Why I deserve a scholarship I think that I can do that quite well now, but I would like to improve that while studying in LSE. One of my wishes is to work in an International organization such as UN because I believe only a global organ has enough power to improve the situation in the world. I believe that studying in LSE will provide me with such a chance because a number of students who graduated from LSE work already in UN, UN’s programs and a fund. In addition, the teaching in LSE is on a very high level as the faculty consists of the best professors from different parts of the world. I like the structure of the course because I can concentrate on the subjects that are particularly interesting for me. The International Relations degree includes the studies of International Organizations that is valuable for me. I also would like to study International Protection of Human Rights because it is an urgent question today. To sum up, LSE is everything that I could dream about and my hope is that it may become a reality. I think I deserve an LSE Scholarship because I have already overcome many difficulties, and I believe that I can overcome the financial difficulty as well. To study in LSE, I learnt English, passed different tests, changed the school to study on International Baccalaureate to be able to apply to the university in UK, completed many forms, and waited nervously for the decision. Finally, I was jumping for joy when I received an offer. However, my parents were much more pragmatic as they told me that to receive an offer from LSE was only a half way – I had to find the way how to cover all the expenses connected with the studying abroad. Unfortunately, the contribution that my parents can make is quite modest because the standards of living and salaries in Russia and UK are hardly to be compared. The financial crisis and a crucial change of a currency exchange rate contributed to a difficult financial situation. If I was to made an award, I would definitely spend the whole amount to cover the cost studying in LSE. I hope to cover to some extent my living expenses while working during the holidays and summer time. I want to concentrate only on my studies during term time because I think studying successfully and hard should be my main goal now. I think that a part of an scholarship may also go to help me to cover the cost of the dormitory.

How to get an education if you are a girl When I compare my position and other girls’ positions, I understand how lucky I am. I have never experienced any kind of inequality while studying and was always assessed according to my knowledge not my gender. Meanwhile, millions of girls are deprived from education in Asia and Africa for a number of reasons. Women have less rights in different domains, and inability to get an education is just one part of discrimination. If we compare educated and non-educated women, the former are less likely to marry against their will, die in childbirth and get HIV. Education and future life are mutually correlated. Educated women are much more independent: get marry and have children later, get higher wages, and send their children to school. Getting an education means a higher level of life for a woman. To resolve this problem we should use different approaches. Resources spent for education are usually limited in poor families, and parents mainly invest money in boys’ education. So, the government should provide special grants for girls to pay not only the school fee, but also to cover all additional costs such as textbooks, uniform, school trip. As many girls are often being used as free labor, and they have to get married under the age of 18 (family acquires money for the bride), education must become compulsory at primary and secondary levels for them. The number of separate schools must increase because girls experience time after time violence and sexual assaults from male peers. Proper sanitation facilities will be established in separate schools because their current lack humiliate girls. A bigger number of female teachers is necessary because they can translate their experience to younger girls. It is vital that these teachers come from the same environment, therefore; they can simultaneously teach school subjects in comfortable environment for girls and be positive models for them. One of the reasons why the governments don’t implement laws that will force to empower girls is a morality in developing countries. The role of propaganda in order to promote equality is significant. Special meetings should be organized to explain the benefits of girls’ education. The work should take place not only at government level, but at community level as well. Delegations must come to villages and speak to male and female members of commune to persuade them to send girls to school. Children should be taught in school about gender equality.

My special talent My special talent is that I immerse in something what I am doing so much that I don’t pay attention to the surroundings. One of the brightest example happened this summer when I attended College prep summer program in Georgetown University. It was the first day, we had a campus tour, my parents hadn’t left yet. We were walking, and I had a very nice and informative conversation with a girl from Abu Dhabi. I was so much interested that I didn’t notice a lantern post, and hit into it. I got some blood and a huge knob on my forehead. My counselors called Georgetown emergency, and then Georgetown students were loading me on a gurney while my Dad was filming me, and I was smiling. Finally, after I was taken to the hospital, everyone was happy: my issue wasn’t serious, the students from Medical School got some training, and my parents felt that I was in a safe place.

I lost 42 pounds part 2 Frankly speaking, physician’s prescription was not my only stimulant. I am tall enough to become a model, but I was too fat to enter this field as all the model agents told me. I was very curious to try something new that seemed so attractive and peculiar. I was frustrated that my weight put a spoke in my wheel. I didn’t give up to the difficulties and struggled to become fit enough to achieve my goal. Finally, I showed myself that if I desire something nothing could stop me. Nobody could believe that I could make such a progress. On 13th October 2016 I represented on the runway Slava Zaitsev’s collection (one of the most famous Russian designers) during Mercedes-Benz Moscow Fashion Week. I was happy not only because my dream has become a reality, but also because I learned how to manage my life. This experience gave me extra-confidence and a craving to overcome difficulties: there is nothing that can’t be achieved if you make an effort.

How I majored in unafraid I remember that I majored in unafraid when I had to learn how to perform on the stage. Now I enjoy delivering speeches and reading poetry in front of the big auditorium, but earlier the situation was completely different. When I was younger, it was quite complicated for me. Once I had a strong desire to perform at school poetry competition with my favorite ego-futurist poem “Three princesses” written by Igor Severyanin. I decided that I had to overcome this fear. I was almost trembling when I just had to read it in front of my classmates to practise. Then I had to perform it within the school level at the Festival of Art at the huge assembly hall of my school. To my surprise, I won and went to the district region in Moscow and to perform in front of the professional jury. This experience was also successful, and finally I was invited to participate in Moscow poetry competition that took place in Shchukin School – one of the most prestigious colleges of drama in Moscow. There I felt much more confident and relaxed: after a number of trainings, I wasn’t nervous anymore to perform at the public. I learnt from this experience that I should approach difficulties step by step, even the most challenging ones.

I lost 42 pounds I was like many teenagers: I didn’t care much about what I was eating, and I was a sweet tooth. Once the doctors told me that it was necessary for me to lose weight for health reasons. Firstly, I was shocked; I couldn’t imagine that I could survive without candies, cakes, and biscuits: they have always been like a drug for me. However, I took a decision to become slim enough so nobody could say that I am overweight. The next day I had tightened my belt and fully stopped eating all kind of pastries and sweets. I started swimming vigorously (about 1 mile a day), working out at the gym, continued dancing and doing martial arts. My parents were surprised with my new way of living because earlier they had tried vainly to influence me to stop eating sweets. I always refused to do this because I wasn’t convinced that it was a right thing for me. I must decide this myself not somebody (even my parents) could make such a choice for me. I have never failed to violate my diet because it was a definite decision. I got a clear understanding that when you take decisions yourself it means you are fully responsible of them, and this is the main reason to follow them. Overall, I lost 42 pounds and I still follow my diet. It’s better to say that it has become my way of life – healthy eating and sports. I even promoted that among my friends: my successful example helped them to abandon junk food and fizzy drinks. In addition, I developed cooking skills and now I prepare healthy treats such as chocolate cakes from almond flour or coconut pancakes for my family members who started to follow a gluten-free diet after my experience. I understood how great it is to be independent from the food when you don’t think about it like a friend companion. Now I eat in order to live, but not live in order to eat.

Position2 L'Afrique du Sud garanti d'avance l'achat complet des surplus du grain pour que les pays participant à ce projet aient une occasion reéle de produire suffisamment de grain. Cette stable production attira plus d'investissements qui à leur tour contribueront aussi au développement agricole et économique. Chacun des facteurs énuméré favorise la création de nouveaux emplois des habitants des pays et en géneral la croissance économique. L'Afrique du Sud a l'intérêt direct à une bonne récolte parce qu'on transforme tout le grain reçu au blé. Après la transformation on transmet la partie des vivres aux mêmes pays. En conclusion, la position de l'Afrique du Sud consiste en ce qu'il fait aider avec des actions appréciables à long therme.

Position Le droit fixé dans la Déclaration universelle des droits de l’homme proclame que chacun a le droit à la nourriture suffisante. Toutefois la situation actuelle est qu'il y a presque un millard de population mondiale souffrant de la malnutrition bien que notre planète soit capable de nourrir tous. Pour l'Afrique du Sud le problème de la sécurité mondiale joue un rôle principal dans la politique actuelle. On propose le développement intensif de l'agriculture des pays souffrants de la malnutrition comme un moyen actif dans la lutte contre la faim. En cas du progrès économique et industriel ces pays seront capables de les fournir eux-mêmes aux produits alimentaires et devenir des états forts et bien développés. Ce plan peut être réalisé concrètement avec l'aide et le support de l'Afrique du Sud. D'abord notre pays partagera gratuitement de nouveaux moyens dans la cultivation de la terre car souvent le problème principal consiste en manque de technologies.C’est très important d’utiliser le plus effectivement possible le sol et les ressources pour combattre la faim. Les champs ne sont pas utilisés de manière efficace et on ne récolte pas tout. En profitant des technologies modernes on peut éviter en particulier des sécheresses qui provoquent souvent la faim comme elles ne sont pas rares dans la région africaine. Nos agronomes feront des trajets aux pays en voie de développement pour calculer tous les plans nécessaires et les risques possibles dans le projet de la production du grain et enseigner la science agricole aux spécialistes du pays. Les spécialistes de l'Afrique du Sud partageront leur expérience dans le secteur d'agriculture dans les conditions spécialement africaines qui sont les plus proches à ces pays. L'expérience de l'Afrique du Sud a eu le succès dans ce domaine parce que seulement 15 pourcent du sol de notre pays est convient à l'agriculture, mais l'Afrique du Sud couvre lui-même ses besoins dans la nourriture et est un grand exportateur du blé. En même temps on enverra les jeunes pour qu'ils fassent leurs études supérieures au Sud d'Afrique dans le domaine agricole, ayant le but de revenir dans leur pays natals et réaliser les techniques apprises chez eux. Ayant une bonne formaton,ces jeunes spécialistes pourront enlever l'agriculture à un autre niveau.
