Looking back to the first trimester

The first thing that goes into mind is that all of us are biting nails in anticipation of holidays. We have reached the point when our main concern is to step our efforts up and to go down that road until the very end. It is just a situation when the end justifies the means. Nevertheless it would be honest to say that we are definitely stressed out. Frankly speaking, sometimes I was inundated and didn`t manage to accomplish my tasks on time, and I wanted just to bury my head in the sand and to have a rest. So let`s just make a brief summary of our achievements during the first trimester to bounce back our moral.

As for me, I`ve put some goals to achieve in the beginning of my studying. I desired to improve my degree of spoken and written language, to learn how to organize my train of thoughts into an ordered story, to put my mistakes right and of course, to expand my vocabulary.

More or less, I sorted these problems out. Moreover, I have done it in a fruitful collaboration with my groupmates and our lecturer. The insight into having a common goal fostered our team spirit and motivated mutual help and support.

To summarize, the results of the first trimester are fulfilling. As for me, I have learnt a lot of useful collocations, proverbs, idioms. Out of sight, out of mind? It`s absolutely not about our Vocabulary lessons!

The 10^th Kingdom in a close proximity: fantasy or reality

When I was asked, why I had mounted this company, I answered: “Because sometimes it is necessary to tip the balance: to neglect lucrative business and to prioritize moral values. Our common goal is to joint fairytale with real life, we definitely go down that road!

We bail different magic creatures out and back them in their professional activity. At “The 10^th Kingdom” you may find any creature you want starting with Tooth Fairy and ending with different monsters free of charge. It`s sad but true that some time ago magic creatures had to shelter themselves in order to wriggle out of persecution. We broke this deadlock and sort the problem out in an easy way. We pool magic creatures and guarantee them the whole benefits package in return to work in our company. It is a place where they feel really at home. This has mutual benefits and gives people the insight into fragile and charming world as well as a feeling of contentment and safety to our wards.

Our company is non-commercial, we got no dividends, and our budget is replenished only by charity funds and subsidies. Despite this fact there are a lot of perks for our employees. They include:

-         Relocation allowance;

-         Performance-related bonus scheme;

-         Company pension scheme;

-         Entitlement to maternity/paternity leave;

-         Travelling expenses;

-         Comprehensive healthcare provision;

-         Subsidized canteen.

We value our wards, our managers, secretaries and receptionists. If you are interested in collaboration built on mutual trust and respect – our company is an ideal place for you!

The 20^th Birthday of Ostroh Academy

                On the 9^th of October Ostroh Academy celebrated an anniversary that was an outstanding event we had a great honor to participate in. As a matter of fact, academy decided to refuse from extensive celebration, but in any case it was exciting, everyone felt delighted and content due to special warm atmosphere and loads of different small events and activities.

         This year was made a strong accent on patriotic actions. Actions speak louder than words, so participants of flashmobe formed live map of Ukraine to say that our country is indivisible. Moreover, guests with students and rector planted in the academic park bushes in the form of our national emblem. Also people could write letters for soldiers to support and to thank them, to express their impatience. With the help of such actions students and lecturers tried to make clear their attitude to the recent situation in the country.

         The second part included traditional Fair proposing uncountable amount of entertainments. It included concert, Ukrainian cuisine, souvenirs and hand-made production, drawing portraits, auction of marks, competition for the best costume of bee and festive cake.

         There was commemoration of Ukrainian victims in the evening, where students were watching short videos about Euromaidan.

         As I was saying, the celebration was a classic example of the most meaningful and patriotic intentions. At any rate, it was a real effort to organize such an event and it means that hearts of students and lecturers are on fire and this fire spreads and lit a fire in the hearts of other people to be active and responsible citizens of our country, especially in such a difficult time.

Live Your Life To The Fullest

There are some moments in our life when you feel uneasy. You don`t manage to do something and you are gutted. You fight against circumstances and feel absolutely devastated. Sometimes you are so vulnerable that are going to be in tears because of any nonsense. And one of the most unpleasant cases is when you completely lose your temper, shout hysterically and offend people.

If you consult an expert, he will tell you, that it is harmful for our mental health to bottle bad emotions up, you should pour them out. But you have to remember, that the way we behave ourselves have an impact on people, who are around us. So it does no wonders for contagious qualities of bad mood: people absorb bad vibes we radiate. Try to remember: maybe, someone`s bad mood today was a by-product of your desperately unhappy facial expression, or unpleasant words?  Isn`t it better to share with jubilance or euphoria, for example?

That doesn`t mean that you have to suppress your feelings, just try to reduce stress. To be happy you just have to think, that you are happy. Look around you: isn`t this world amazing? We already have the most valuable things in this life and every situation has a good side too. We have only one chance, we live only once, so wear your heart on your sleeve, but be filled only with positive emotions.
