All we need is love!

“You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep 
because reality is finally better than your dreams.”
― Dr. Seuss

A miracle happens when you find that special someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you have never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that may or may not come true, goals that will be achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurt or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security are in knowing that they are a part of your life. And this is Love! The most powerful feeling in the world, nothing can compare with it!

In continuing with what seems to be a remarkable and beautiful tradition as Christmas approaches, a poetry lounge event was organized for the 8th grade on the 17th of December, 2019. This event which celebrates love was seen by the students, parents, teachers and the administration of Golden Section join hands together to simply enjoy life and appreciate spoken words.
‘All we need is love’ was our theme for this year. At the beginning it was quite a challenge for many students to find the appropriate poem, learn it and translate. Most of the 8th graders were too shy to show and share their feelings with the audience but the results were really astonishing. All the reciters did their best while performing and won the spectators’ hearts.
The most memorable moment was a surprising performance by the English Department and Literature teacher Natalya Olegovna. At the end all students, who stood out not only in their performance but their determination to overcome challenges, were given gifts to remember this event for all their life. Bright faces, light hearted music, Christmas decorations, words cannot convey the atmosphere which set the tone for the day as earlier said about love, even after the event was over, the feel-good factor remains.
Here are a few things the students had to say about the event: 


Virineya Pavlova
I really liked the event. The poems my classmates wrote were beautiful and they recited them with enthusiasm and very artistically.
As for me, it was quite hard to learn the poem by heart because it was rather long.
On the plus side, I learnt how to write and present a poem before the audience.
Such poetry makes us think about what love is and how important it is in our life.
I know one thing for sure — Love helps us not to feel lonely and sad.

Alexandra Sargina

This was the event I enjoyed. The calm and cozy atmosphere and the people around me made this event special and memorable.
The toughest thing for me was calming myself down while presenting the poem.
One of the skills I developed was translating my poem into Russian, which I found really entertaining and useful. It was also a good public speaking practice.
Love is what makes other people do something important. It’s a feeling that makes people create something and teaches to be patient.

Lera Shelyag

I really enjoyed the Poetry Lounge. I got a chance to see how well my friends can perform and recite. The concept of the event is incredible and very interesting.
There was one problem — I could not stop being nervous because I was first to perform.
How does love help me? It helps me to be happy and free.

Nikolay Mikhaylov

I really liked the event because I enjoyed listening to the poems that my classmates and teachers prepared. The biggest problem was to learn 2 poems in English and in Russian. It’s hard to switch between languages. During preparation for the event I was training my voice, memory and brain. As for me love is happiness. When you love and you are loved back, you are the happiest person
in the world.

Artem Krayushkin

I liked the event as most students recited the poems very well and it was interesting to listen to their Russian versions.
It took me long to learn my poem with the right intonation but I managed it.
How does love help us in our life? When somebody loves you, it’s easier to live. It’s true.

Maria Tabatskaya

Love helps to forget bad moments in life. Love helps people to deal with problems. Life supports when you are in trouble. Love can make a person better. I liked the event, because I got experience in performing on stage. It was stressful, because the audience was too big for me.

Alexandr Kozhevnikov

Love helps us to find the person who can change you. Love teaches us to trust and understand, helps us not to feel lonely and become necessary for someone. I liked the event, because every year we get older and we must understand what love means. It was difficult, because I had to fight my fear of public speaking.
