The best graduates from the Smolensk schools received gold medals

This year 250 boys and girls graduated from the Smolensk school with honors. The most talented and motivated graduates with outstanding academic achievements were celebrated in the Regional Administration.

Deputy Governor Olga Vasilyeva greeted the graduates. Congratulating the honor students on their "gold" achievements, the Vice-Governor wished them good luck in their future endeavors of adult life and expressed hope that they would use acquired knowledge to improve their native Smolensk region and the Fatherland.

"Today, you get a significant award – an award for your hard work and patience. You, guys, live in a wonderful country, Russia side by side with wonderful people: the parents loving your, talented teachers. Your today’s success is the result not only of your hard work, but it is also the result of these people going along this way with you and putting in the soul and heart, - said Olga Vasilyeva. - So, no matter what the rest of your adult life is like, what thorny path you have to go, remember those who love you, care for you and are proud of you. Remember your school and teachers. Perhaps, some of you will become a great scientist, a great professional – so do come back to your school, talk about your success and achievements. Do not forget about your native land. "

The Deputy Governor praised the "golden" youth, who can be admired not only for their deep academic knowledge, but also for their character, for making a good start of the adulthood.

"If you continue to move forward with confidence, to learn all your life, without making breaks, then you are bound to come to the star that everyone has, and the name of which is " Faith, Hope, and Love"- summed up Olga Vasilyeva. The Gold Medals Award ceremony was also attended by the heads of districts, heads of education departments, school principals, parents and teachers.
