School memories

Today I accidentally came across two things. I found an article in a newspaper about a chart of the top high schools in Sofia. The chart of the newspaper had put the National Trade and Banking High School (NTBG) on 15th place of desire by candidates for high school. But, in fact, it appeared to be on the 2nd place. I felt so proud of the high school I graduated 3 years ago... This proved my opinion - schools like NTBG which provide students with professional education and, moreover, with practical skills, get more and more attractive... Nowadays it turns out that the knowledge and practice you've gained there are comparatively more valuable than the university education.

The second thing that happened was the discovery of the new (finally!) website of NTBG:

where I found this photo up there. With my classmates and me in 2001... I saw more photos from fairs I've participated in, including the one at the 90th anniversary of NTBG.

I remember how passionate we were that day - in 2001. Preparing our corner, putting the big poster on the wall (it can be seen on the photo - in the background). Wow, we paid 40 leva for this one :-D Well, Profitbank was the best one...as usual...and we didn;t get the prize...again. But it's another not so nice and much longer topic...

I remember Stasi (the girl next to me) trying to fix it on the window and shouting to the boys to come and help her...well, they didn't - as usual.

Wow, I've got so many good memories from this school. No matter how hard sometimes it was, and no matter how disappointed I was from some things which were happening there, now I feel PROUD that I graduated the National Trade and Banking High School. Professional high school education - that's the future, like it or not. And I'm happy that I spent 5 unforgettable years being one of the beginners in what is now a tradition at this school - the training entities. Thank you, NTBG. I hope one day someone would organize a gathering of all students graduated the school, and they would take care of us...like alumni...And then it will be finally proved how empowering this school is. I wish you all the best, NTBG. I hope you get much better than the level you're standing at right now... Thank you!
