Students are quite special people. Certainly, each student is first of all an individual, with his own point of view, vital position, and a sphere of interests and hobbies. And still there is something global, uniting all this motley, many-sided, diverse crowd. And it, perhaps, is not only the unity of purposes, common slogans or joint activities. Any group of people or a society layer possesses similar properties. There is something greater, a certain atmosphere, an invisible aura surrounding borders of possession of any high school. It tastes unlimited freedom which is combined by the most improbable way with abilities of students to self-organizing at the necessary moment. And all this reign is named by a universal word - students.
He who once has been in a student’s rank, knows all features of a student’s perception: simple things seem difficult, and difficult things seem simple; to subdue the world is quite easy, and to come to an examination after a mad night party is practically impossible; to put the teacher in his place by unexpected depth of knowledge is incomparably easier than to remember difference between an integral and a derivative; two weeks before an examination you have time to learn 5 % of a material, and during the last night - the rest 95%; the true knowledge you scoop from personal contacts, instead of lectures and seminars; and, at last, you understand, that we are together, we are a team, and if so, everything is in our grasp!
Students have real problems from yet not real life concerning understanding of themselves, their positions and principles. Yesterday's schoolboys, having a lot of common features and somehow resembling each other, leave walls of high school as quite developed and grown people. By the moment of diploma reception practically everyone has more or less arranged business and private life or at least future prospects. Having graduated from the University, students scatter as birds, but for many years recollect time of training with a sad smile, time which is impossible to repeat or return, but is, certainly, also impossible to take away.
