Story

By 1926, the courses were already a state institution with the name "Higher Courses of Foreign Languages", training was conducted at the Library of Foreign Literature. At that time, the flow of students was great - more than 1,000 translators for government organizations were educated annually.

The expansion of courses and their demand became objective reasons for the transformation of the educational structure into an institute, which happened in 1930. The new university included three language departments (German, French, English), where teaching was conducted in the translation and pedagogical areas of education.

In the 1930s, the faculty of distance learning and preparatory courses appeared at the institute. In 1935, the educational institution received the name of foreign languages ​​(MGPIYA). The full course of study of subjects was 4 years, teaching was carried out at the faculties of basic languages.

In 2011 it was also possible to choose Finnish and Hebrew. Forty departments of the university employ highly professional specialists, many of whom are the pride of Belarusian science.

Choice of profession

I graduated from the most ordinary secondary school No. 2 in a small provincial town called Dobrush (Gomel region of Belarus). At school, I studied very well (although I never reached the gold medal), all subjects were given to me with ease. She attended all kinds of circles (optional classes in German and Russian, mathematics, history, an acting class), sections, participated in various subject Olympiads (took first places in school and regional Olympiads in German), competitions, visited a literary conference in St. Petersburg , wrote poems and stories, in general, was an activist. But the decisive factor in choosing my future profession was the love for the German language, which was one of the school subjects. Moreover, I was very lucky with the German teacher: she was young, smart, fair and knew the language perfectly. Naturally, I wanted to become as successful as she was. It was the ideal that I so wanted to achieve. But I did not even suspect that the road to the dream would be so thorny.

Failed attempt at university

My goal was one of the most prestigious universities in Belarus - Minsk State Linguistic University (MSLU).

The passing score for the specialty "teacher of the German language" was 170. Applicants had to pass a centralized testing (CT) in history and the Russian / Belarusian language, as well as an interview in the discipline "German". I prepared long and hard, spending days and nights reading the necessary literature. However, the test result did not entirely please me: in the Belarusian language the score was very high - 92 out of 100, but with history I was unlucky - only 49. not enough). Seeing my last name below the line of applicants, I realized that all my dreams were destroyed. That's when I really regretted that I did not attend paid preparatory courses. Now I understand that I was still a child, naive, looked at everything with rose-colored glasses. Then there were tears, panic, a sense of injustice, depression ...

Studying in college (RGPK)

At this difficult moment for me, my favorite German teacher came to the rescue. She offered to submit documents for admission to the "Rechitsa State Pedagogical College", where I can get not only a good knowledge base of a foreign language, but also become a qualified teacher. My condition after the failure at MSLU was so broken that I don’t even remember how I applied to college. And two weeks later I received a letter in which I was informed that I was now a student of the above college.

The next blow for me was that the education at the RSPK was very different from the school one: new subjects, high requirements, strict teachers, smarter classmates - all this lowered my self-esteem even more. School was very hard for me. I am an ambitious and purposeful person. Thanks to these traits, I soon not only caught up with my girlfriends, but also became one of the strongest students in the stream. So three years passed. I successfully passed the state exams and received a diploma of secondary special education.

I must say, I was very lucky: I was hired by my native school. And, most interestingly, in the place of the same teacher who was and remained my ideal (she also became the director and my immediate supervisor, which means that there is something to strive for!).

Through thorns to the university

But I didn't give up on my dream. In the same year (2008) I decided to try once again to conquer MSLU. And again, the CT, the interview ... I don’t remember exactly what the passing score was, because. entered on other conditions (after graduating from college) immediately to the second year. I coped with the testing successfully, scored the required number of points, the interview went well (although it could have been better), but the competition was, if I'm not mistaken, 4 people per place and I still failed to enter the budget. However, now I had a job, I could pay for my education on my own, so I entered on a paid basis. So I became a student of the German language faculty of distance learning at the Minsk State Linguistic University. The payment was relatively small - from $ 120 to $ 170 per semester (increased every subsequent year).

At the very first session, I met new classmates. Everyone was so different, but the thing that united us was that everyone had graduated from college and was already a German teacher. My goal was not only to get a diploma, but also to improve my knowledge, to be a worthy representative of my profession. Although in our group there were those who just wanted to get a diploma with a higher education. Others acted according to the principle "everyone runs, and I run." Nevertheless, I very quickly got used to the new team, they listened to my opinion, just as I respected the opinion of others.

Difficulties of studying at MSLU

The study was not easy. I already worked at school, was a class teacher, taught electives, i.e. was very busy. Therefore, there was practically no time left to prepare for the sessions. I confess, I performed tasks at the very last moment, and sometimes right at the railway station. After all, from my hometown to the capital about 600 km. There was a certain difficulty in this, because. I had no relatives, no acquaintances in Minsk, I had to rent an apartment for the duration of the sessions (and this pleasure is not cheap).

I really liked studying at the university, although the requirements were very high and, at times, seemed simply impossible. The university is prestigious and the teachers are solid. The teaching staff was, one might say, stellar, according to the books they wrote, in fact, they teach German in schools, colleges, and universities. I had the opportunity to communicate with these amazing people. But not everything was so smooth. Among the teachers there were also those who created conflict situations, could humiliate or call them offensive words. Sometimes I just wanted to get up and leave the audience, go home and never go back there. Anything happened, but there were much more positive moments and it helped not to give up.

my life today

This year (2012) I graduated from the university! My goal has been achieved and, to be honest, I'm proud of myself. I am proud that I did not break after the failure, that I withstood ... I could. When most recently I was awarded a diploma, I was overwhelmed with feelings, I cried with happiness. In fact, it is hard work, but the result is worth it.

By the way, while studying at MSLU, I got married and gave birth to two wonderful babies! She gave birth to her first child when she was in the 4th year, the second - in the 5th year. And when you have a family, studying becomes even more difficult. The first time I had to take exams a week before the birth, and the second one was even worse: I passed the first state exam two weeks before the birth, and the second one after (I had to leave a newborn 2-week-old baby at home and leave our small town for capital). That is why the last two courses were the most difficult for me. But now it's all over. I have a family, a job I love, which I will start again after maternity leave… and I was able to fulfill my dream!

For those who are just going to enter the university, I advise you to never give up. Do not set yourself impossible tasks, decide on the choice of your future profession, where you want to go and get ready. From my own experience, I was convinced that even the deepest knowledge of the school curriculum cannot guarantee you admission to the university. You need to engage in self-education, focus on those subjects that will be useful to you. And if you get bored and want to quit everything, remember that our future depends only on ourselves. Good luck!
