At the initiative of the Armenian First Lady Rita Sargsyan, the 20
winners of the republican composition competition and 138 pupils to
leave school in 2010 and due to receive medals for excellence got
together at the Presidential residence today.
"I greet you all. As you remember I announced three months ago that I
will personally shake hands with and will publicly thank all the teens
to demonstrate best qualities in any sphere. May 2010 be a year of
achievements and progress. You are facing a hard year - school-leaving
exams, entrance exams. May 2010 be the first year of your most serious
achievements. Excellent results are victories, your victories. To win,
one must overcome oneself first, one's doubts and diffidence. "I can!"
- this is how all victories begin. I wish you self-confidence, I
have confidence in you and I have all the basis for it," Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan told the pupils present at the reception.
President said, he was delighted to read their compositions and
highlighted patriotism, belief in tomorrow and the readiness to assume
responsibility - so vividly expressed in their works.
"I saw pride, fire and ability to dream in your compositions. This is
very significant. After reading the compositions, I am fully convinced
that you believe in yourselves and see the future confidently," S.
Sargsyan said.
"I wish you to enter the universities you want in 2010. No matter what
profession you will choose, I wish you to become good specialists for
our country. I am sure, so it will be," the First Lady Rita Sargsyan
said. She voiced hope the event will become traditional.
The President gave "Narek" by Grigor Narekatsi to all the pupils. "Let
Narek be always with you," President said. S. Sargsyan also said he
commissioned the Education and Science Minister to publish all 20 works
so that everyone can get acquainted with these and everyone can say:
"Who, if not me?"
This is the topic of the composition competition held early December.
The pupils also received cell phones from Orange Armenia.
