My Story

Elena Apresian:  I was born on October 12, 2010, in Yerevan. My hair and eyes are brown. I am in 10th grade. My favourite school subjects are Physics and Algebra. I am completely healthy. I am part of the youth club at our local Apostolic church. My father, Artak, temporarily works in construction. My mother, Tina, is a housewife. She suffers migraines and has undergone treatment for her condition, which proved to be useless. My mother is my guardian. I have two sisters: 11-year-old Anna and 9-year-old Nare. Our income is not enough to cover our needs, as it only comprises poverty allowance and my father's salary. We live in a two-story, partially renovated house that is completely destroyed in some places. The place is entirely in a hazardous condition. We live on the second floor, because the first floor is completely unfinished and unfit for living. The stairs are in poor condition and are dangerous to walk on. The roof of the house is also in a deplorable state, leading to rainwater leaks in various rooms. We have not made any improvements, except for purchasing a refrigerator. (4-341; update)

Remark*      Elena is a humble, calm girl. She is hardworking, and thanks to her diligence, in December 2025, she placed 2nd in the digital illustration program organised by the COAF foundation, for which she received a cash prize. Elena continues to attend the TUMO Centre and a mathematics tutoring group. Recently, noticeable changes have been observed, as she has become more confident. Elena's goal remains the same: becoming a good programmer.
