About Myself (Dasha)
|
|
My name is Dasha. I’m a student.I’m a multiple personality. I have a lot of hobbies. I can’t imagine my life without creativity. Some years ago I was fond of swimming. I visited a swimming pool with my best friend three times a week. But unfortunately I got cold and had problems with health, so my Mum didn’t allow me to go to a swimmimg pool in winter. So swimmimg didn’t become a part of my life, just a hobby, just a good pastime.
All my friends say that I’m a creative person. I like poems, I have some poems written in English. But now I prefer prose. When I was a little girl I wanted to become a manager. My room is full of different books and magazines. Recently I have found that I like painting. I’m not a Picasso but I can draw something. I can’t live without art. Art is in my heart. I also like photography. I like to photo naure and other people.
But most of all I like travelling. I am fond of various countries and people. I was not in many countries of the world but I saw enough traditions which are differet from ours. Travelling helps you to be a part of a big village called world.
So many hobbies! What can you do with all this? I can say: “You should develop yourself”. It is so boring just to study, study, study. For me it is a nonesense. I’d like to repeat that your hobbies develop your personality.
Now some words about me in general. I live in Ukraine. I like my county and people living in it. I study at colledge. I have a lot of friends. We like to organize parties, especially pijamas parties. We usually go to the cinema, theatre. My friends understand me as they are also very creative. So maybe in future we will make our own film.
So, this is my little world, my chocolate world. I’m crazy about sweets. So if you want to please me, buy me a bar of chocolate.
