Imagine yourself being an actress. Tell about your feelings before the opening night of the performance where you play the title role

I’m from small town in Macedonia, Gostivar, where the possibilities for great and big success are very small. I’ve been always the ambitious girl with big dreams, and small chances. My life was very simple, like the rest of the people in Gostivar. My primary and secondary school were also in my town, so I’ve never been like on my own in other big town. But, when I finished high school, I decided to go in other, bigger town, to study what I want, and that was acting. I went to Skopje; I started to go on university. And then, I realized how hard is to be in big town, without my family, my friends, and to live by myself. I was working in the cafeteria in my university, so I could be close to the university and my job. At the beginning, it was very hard, but in time I get used to it, and I was doing well. Every day in the cafeteria were coming different people, some of them were students, professors, but also almost every month were coming directors, who were looking for young talented actors, for their big performances. One day, I was serving one very famous director, talking to my professor what he was looking in the actress, what she was supposed to be for his title role. I heard that, and I jumped into the conversation, very hopefully that I could get a chance, and proved them that I’m the girl that they’ve been looking for. I get the chance to go on audition the next day. I was practising all night so I could be ready on the audition. I was very nervous, and I was very happy at the same time, because I was sure that I’ll get that role, I’ll be the star of the show, I was so close to my dream, that I was ready to catch it and never let it go. The next day was in front of me. My future depends on that day. I went 30 min before the audition, I was so confident in myself; I just knew I’ll be great. At the audition I was so sure, and secure in my acting skills. I did and give the best of me. The director loved it. And that’s how I get my big title role. The performance was after 3 months.

Imagine yourself being an actress. Tell about your feelings before the opening night of the performance where you play the title role

Tomorrow is my big night! It could be the night that will define the rest of my life. How to fall asleep when I am so excited?! I think I am ready, I feel ready! I worked hard, it is a good movie. I expect good reviews! The theme is such, so it could be easily related to the auditorium (the common people). So that field is covered. I got myself the perfect dress and the perfect shoes. I’m going to look beautiful; I will shine as bright as the stars in the sky. I am a star! The shiniest star in all Hollywood! People will turn their heads towards me when I will walk by them! I will shine gracefully and answer the reports questions. Everyone will want to take my picture! All the lights and looks will be concentrating on me. I must look fabulous! There is no place for mistakes.But wait! What if something goes wrong? What if I stumble on my way and fall on the ground? Everyone will laugh at me! Imagine the headlines in the magazines with the pictures of my fall in front. And what if I don’t get good reviews?! It will be a disaster! My life will be ruined, it will be all over! That’s it! I am not going! I can’t face all those people, I can’t be humiliated!No, no! I mustn’t have these thoughts. I must think positive. Everything is going to be great! It will be more than great! It will be perfect! I should get my beauty and sleep now, and tomorrow night is my night! The night that will change my life forever and I will do my best to make THE impression!

Where do you see yourself, carrier wise, 10 years from now?I'm 18 years old and 4th year student in the local economics high school in Gostivar. For about 5-6 months I will finish with the studies and I'll graduate. So, there isn't a long time for thinking: what my future profession will be?As the days are passing I keep thinking, can't say that I'm not worried, because I'll have to decide and make wove that my future depends of.I think that the most important thing is choosing your profession by yourself. So whatever I choose it will because I like that because of my own wishes, not forced by my parents or the surrounding.For now my plans are connected with economics, I guess management because I really enjoy learning the subject; it's interesting and keeps me motivated to learn and improve in that area.I am convinced that I wouldn't have any particular problems during my future education, because of my ambition and the fact that I don't give up from things easily... As my friends want to call me... fighter!Well after I finish university I'll try to get a good job and develop my carrier.That is 4 years from now, but 10?...It's long time in front. I haven't thought lot about... But sure I like to get married and have a lot of children. I'd like to have a big house and big yard with toys for the kids...I have always wanted homes filed with harmony and love between the families...My life motto is - future belongs to those who be live in their dreams... But the most important thing is to concentrate on the present, because the present brings results in the future... 10 years from now I see myself wiser and filed with experiences. I don't expect that everything is going to turn out just like the way I planed... I'm aware that there are wins but also defeats...They are the one helping us finding the hope and strength we need to go on with our lives.If there aren't defeats, don't exist people- we are not going to be able to find the force that lies in us, to find and realize the real human values and respect the things we have, the things we've done......My future depends of me and only me and I'll try no matter how curved the path is, to continue walking until I reach my vision aim.

Of everything in the world what would you like to be doing right now?Where would you like to be the most?Who would you prefer to be with at this moment?

I live in some not very known country in the world, Gostivar Macedonia,. At this time, my life is quite busy, and full of responsibilities to school, to the state graduation, to my home, to everything. My time is so full and at a time I am so mad that I don’t have free time for myself, and for my closest people. My day just passes by me, I don’t feel the time, and it’s just runs away. I just want to be at some quiet, peaceful, beautiful place, where I can just enjoy myself. If I could choose some place to be right now I want to be at Desert Island, where I would do nothing at all. I would like to have some little house, with food and bed, nothing else. I would like at that island always to be night. I just want to feel the peace and the quite around me. I don’t want to hear the noise of the cars, of the crowed, the ring bell of the school, and the ring tone of my cell phone. I would want to be alone with no one else. I feel like I need that time alone. I want to settle my thoughts, to get some quality time to sleep, and to arrange my spirit, so I could bring my body and mind to right order. But, also, I would like to see Simona just for an hour or two in one week, or maybe I’ll pass her also. I am sure that I could survive at that island. But the reality

is completely opposite of my wishes. My world is to be in this town, with my family, my friends, at school. I must continue with my life, and I have to be grateful of what I have, and to take it positive, because it’s not so bad like it seems. Now, at this moment, I would spend the rest of my life at that desert island, but I would think twice if I could just abandon my closest which I love them and care about them a lot, like they love me and care about me.

What are your dreams of the future? Now looking back at everything you have done what would you change?

While enjoying in the benefits that life offers to us, we are not conscious that time is passing by and in one moment we are already grown up, and a lot of commitments are now our responsibility. When I think about the future, there are some mixed emotions who rule whit me. I feel a little scared because I know that I am now eighteen years old and my responsibility is to make some important decisions about my future. One of them is the decision of continuing with my education after finishing high school. But in order to achieve that goal the most important issue that I have to solve in near future is to get higher grades from the ones that I have now. Another thing that is very important is improving my behavior, and be more gentle with my friends, my family and my teachers. In couple of years I see myself in some foreign country, working as a teacher, and teaching sports education. While working and after finishing my professional career I would like to travel in a lot of countries and learn more about different types of cultures. I would also like to go to undeveloped countries and give help to lots of people who are hungry and who do not have enough fund to take care about themselves and about their families. Especially, I want to help them to improve their knowledge and education. I want to visit lots of developed countries from which I can learn very useful things related to better living, getting higher level of knowledge about what is good behavior and improving social skills, and after that to transmit that knowledge to the people in my country. On the other hand when I am thinking about my past, I feel very good because I had spent very interesting childhood with the people who are still my best friends. Everything that I have experienced in my life until this moment is a good lesson for tomorrow. But steel, there are some things that I regret about, and I am grateful that they are not very serious mistakes, but only small errors that I won’t repeat again. I have laid my parents sometimes, and I have been drunken couple of times, but the good thing is that I am conscious about that mistakes. I really hope that my dreams will become reality, and I would contribute for my country and my people. What are the most important extracurricular or community activities?What made you join these activities?

We live in age of technology. Every day, new technology appears, ranging from mini CD’s contain entire encyclopedias to giant space telescopes that can send photographs of distant stars back to Earth.Of all the new technological and communication extracurricular wonders, personal computers have probably had the great influence on the daily lives of average people. Through computers, we can now talk to people in any country, research and topic, work, shop, bank, and entertain ourselves. Personal computers have especially revolutionized communication and business practices in the past twenty years. My personal important opinion of personal computers is that they can expand my ability to communicate with the outside world, but also they make me

more learned of some important issues. I always want to know everything for something or someone and there is always someone who knows everything and gives me the correct information for me. Working, chatting, searching on a computer is my biggest extracurricular activity and I think that is happening with all people all around the world. I have friends from all around the world; we can get together in an on-line ‘’ chat room ‘’ to discuss our problems and interests with others who have similar interests and problems. For example, a person who is planning a vacation and wants to know the names of the best beaches in Hawai can ask others who have already been there for suggestions. The possibilities of computerized communication are indeed unlimited.In brief, the computer age has arrived, and it is changing our lives. Computers have made communicating and doing business faster and more convenient, and they have greatly increased our access to information. That is way my extracurricular activity always will be personal computer.

HOW WOULD YOUR FRIENDS CHARACTERIZE YOU? LOOK AT YOURSELF FROM THE SIDE OF OTHER PEOPLE AND ANALYZE YOUR CHARACTER IN SUCH WAY? What is the meaning of the friendship? We have often search answers to this question, but we have never come up with an adequate answer. This is because this relationship is an amalgamation on beautiful and complex feelings, which may not often be described in words. Being friends means being there for each other at all times, whether it's good or bad. A friend needs to be very understanding and give each other the benefit of the doubt. Ideally the meaning of friendship is sharing unconditional love for each other. Searching for the meaning of friendship has always been a burning question. However as soon as we meet our friends all these questions get answered automatically. The answer to what is the meaning of friendship lies within our hearts, because true friendship can only be felt, and not expressed. Something so pure and essential is not always visible to the eye, but is felt by the heart.

Like everyone and I have friends with whom I have fun. I have a lot of friends but one of them is my best friends. With my best friend I spend a great time. We talk for everything and everybody. Of all conversations with my friends for me, my friends say that I am a straightforward person, a person who likes to have fun, a person to whom friends go when they have problems. My friends know me as a peaceful and calm person. Sometimes I do something weird and I'm always with a smile on my face. For me they can say that I am a realistic person who likes to intrude in everything. I like to know everything. In many cases I am very shy but with a time I relax. When I am angry to somebody or something I can be very bad. I say those bad words. I look at friends critically and I calm down when they apologize if they are wrong. However, if I have done something wrong I immediately apologize to them. My friends often tell me that I'm very headstrong. They say that I can't lie, that I'm very understanding and emotional person. When somebody tells me something with shouting, I start to cry. I must do something about this. I understand people when they can't do anything for me or for themselves if they have good reasons for that. When somebody makes me nervous I show that. I like to help everyone. It’s natural to help one another, but I think that I worry too much for others. I would like everyone to be OK, not to miss anything. This is impossible because in the life something is always missing. This is my perfection and one of my friends told me this, that I worry too much for others but I can't help myself. This is me from the side of my friends and side of me and I know that with all my good and bad sides, my friends love me for who I am and they will always be my friends.

When our health is good, then everything is on right place. Career for me is also important. With good career you get high standard of living. If I Look back of everything that I’ve done, I wouldn’t change anything, I don’t regret for anything that I done, because I never do mistakes, that I have to regret. I always think twice spear I decade for something. So I don’t want to change anything, because if I ever change something. I wouldn’t be what I now. But my dreams are flows now for my career want to be successful women with my own company , to have my own place to life , I want to have normal live , of course I want to have own family, husband, children. My own house to be not very material I want for myself normal stuff. My plan for the future are not forever because changes happened day by day, so my plans and dreams change … so I can’t plan all my future because for minute life can change

What do you see yourself, career wise, 10 years from now?

Now I will write an essay about my future plans, about my interests, and career wise. Today I am seventeen years old student in secondary economic school in Gostivar. I learn in economic school, because I want to become a businessman like my father. My father has a business for accounting and construction, which is named HINAKOM. If my plans achieve in the future I will be the owner of the enterprises. Upon completion of secondary economic school, I plan to enter college in Skopje at the European University - Republic of Macedonia to study banking and financial management and I hope that I will end university education. After higher education I will begin to assist my father in business and acquire his working knowledge and ability. When I achieve that I can begin work without the fathers help, I'll say to my father to leave me to work and to go into retirement and to observe me from side. I hope that this will gladly accept and that will let me continue to perpetuate the management company. When the company becomes mine and when I start working (without fathers help), first that I do will be the remake old office with modern technology, without cables and lots of modern details, but the office will be in the same place, because most customers know the current location of the company. I plan to continue with business, which my father started, because that is what my father wants from me. My plans for the future of my company are to expand the business boundary, first on the territory of the Republic of Macedonia with the opening of offices in many cities of our small country, then expand business with the opening of offices outside the territory of our small countries in the developed countries as well as in the Asian state. However these are only my plans for the future, sometimes the planned realize but sometimes not, but I hope that some of my plans will become a reality. Now I can imagine myself just like that, like a manager in my father company, but something maybe will be different because world spinning around and we never know what future bring for us.

I wish that my future would be like I imagine!!

What was the most difficult time in your life? How did you overcome these difficulties?How did your perspective on life change as a result of the difficulty?

I used to have difficult times in my life, but the most difficult was, when my brother was going to Shtip to the university. It felt so hard to me… I didn’t know how to react on that! I didn’t cry, but I was really sad, because I had use to him. I lived my entire life whit him and when you get use to someone or something, it is very hard to let it go! Without him my room looks so empty and I just can’t sleep there alone, I sleep in the kitchen, or in my parent’s room. When he coming home, it is like a holyday in our house! I sleep peacefully and everything it is just great!When the difficult times come to my life, I just want to call my friends and look for some advice, but I know deep in my heart that nobody can’t help, me except myself! They just can say to me that everything is going to be all right, but with that they won’t resolute my problems! I’m grateful to them and I’m ready to feedback to them the same way! We all have difficult moments in our lives, but it is important to know how to resolute the problems on themselves and I had learn how to do that!

Where do you see your career wise 10 years from now?

In the future, I see myself as a person that works in a bank. My wish for the future is to be part of a good successful bank, a bank that is highly respected in the country. Since I am student at the economical high school in Gostivar, I would like to continue my studies in the same field and I hope that I will work according to my education too. The job in a bank is very attractive to me, a workplace where I can show my qualities and my values. First of all, as I already mentioned, I would like to continue my education in a good university. I would like to study economics at one of our universities and to graduate as a good economist with very good knowledge which I would get from the university. A good knowledge that I would like to get will help me to achieve my gold and to become a member of one of the banks in our country.After graduating and finishing my studies, I hope that my career an economist will start. Working in a bank is my wish and my plan. That job is my favourite one because of several reasons. First of all, that job is the job of my dreams. I like to work with money and with people. Since I am very communicative person, that job will be excellent chance for me, a job where I can show what I can and what I know. As a second reason is my professional orientation. I am student at economical high school now and I hope that I will be student at economical faculty. With this educational background, I have chosen to be an economist as my professional orientation. Employee in a bank is a good example of this profession. Working with money, providing services to the people and working in an office is the short depiction of the job that makes it typical economical job. In short that is a small depiction and vision of my future and career. That are my plans and wishes that I would like to achieve and I hope that they will be realized. Working in a bank would really make me a happy person and person with successful professional life.

WHAT ARE YOUR LONG TERM CAREER GOALS?Having a successful career is one of the most important things for lots of people. Working hard and achieving the top of the career is the dream of many young people in the world. Just like every young person, I’m now thinking for my future, for my education and how it will influence my career.Now I’m fourth year at the secondary economic school “Gostivar” in Gostivar. I choose to study here because one day I would like to be a great economist or maybe a manager of a big company. That was my dream from always.Because I’m finishing with my secondary school, I have a doubt where to continue my studies. I know that I’m going to study economy but I still don’t know where, whether on private university or state university. Continuing the studies on private university brings me more possibilities for better education and founding a better job here or abroad. But I’m still thinking about that. After finishing my studies I’m planning to continue upgrading my knowledge and take master studies. I’m hoping that those studies will help me for my better future and that thanks to them I will have more possibilities for better job.When I’m going to finish my studies and have master degree, I will then start to look for a job, first in my country where I’m planning to contribute for better economy and better conditions for living for my nation. If my plans come true I will continue to looking for job outside the borders of my country. The only reason for doing this is because the world has many new things and techniques which can be useful for improving the economy in my country.I have many plans and dreams for better future that I hope one day will come true.

What is your approach to life? Reveal your life philosophyI started to ask myself now more often than ever, more complicated questions than the

way they were before …when I was little…Judging by my thoughts I feel like I’m getting wiser, starting to realize the world and the magic of the miracle we call life. The main question that bothered and is still bothering my conscience…What leads our lives ahead? Are we controlling the thing that controls us? Or maybe there isn’t anything above us… Are we absolute masters of ourselves and producers of all our situations, can we be the one and only responsible for our success and our failures??Yes…I think we are, we absolutely are…we are the driver of the ship through the dreamy ocean, sometimes waved, sometimes icy…But the most important thing – to never let the wheel turn the wrong direction…or if we are brave enough let’s just try and take a risk. Maybe it will be worth! Sometimes people learn confronting with the wrong paths. They are their lesson and experience more in their long voyage. “Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.” “Do not fear risk . All exploration, all growth is calculated. Without challenge people cannot reach their higher selves. Only if we are willing to walk over the edge, we can become winners.” …But yes, there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. I guess that no one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams, than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for.The voyage depends on you and the way you are going to live it…“When you feel that the world has turn the back on you, just look around and see how happy you are”, able to feel the present, breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, feel flowers at your feet, enjoy the nature, watch the stars at the dark sky late at night…hear the sound of the animals, surround by the people you love… I think that we often forget that little things that make us happy and concentrate only on the big one. Then concentrating only on the material world, we forget to appreciate what we have and fell the blindness despite our openness…We can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one; each day brings a miracle of its own. It's just a matter of paying attention to this miracle.

Live your dreams follow your ideas and intuition without fear of being rejected. Respect yourself, Be yourself not what the others want to see in you, feel proud every time you deserve to. Try to respect the others and their opinions even if you don’t agree, and help them because you don’t know when you will ask for them to help you… Spread love, be positive and be the one who can bright up someone’s day, even if you can’t brighten your own… Whatever it is sure it’s going to pass… “Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow”

When you leave school you understand that the time to choose your future profession, your future life has become. It's not an easy to make the right choice of a job. I have known for long time that leaving school is the beginning of my independent life. What do I want to be when I leave school? It's very important question for me. A few years ago it was difficult for me to give a definite answer. As the years passed I changed my mind a lot of times about what science or field of industry to specialize in. It's difficult to make up my mind and choose one of the hundreds jobs to which I might be better suited. A couple of years ago I wanted to become a doctor, you know I wanted to help people who had problems with health. Then I wanted to become a teacher, then an economist. But all of them now are in the past; they were like children's dreams and nothing more. Now I have already decided what to do. I'd like to be a hairdresser. That is not very difficult job but you have to be physically prepared because you should stand on your feet all day. I like this job because it is really creative and you meet all kind of people all the time so after I graduated I am planning to take some courses and after I'm done with them and after get some experience I hope I’ll open my own hair salon.

Ten years from nowEvery intelligent person who studies a lot and works normally will have better future. I am like these people. I think that in the future I will be a rich man, because I work and study at the same time and I don’t have free time for other things like my peer group. I work in a fish restaurant “PANORAMA” in my village. I work for weekend. From this work I learn many things, and I love my job for three reasons. First, because I learn how to speak with people in a culture way and this will help me in my life, second, I meet many people from other culture and country, third for money, but the money for me is not very important, like other two things .I am very proud to myself because I now After 10 years I see myself like a rich man who work in company which is very famous. In this company I will be marketing sector manager, because I like to study in economic university. This is my dream but probably it can be true if I care for my future and study too much.

What are your dreams of the future? Now looking back at everything you have done what would you change? Now a days it Is very important for a person to have dreams for the future that one day he will reveal and will make them true. All of us have different dreams for what we want to be, what our future will look like and we imagine us in that future, but what is sometimes disappointing for all the dreams that we have is that they don’t always come true. My dreams for the future are, to finish my education in finance and management in Skopje with positive outcome and work in an important bank or in any other place that will be needed my favors, but that will be well paid and where my work will be respected and recognized as valuable, in our country or maybe in another economically stronger country, that is one of the

things that come in first plan in my life because getting good job today is very important for the further plans that all the people in the world, including me have. Next comes the family and good place to live, nice house and to be able to achieve to give my family the life they disserve. Looking back in what I have done before in taking in consideration that I haven't done many things in my life regarding profession, I wouldn't change anything that I did and I don't regret for my actions in the past, and what I won’t is my life to be as good as it is until now and way better in the future.

My future and changes I want to make I am 18 years old boy and like many other people I have dreams. I like to play football and also to watch football on TV,I like to be with my friends and to play computer games. My plans for the future are: I like to be very successful businessman, I like to have world famous company, my personal driver, bodyguards to keep me and mu family also. I like to be healthy for all my life because the children and health are the biggest fortune for every person. But my unfulfilled dream Is that one day I will be present on the stadium "OLD TRAFORRD" the stadium of my favorite football club. Also I like to travel around the world because I like to visit touristic places and to spend money because I am that kind of man. I like to travel with plane. I just hope that some of my dreams will become true one day. Also I like to have many children.When I look back in my past I would like to change some things. First I would like to change my connection with my grandfather. Before he died I told him something bad. That day I was very nervous and he told me something and I say to him:"From today I am not your grand nephew I don't like to talk with you anymore”. He accepts that very hard and he started to cry. That moment will be in my heart for all my life. I would like to change that. I like to change also one situation in my life. I was little boy and my father didn't want to buy me something that I like and I told him "stupid”. At that moment my father took me home and he started to talk with me that the parents must respect. From that moment I respect my parents a lot. Now I am embarrassed for that word, but for everything exist first time. I will tell to my children the same thing that the parents must respect. I just hope that I will be good husband and good father.

HAVE YOU EVER FALLEN IN LOVE FROM THE FIRST SIGHT? TELL ABOUT THE FIRST TIME YOU HAVE MET THIS PERSON. WHAT DID YOU FELL AT THE MOMENT? Love...a word that in itself contains sincerely words, intensity, secrets... and a lot of beautiful things that we keep deep in our hearts. Love is like a butterfly that flies near us every time when we feel it, it is like a bird that sing the most interesting song that we hear, it is like a stone that never cannot be crushed if it is strong, it is like a rain that comes after the sun, it is like a rainbow that has all colors on it, it is the biggest treasure that we can ever posses, it is ocean of tears, it is sky that don't has end, it is a flower that blooms in spring. We fell very happy when we love somebody, and when that somebody love us. Love is something that we cannot explain but we feel it. There is difference between love and sympathy. We can see somebody and we think that we love him/her, even we see that person just one, two times. But we cannot be sure is it love or we only imagine. We look answer on this question almost every time when we feel some unknown feeling, id we fall in love? What names love on first sight? By my opinion love on first sight does exist, because I feel is for one boy. He had the most beautiful blue eyes, like a sea, the most beautiful lips, like a red apple. I wanted the meet him,

but I feel shame to ask him something, only I watch at his beauty. All night I dreamed that eyes. The day after that, I saw him again. Suddenly when he walked, he said me: ''Hello! Can I ask you something?'' I said: '' Of course you can!'' He asked: ''Do you know me from somewhere?'', and he said me his name. I said my name also and on that way we meet each other. At that moment I feel that. I fly, and I heard some beautiful melody in my ears. From all this I came to one conclusion, love on first sight does exist, and we can feel it when we don't expect. Love is something unusual, and we can meet it in every step. It exists around us, and every moment we can find it. Only we are its creators, if we live in it, it will never disappear it will last forever.

To be stewardess you need to go to course that lasts one year and it takes place in Belgrade. I have opportunity to be stewardess because I like to travel a lot and visit many places in the world, and meet new persons from different sides of the world and from different cultures. I’m also good in languages. I know English, Macedonian, French, Italian, Spanish, Serbian and this is good for communicating with another people.This is my wish from when I was little and now I have a chance to make my dreams come true. This profession is very hard, because it takes in the high on the airplane and takes a lot of time, because you are always on the plane. And because of this not everyone can do this job. The science and technique are always going forward and because of that we are evidence every days accidents, that takes the life’s of all cruel and passengers and possibility’s for surviving this accident’s is very small. But beside this, my wish to work as a stewardess is bigger that all of this warnings.For me stewardess represents a woman who is always good looking, smart, and successful in all areas. And I think that I can be this kind of woman.

Who was the most influential person in your life? How did this person make you want to become better?

I have no doubts when someone will ask me who the most influential person in my life is. I’ll firmly say that that person is nobody but our biggest star Toshe. He was a person that was proud of whom he is. He was a poor child born in small town Krushevo. Many stars and famous people with their fame forgot who they were. But he was different than any of them. He had the biggest fame that anyone did before he became popular.

He was a man that never forgot his real he. A man that never underestimates discriminates or hates someone. He is a person with pure heart and soul ready at anytime to share his big love with everybody. A human man that would gave his last energy in order to help to somebody, in order to raise money to help the poor and sick people. An earth angel still wouldn’t be the perfect word to describe him because he was always helping people and everything he did was for them. He was even the ambassador for UNICEF and wrote a song “This world” in which he sang that everyone’s the same and that we should all help each other in this life because that’s all we have.Unluckily he was too good to be true, God wants the angels with him in heaven and he took his life too early, on his 26 years. We couldn’t enjoy too much in having such a man between us. A man that was equal to everyone, man that saved so many lives, which even his last concert was for humane causes. Sadly we recognize and appreciate people like him only when they’re not with us anymore. After he died we realized everything that he fought for: to be equal with everyone no matter their color, religion, sex or age and always to help each other. In his honor today there are a lot of humanitarian concerts and blood donations. Toshe made us better people and all of us thank him for that! The thing that I learned from Toshe was to be charitable person. I can say that several things connected me to be a person like Toshe was, I want to say that last week I donated a blood, I mean I’m doing that almost every 6 months and it helps me and it helps the people who needs it, also I’m giving money when I see some poor kids laying in the street and begging for a piece of bread.

An e-mail from 2105Dear Aleksandar, This is your reincarnation writing. You are wondering how I can know that you are my reincarnation. Well the technology is at much higher level than it was in 2008. Everybody knows their own reincarnations but they don’t have to write e-mails like me because their reincarnations don’t have homework like you do. First of all you I must tell you that it was very hard (almost impossible) to find a PC and to write you an e-mail because the PC is so old and it can be found only in museums for technology. We don’t need PCs anymore because we all have chips in our brains and if we want to send something to other person we just think of that in our brain and the thought automatically is send to the person we thought. We also have other technology devices for listening music, playing games etc. It is really interesting here in the future and I can tell u that it is so sophisticated and more interesting. I have visited historypedia.com and from there I can see that u were divided into small and big states and that u lived in just one planet. This is not a case in the future. The population grew bigger and bigger from one side and from the other the earth was too small to collect all the inhabitants. Also the Earth supplies were reduced and the people had to find new supplies and much more space. As a result of this, NASA had to adept other planets for decent life. Now the people live in separate planets but the planets are working for each other. For example if Mars need water, Pluto will export them the needed water, if Pluto needs food Saturn will give it to it for a decent price. In every planet there is a leader. The leader is ‘the one’. He has the absolute power. He can do whatever he can do. The all 9 leaders meet each other every year and discuss about their problems. I hope that I didn’t discovered too much of the future. Signature …………………… your reincarnationp.s. if u want to ask me something just think about it and I will try to find a way to write u another e-mail(although I am a very busy man and oh yea I have a space shuttle to catch to meet the rest 8 leaders).
