I am a student of technology and consumer service department

I am (name, surname). So, I am a student now. I’m a first-year student of the day-time department. I’ve entered Kherson State University after finishing a secondary school. You know, that was my dream to enter this University.

I worked hard to pass my examinations well. And now I’ve become a happy member of the great, young family of students.

Many new things and notions came into my life with it. At first, I didn’t know what they meant. Now I became familiar with such words as “a freshman”, “a sophomore”, “an undergraduate” and such terms as “a period”, “a seminar”, “labworks”. I know what it means “to make notes”, “to pass modules”, etc.

I’m still to know more, and first of all how to save time to be able to not only study well, but to take an active part in the students’ life, to join some students’ scientific society and to sing in our University choir, to become a member of our University famous football team and to visit interesting students’ evening-parties.

I’m fond of everything at my University. I like its great beautiful building, sport complex, its lecture halls, laboratories, studies.

I’m a freshman, as they call the first-year students. It’ll take time to know everything about our University.
