12:48 pm
i don't. know. what. it is. ok here's. why. to is struggling with a new language and doesn't understand much either so she tends to shy away from many of her classmates however she's always had a flair for learning and was always a high achiever. has already made friends with many of her teachers. training well done on the right one. normal are great so long going to see them go to different school that's because older children go to high school it's a different place if one starts out at seven in the morning and is due back here at

the t. shirt on and felt an affiliation with the school really like you are. you have the first day extension in. they're nearly as little. out there everything you think their friends. is that they can't just say they get off. course and as the first day but that is right because there is big the sat year to be an issue and. how was good i got a medal for selling it they give you a medal i got a medal for spelling english letters correctly i see them every single day and i say to them if it turned out to be the best again all i hear is and list praise i must say this could truly encourages them if you're a good boy artur you are simply super. genius that's what i always say to them but russian teachers back home would tell me that if my children thought they were the best or they would lose all motivation they wouldn't push themselves at all indeed
12:51 pm
i say to myself what's the point of pushing yourself if i have nothing as my children are not pushing themselves they'll have plenty of opportunity to do that when they grow up but my approach is different from that of my own parents i was under strong pressure to study study in nothing but study and as far as my children are concerned i don't have any ambitions if tomorrow they tell me they would like to be janitors honestly i'd be only too glad to hear it there is nothing wrong with that. let them do what they like to do i like to give my children a chance to see the world in all its glory. allow her children to lose heart she is ready to enjoy inconveniences for their sake because she wants them to enjoy this view from the window when they go to bed
12:52 pm

a hopeless situation an unplanned pregnancy the newborn. came at a most inconvenient moment. i was about to graduate from the academy with the prospect of a star studded career i had a lot of interesting offers. i am just doing that i could deal with the older children with the help of my husband and a nanny. but combining work and a newborn would be too much or she took the bull. to become pregnant though we were a twenty four i was still a young woman. i had considered an abortion. but thank goodness somehow i couldn't bring myself to do that. but life has shown that nothing is impossible. however i did lose one child at birth and
12:54 pm
thirty she was expecting twins the boy. but his twin sister did not. there is one thing that unsettles me their idea that my own children might fall ill . with a terrifying thought is that something might go wrong with one of them. bringing an end to the joys of life and turning it into a nightmare. european office needs to be up and running within a month but she hasn't yet found suitable premises then she'll need to furnish it and employ stuff in my travels to zurich several times a week. so actually we offer these three as three rooms. where it's just.
12:55 pm
yeah. we would like to employ russian speaking sui staff but it's very difficult to find such people i regularly interview candidates but most of them are rejected after we read their resumes it takes a three hour drive to get to the company's new offices in switzerland as italian home that was the businesswoman's conscious choice despite the inconvenience she made a decision a long time ago and now it's one that receives the full support of her family. her made her mind up about this place so i will years ago. she was traveling from switzerland to italy by train one bright sunny day or. when i passed by these beautiful legs she thought of being great to spend some time here. or there when
