02.09.2010Ruslana: At school I was a real tomboy
With the beginning of a new school year Ruslana recalls herself as a pupil
Young singer had hardly ever been to the principal’s room, she used to hit back when being offended and always took responsibility for her deeds.
“School times are one of my best and warmest child’s memories. I tried to be a painstaking pupil. I did all home tasks by myself and hardly ever cheated. My parent brought me up to be honest and responsible. I loved my classmates very much. I have always been an activist and a leader, attending all school amateur activities. I had a lot of friends. I headed the school humor club team. Coming back after lessons I tried to do my home tasks very quickly to attend my favorite ensemble. The worst punishment for me was not to be allowed to attend singing classes”.
In leisure time Ruslana preferred company of boys, used to climb trees and often came back home with bruises..
“On weekends I loved to play with the local boys from the yard. Dolls and laces were not for me. I preferred active games like cops and robbers. The boys had respect for me”, – the singer tells.
Taking about her first love:
«I did took some likings, as anyone does, but that was just typical child’s feelings. The real love was to be experienced a bit later, as an adult. My first child’s sweetheart was a boy from my music band. We sang together. That used to be a very touching child’s love».
