long. When they speak of something interesting next to me, I find it difficult to keep silent and my blue mood changes. My best friends sigh relieved. Now they don't need to try to cheer me up uselessly. As I already mentioned I like interfering with others' conversation and express my on various matters even though not always successfully. There come days when I just can't stand myself. I sit red eyed in the evenings and then go to bed to sleep calmly. When it rains in the morning I feel joyful, when it is sunny and hot the morning turns to the continuation of the red eyed evenings. I have always loved rain and detested sun, to be frank. I love sky. It is so vast. Especially I like the sunset when the sky is lit up with so many hues. But, please don't take me for a romantic. Or maybe I am one but I am a starter; I have learnt this romanticism from my friends. I was not a romantic in the past, - is the best wording. To tell the truth, I have learnt much from my friends. They are so nice and clever girls. If we take the statement “Tell me who your friend is and I will tell you who you are” as a right one then I have a great plus. Now you see I don't underestimate myself. It is true that from time to time I do things which get on my nerves. It is usually when I do something for the sake of my principles. In any case my friends are by my side to console me.
“Don't get sad, you are a good one, no one is worth your worries.”
The consolations usually last long, though I know they are only consolations. After all I am not that bad. Look, when my sister first saw me she took me for doll with red cheeks. And I take into consideration what my sister and my bets loved people say. I don't know what to write as a conclusion not to sound boring. May be I am too changeable and tomorrow my self description will look different.

“About Myself”

I can't be fully sincere. I often lie mostly at school and everywhere… I try a lot to do things opposite to those my classmates do but I never succeed to.
I paint during the classes. I only study the subjects I like. I am quick-tempered though one cannot guess I am so judging from my appearance. I am always getting offended but I forgive those who are sorry for their deeds towards me. I never refuse to help when asked to. I like being surrounded by friends and hate when they try to hurt me.
I don't like literal speech, the jargon either. But I have to learn the latter to be able to understand my classmates. I never try to look a good girl, let people decide for them whether I am good or bad.
Sometimes I can't tell what kind of person I am- haven't still analyzed me. I know one thing for sure: I don't like talking about myself so this is all about me.

I am Ashot and now I'll try to describe myself. I am difficult to deal with and even I don't find it easy to understand what and when I want. Many have been the cases when I had tried to decipher my inner processes but all in vain. I am changeable and that is another reason of self misunderstanding. I have no hobbies as I cease anything on the second or the third day. From the mess I have inside I can tell you one thing for sure- I never regret for what I do. I don't like lying but when need arises I turn to it though always get caught red handed. I don't like English, have never liked it and will never do so. I like girls, these weak and beautiful creatures. I can't imagine my life without them. I like to live with my changeable moods, to try different things, understand the good and the bad.

“About Myself”

I don't know who I am as there is a complete chaos in my mind and soul at the moment and changeability is the only feature of mine which I can best be seen. I can assure you once I used to be better than now. I am very indecisive. I hesitate all the time even I am sure of what I do. I lack self confidence. I can't refuse people and suffer as a result. Sometimes I do things I feel ashamed about later. Craziness… I am very lazy; I leave every thing for the last moment to do. It won't be a self praise to say I am kind and love my relatives. Sometimes I become selfish and hurt people who are close to me. I am a serious person, but from time to time things change and I start teasing others. I am become unbearable at those moments. I get offended from nothing and though at the bottom of my heart I realize my fault I never accept the fact in reality. I don't like others talking badly of my best loved people but do the same with those of theirs. I am very sensitive: when people are laughing next to me it seems they are laughing at me.
That's me. I leave it for you to decide whether I am god or bad.

I get to know myself from what people talk around. This does not, however, mean that I agree with whatever they say. For example, sometimes people say I am very calm by nature, but to tell you the truth, this is not quite true.
I think, that getting to know oneself by what others talk is better than self praise.
There are things, nevertheless, that I know about myself for sure: I am self-conscious, easy-tempered and I lie from time to time. This is a way to get protected.
I can be a good friend. I like when people listen to my opinion and take it into consideration. And when people praise me, I start laughing.

“About Myself”

I think I have a strong will, but it has already been fifteen winters, springs, and summers that I regularly remember that I’m unlucky and weak and begin to cry. I have been crying since I remember myself, and I often cry now, and I’m sure I won’t survive without crying in the future. Truly I like to cry, because it’s a way of relaxation. I cry when somebody shouts at me but it is without wanting to. I cry when I’m upset. I cry when I can’t answer back to injuries. Generally, I try not to hate anybody, since it is wrong. My big mistake is that I devote myself to everybody a lot and when I don’t like anything in my excitement I am immediately disappointed. I beg my pardon from all the readers and listeners but I have got disappointed in all those whom I have ever admired. This does not mean that there are no people whom I love, I have simply learnt to love people with all their drawbacks.
I hate the sun, no matter how cruel this may sound. I have only admired the sun on the seaside, at dawn. If I were the goddess of weather there would only be fall and gloomy weather. When I was younger I liked staying alone, now I am afraid. Laugh, laugh at me if you think that being afraid of robbers is childish, but who said that I am a grown up? I am tall, fifteen years old, but I feel like I am only ten. It sometimes seems to me that they have made me grow up, because I have never wanted to be old, because I don’t like hardships. I am lazy and if I do not stop being so, I will one day feel lazy to live and breathe.
I have inherited my dad’s brutality and when I get nervous, you better avoid talking to me, since I can really hurt you then.
I am lucky to have good friends. Thanks God that they love me, can pardon me and be true to me. That’s enough.
There is one very strange thing about me: I do not have dreams, except one- to be happy.
My greatest achievement is that I could get rid of my superstition.
I don’t like being surrounded with everybody’s attention, but I also don’t like being left out of attention.
I would like to warn you that I am very blunt and changeable. So don’t get surprised if you see me changed from head to foot when you see me in some two days.

I don’t like to speak very much. I am very shy and usually blush. But if you see me with my friends or in the house, you won’t think that I’m the shy and blushing girl whom you have seen or whom you have known before. I like to laugh without any reason, but of course when I’m in good humour. That time I can laugh, laugh and not get bored. Sometimes I’m in a very bad mood and then I don’t want to laugh at all. I lie on my room’s floor and I either sleep or cry. At those moments I can even keep silent for hours. And that is the reason my family fails to find me. I like to speak on the phone very much, or how my mother says to “burn the phone”. I don’t like to be forced to do something. I like to drink hot tea, especially in the spring and in the winter. When I was little I liked to drink tea in the wardrobe. I’m usually very flexible.

“About Myself”

Hello, I’m Ester. It is very difficult to tell about me, because usually other people talk about me: they either praise me or get angry with me, but let me tell you what I think about me . . .
I was born under the sign of the monkey. And consequently I like bananas. Being a monkey, I want to jump on to the trees, but everybody says that I’m clumsy. Maybe they are clumsy monkeys too. When I was a baby I was afraid of the moon. That’s why I either held my mother’s hand or asked her to hold me in her arms during the evening walks. I’m a little fragile and often want to cry.
If I tell you something, you may think that I’m jealous, but no, just listen to me. My classes start late, that’s why I return home at 18:00 o’clock. I come home and see my sister doing her lessons. Immediately I put my bag on the table and without washing my hands, taking off my dress, and having supper, I start doing my lessons, lest my sister finishes her lessons earlier than me. For example, do you know about my coming to Manana? I saw that Nane was going there and decided to go myself, not knowing where I was going.
Let me talk a little about my school life. I want to start with this: one of our boys’ mother told my mom that all of the boys were afraid of me. Please don’t think I am an ugly witch. For example, when I saw my knight being teased by his classmates I began to cry. Would a witch cry?
Well, I don’t like opening my heart fully. I told these things because I really don’t want you to imagine me as a witch only because our boys are afraid of me. My classmates even call me a philosopher because I speak a lot, sometimes even more than I should. And my teacher gives me excellent marks so that I stop talking.
I should also add that I am mad about fashion, which my mother thinks is a drawback. She tries to explain to me that all things are in vain, but I don’t listen to her.

Okay, first I will tell you about my character. My friends say I’m “mad about my lessons”. The rest I don’t know. I only know that when I’m in bad humour, you should not talk to me.

I like history and my history teacher very much.
I feel bad only when my mother and my aunt aren’t with me. I like to read historical novels and to do my homework. Very often I am openhearted, which puts me into great troubles. Oh, okay, and I will tell you that I’m Maggie.

“About Myself”

I’m Ann. I’m very calm. Everybody knows that. I want to be active, because everybody says that I’m very quiet. I think that I appear to be calm, but internally . . .
I like to listen to different types of music. Sometimes I like to work, but sometimes not. I like to rest, whether I’m tired or not.

“About Myself”

I'm Inna, 14 years old. I'm very quiet by nature, not outgoing, and it takes me a little while to befriend people. Yet, when it interests me I can befriend and find a common language with those my age because I understand them. My mother always tells me, "you're going to be a psychologist, because you know how to talk to people like a psychologist does, and understand them."
I am studious and stubborn. But I'm saying stubborn as a bad thing. I am easily offended; whoever I'm fighting against, they tell me just to "swallow it," for most things. I'm an impressionable person. Whomever I befriend, after a while of friendship, I begin to resemble them.
In my free time I like to write interesting and amusing stories that can be about me or my friends. I also spend my free time reading, listening to music, going on walks and hanging out with my girlfriends.

“About Myself”

So...I'm Kristig. I'm terribly forgetful; even now I don't remember what I wanted to say. Fine, that's not important. What's most important is my heart, which is always bothering me; with the smallest thing I get emotional. I like to dream. I’m a person of my word. That's not that bad because what I say always happens. If you want, you try it too, it's a good thing. You won't regret it. Again I forgot to mention I was born in the year of the dog, that seems to be the reason why I am a loyal friend, but also, blows from my friends hit me hard. Like a dog, I talk a lot. My astrological sign is the lion but I don’t know why, I don’t like dominating people. I like to watch football. For football players I like David Villa. I like “Valencia” simply because that’s where he plays football.

“An Episode from Maria\'s Life”

At the restaurant go right, then left and straight. On the left-hand side are two schools attached to one another with a common yard. Yes, and that second school is ours. It's a good one, no? Now look at the neighboring school and its condition—and then look at our school. Ours is pretty; it even has a water fountain inside. Yes, yes you heard right, we've got a water fountain inside our school. Right next to the water fountain we go upstairs and...
"Oh! The principal! You see! We're late to class! Now what do we do, Asya?" I asked nervously.
"Come on, let's very calmly pass by."
"Good."
We walked by carefully—
"Stop for a moment," came the voice of the principal.
"Why, hello, Ms. Vanesian."
Meet our principal, Silva Vanesian. She's a good person; we don't know why we're a little afraid of her.
"And why are you late?" she asked us in a stern voice. "But we're not late," Asya threw out at her with a smooth tongue.
"She's right, we've come an hour early," I added to get her out of her bind.
"So the rest of the students are an hour and a half early. Why are you late?" the principal retorted angrily.
"Look, Ms. Vanesian, according to my watch it's 8 o'clock," Asya said showing the principal her watch.
"What does it show? That you haven't adjusted it for the time change? The entire population of 488 students came at the right time but the pair of you came late."
"Fine, okay, we're very sorry, please let it slip," said Asya putting on an innocent face to persuade the principal.
"I'll let it go under one condition, if you can tell me when the city of Nor Hajn was founded, and when our school was founded."
"What?" muttered Asya.
"I'm listening…" said the principal in a serious tone.
"Nor Hajn was founded in 1959 and our school in 1960," I said.
"You're right, and you're lucky that you're clever. Now you're free."
It's a good thing I attended the class about the story of our city.

“About Myself”

My name is Mery and I am 12 years old. I am learning in the world's worst (in the teachers' opinions) and best (in my opinion) class. I like being social and I am optimistic (that is my good side). I am a little nervous (that is my bad side). From the outside, perhaps, I appear very smart; however I am not that smart. Also, I am silly--which to one person is a good thing and to another is bad. For 12 years now I've been noncommittal; I don't have any goals yet. At certain times I'll like two people very much, and other times I can't decide who I could care less about. To keep it short, I won't continue, so that you're not disappointed by me. It'll be better if you tell me about yourselves.

My favorite season is spring and my least favorites are autumn and winter. I like apples a lot and also peaches. I do not like clementines. I have many friends, and I like all of them; I love making new friends. It seems to me that I can find a common language with everyone and make friends with them.

“About Myself”

Before starting let me say that what I'm saying now, last year was so far from me, as far as Antarctica from Everest. When I’ve been described in the past the first things they'd say about me were that I'm a "quiet, introverted girl." But now I've started not to like that characterization. Now it's my job to break those habits of mine. Finally I'm starting to pay attention to everything and I'm realizing so many things. Before while walking on my street I would “wake up out of my sleep” only at those hours when there were strangers on the street, or whenever anyone called out to me. But now I'm paying so much attention to everything that it’s turned into the saying “like the spoon with no stem you always falls in.” But I think you always have to pay attention to the small things because very often in those small things are deeper meanings. I’ve learned that you should never approach anything distrustfully, and I try not to show whether I like someone or not because it brings about distrust and I’ve learned that bad things happen from distrust.
Besides that, in my life I have only one principle which is to try and see the good in even negative things.
