Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, I think this is a perfect
setting for my speech today, because we have a mirror right here. And this is the topic, the mirror and I.
I like to look into the mirror. When I was a little girl, I often stood
on my toes, trying to find my face in the mirror of the dressing table,
which was nearly as high as I was. NowI still like to look into the mirror. When I looked at it, I found the face of a young woman, glowing with

The fact I like to look into the mirror has to do with my granny, with whom I spent most of my childhood. I remember clearly that one night, I

wife, and mother, yet as a person, she remained little noticed. If she
had seen herself
in the
mirror

the dressing table,
she was never visible
in the mirror of society.
I have been living a different life. At home, I made decisions together
with
the
rest of
the
family;
in
school,
I take charge of various activities,
the
same as other boys and girls.
Not only that,
I
