Dear Sponsor,
This is 16-year-old Nikolay. I was born in Goris. My father was a mechanical engineer and my mom is an English teacher. I have a sister and a brother.
From my early childhood, my father instilled in me love for my country and my birthplace. He was my good friend, and he enjoyed taking us on trips to get acquainted with every little corner of Goris region. The cruel war took our most precious and beloved person from us. I miss my father and always remember our daily conversations and his priceless suggestions and advice.
I am in 11th grade now. My favorite occupations are drawing and music. I play guitar and piano, and I go to art classes, so that I can be admitted to an architectural college.
I would like very much to travel and to get to know different cultures.
Sincerely,
Nikolay
