Description

Tell about your childhood, school, family, etc.

My parents were elderly. We conducted poor living.  They died when I was 14. I had neither brothers nor sisters. I graduated from Pedagogic University majoring in music.

Where did you work? Was your work good? Were you happy with your job?

I totally worked for 52 years. First I worked at a shoe factory. Then I became a music school teacher. Then I worked with a choir of adults at the factory. Later when I got my Masters degree I worked at the music school and pedagogical college. The last 30 years of my career I worked and the Pedagogical University. At that time I was a part of the choir at the Central Orthodox Church. I was happy with my jobs. Work conditions were difficult, but I liked my students and we had good relationships.

Tell about your present life.

I am retired. I have a daughter of 49 who is in specialized sanatorium and a son of 51 – he is not married, unemployed. I have no other family. We live on my pension. I greatly appreciate your wonderful help and support. My husband died 15 years ago. My both eyes were recently operated on. My son also has poor vision. Prices are going up very rapidly. We conduct very modest living.

Have you accepted Christ? How long have you been following the Lord?

In my childhood my parents taught me faith. I love singing church hymns. I love church music.
