Initiation as a student is once in a lifetime, but will be remembered for a lifetime.The academic year has begun in college, several months have already passed. Yesterday I was still a schoolboy, today I am a student. Every fall, excited freshmen flood middle and high school schools. They, so different, are now united by one word - students. However, any freshman knows that he will become a student by accepting a “baptism of fire.” And on November 15, 1st year students of VKEiK underwent a “baptism of fire” on the stage of the college.Initiation as a student is a solemn event, so we prepared for it in advance and thoroughly. The organizers of the Student Parliament and college activists took care of the design of the event and created a festive atmosphere and set the student mood. In our college, this is traditional - a festive procession of 1st year students, parting words and the presentation of symbolic student cards, symbols symbolizing success in their studies and student life. The ceremonial part of the event went off with a bang. The audience supporting the speakers also created a good atmosphere. After all, not every spectator knows what it means to perform on stage for the first time! And the glorious tradition continued with a concert program, where there were songs, dances and jokes and a disco. VKEiK is an incredible place where promising and interesting acquaintances and friends appear, and new talents are discovered. It’s not for nothing that they say that student years are the “golden years” that every person will remember for the rest of their lives!
