Sweet greetings to Everyone! 

This is Smbat. I am a student at Monte Melkonian Military and Sports College. Next year, I will graduate from school and continue my education at Vazgen Sarkissian Military Academy. I love the military profession, and I want to become a good officer and a defender of my homeland. 

My days at the seminary are very interesting. I have many friends there and we all love coming 

to classes. We do lots of sports at the seminary as well, and we often participate in various 

competitions, which I like very much. 

During summer vacations, I come back home. I spend my summer vacations at home with my 

grandmother and brother. I love my grandmother so much! I help her with many of her chores. 

After graduating, I will do my military service and then will continue my military education to 

become a good person and officer. 

This summer was very hot, so I spent most of the time staying home reading books and 

watching TV. In the evenings, my brother and I went for walks. We also went to the church 

praying for peace to the world, so that we live under blue skies. I pray for your health and 

happiness. 

With warm wishes, 

Smbat
