About Myself

Hey, my name is Rafael Karapetyan, I am 17 years old, nearly 18. I live in Russia, Moscow but my nationality is Armenian. I had quit a bad background. Its my fourth year in England. My first two years in England were in York, Queen Ethelburgas. The school was really good in terms of houses, rooms, territory. But the main problem was, that no one studied there. Students didnt care about their education, teachers were not so seriuos about teaching us, so i got into that influence of not studying and i can say that i lost two years. I failed all my subjects. When i came to Hurtwood i promised to myself that i will do my best to achieve better grades and put effort into studying. And i did it. Its my second year in Hurtwood House school, and I really enjoy it. I finished my GCSE here and it went quit well.

The subjects I am doing now are Sociology, Media Studies, Maths and Economics. I have choosen each of them by my desicion, but not under anyones influence or parents wants. The reason why i am doing Media Studies is simple, i wanted some creativity. I have choosen two academically strong subjects and Sociology which is quit difficult too, so also having Media Studies will provide enjoyment.

I like doing sports. I used to do boxing for 2 years, but now i stopped. Other sports i like are swimming, football and others. I also enjoy other active sports like pool, paintball,bowling, table-football.
I really like watching movies, but only in cinemas, not for example on laptops. One of my favourite movies is Onces Upon a Time in America with Robert De Niro.
