"I have, like Depardieu"

Ruslan 16. Two years ago, he got into the orphanage and there he found out that the main dream of his life was not destined to come true. But there is another chance ...

Ruslan is sixteen. The closest person is a grandmother. Until the year before last, they lived together: dad Ruslan died, mom was deprived of parental rights. Then the grandmother fell ill, and so much that according to the laws she no longer had the right to be the guardian of her grandson. Ruslan hit the orphanage.

Come running to yourself

Ruslan says quietly, carefully choosing words. Sometimes almost whispers - either from emotions, or a voice simply breaks: “My grandmother is 74 years old. Not very cheerful already. - Brahs, then smiles. - But SMSKI knows how to send and read. Learned. And yesterday she called me in the evening, grandmother, but I could not answer. I was in the play. The performance about Gerard Depardieu. - Ruslan revives, begins to speak louder. - The actor is famous, you know? He, then, was once a thief. Then he threw this business. And then old friends called him, they say: “Is there business, you will go, will you go?” And he to them: “Yes, I found a job to their liking, but they pay little there.” And they are: “decide.” And then he, Depardieu, freezes. It seems he does not know what to do. And then we had to disperse into groups and come up with how to be for him. - Ruslan grins. - We came up with all the good. So that he abandones this past. Then those who did the performance told us that he, Zherar, had everything in life. ”

Ruslan and I slowly walk along the path strewn with pine needles. The guys in orange T -shirts are running and going towards - Comrades Ruslan on the educational campus of the Arithmetic of Good Foundation. They are from different orphanages, with different biographies and different characters. Yesterday, everyone together decided that Depardieu should be fine.

This performance is called immersive - in it the viewer becomes a participant in what is happening, recalls and works out those situations that happened to himself. This type of psychotherapy.

Ruslan kicks the bump: “Yes, I looked at the department - and remembered my. I had such a moment in my life when I was not friends with my head, I loved to make myself problems. - Ruslan squints, looks to the side. “How to tell you ... Friends and I did so that aggression was manifested in our direction.” Roughly speaking - so that they run after us, and we ran away.

And so I ran, ran and somehow began to think. That you need to change something

What to be all the time bad will not work. That you can live with adrenaline and running, but to be with everyone in the world, in good relations. In general, I had such a moment as the department, when I thought. Therefore, I am here, I have a “chance”. ”

Run on

“Chance” is the name of the program of the Arithmetic of Good Foundation, which helps children from orphanages to tighten knowledge in school subjects and prepare for examinations in online classes with tutors. In fact, it gives them the opportunity to go beyond the limits of the future programmed by their situation - an orphanage, vocational school, and then how lucky.

Ruslan is one of those who managed to use his chance yet: the whole ninth grade he was engaged in the tutors in the Russian language, social studies, mathematics and geography, handed over the OGE well and moved to the tenth.

“It so happened that after the lessons there were two more classes with tutors. It happens, I will work out once, I’ll run away quickly for dinner, then I run away, I chew a bun from dinner and wait for the second tutor. Now, here, I’ll go to the tenth, if everything works out, I’ll go to the eleventh. If it turns out there, I’ll go further. ”

When you ask Ruslan: "Where is it next?" - He answers quite quietly. So far, it is difficult for him to accept the fact that the childhood dream will not come true. Ruslan wanted to become a fireman or an employee of the Ministry of Emergencies, but recently found out that in these professions the road was closed due to flat feet.

“I always wanted adrenaline in the veins. And to save people. - Ruslan shrugs barely noticeably. “I don’t even feel him, this is flat feet!” Legs do not hurt at all. I'm running. I put on sneakers - and I am running. Here we are going - see the circle? Yesterday I made two of these at a slight pace. And last year he ran for the first time. I ran out of the hour, just exactly only: 59.59 ... No, I understand that life does not end there. I can find a replacement. I can enter someone else. ”

Dream of different things

Ruslan in good faith lists: “I have five along the physical. In English four, on OBZh too. The main thing for me is that the teacher is good, cheerful. Then everything goes easier. In the “Chance” there are all. Here, in geography, the tutor was - such a humorous person, it is always interesting with it. The tutor explained clearly by the Obzh, I began to understand more not only by his subject, but also in history. I count mathematics from scratch, I did not understand geometry at all. The next year I will definitely stay in the program, I will take physics with chemistry. Chemistry is hard to give me. "

In addition to schooling, Ruslan still has many classes. The “Young Rusichi” circle - they arrange theatrical performances there, restoring the battles of past centuries. Ruslan waves his hands, showing: “Everything is realistic as possible! Chain mail, helmet, shoulders ... You will wear everything, you walk like an iron bun. ” Sports - athletics and football; Ruslan plays in defense, but tries to help all the players, "close this and that." Labor practice - this summer Ruslan and his classmates painted the school building. It was hard from the smell of paint, but the guys did not refuse work - it is paid, the money is transferred to a savings bank.

“I think to withdraw this money. Not all, a little. - Ruslan is absolutely serious, a child to himself, his own parent. - I want to buy myself clothes for the school. Shirt and boots, strict. I already have blue trousers, I pick up everything for them. So that there was like a dress code. I order Aliexpress. It’s long to wait, but I can wait long. ”

When you ask Ruslan what he still dreams about, he first answers, without thinking, as a matter of a long -decided and cheerful: “You can’t be firefighters, but you can? I want to go around the whole world and jump from the highest roofs everywhere. Either with a parachute, or in a protein suit, do you know this? "

Then he thinks for a long time, too carefully considering his hands: “When you have to be hard, I do not always succeed. I want to learn. To establish your own. ”

The "Chance" program is not only about good marks in exams. The Arithmetic of Good Foundation helps its wards learn this: to understand what plans can be realized right now, what past should be left overboard, what dream to strive. Helps children to establish their right to choose, to a happy life.

The “need” fund collects money to pay for the work of teachers. They will support and train those guys from orphanages who dared to come to their own way-to get out of the system and try to win a more worthy life. Please, let's help them. Donate any amount in favor of the “arithmetic of good” or issue a monthly payment: each of our 100, 200, 500 rubles will help children-orphans get a good education and fulfill their dreams.
