Pop singers and film stars are watched by millions of young people all over the world. Many of these people choose an actor or a singer as role models in life. That's why I think that singers and actors have a great responsibility; they have to set an example in everything they do because young people will follow their example. Unfortunately many times the stars behave in an irresponsible way, using drugs, driving under the influence of alcohol, committing acts of aggression against reporters or committing suicide such as Kurt Cobain or Elvis Presley did. In such cases their fans become disappointed or puzzled or they may even try to do the same thing. I think it is difficult to control yourself when you become a star because you think you are great, everybody likes you and you may end up in a fantasy world where you are no longer yourself. Personally I don't have a role model and I like actors and singers for their films or songs and I'm not obsessed by anyone of them.

The last week I spent at school with my teachers and colleagues was the most wonderful time I spent in high school because teachers didn't give us grades any more, we came to school out of pleasure and remembered the good and the bad moments we spent during the four years of high school. We took a lot of photos and came dressed in elegant clothes, everybody was nostalgic, the teachers forgave us for the hard time we gave them and we forgave them for the bad grades they gave us. I was happy because I had finished high school but I was also worried about the graduation exam and the university entrance exams that followed soon. Almost every teacher came to out classroom to tell us a few words about the time we spent together and give us some advice about the future. Some girls in my class were so moved by these moments that they cried as if it was the end of the world but in general everybody was happy and optimistic about the future.

The twentieth century was a very remarkable time for mankind because many developments took place during this time. One of the most important and regrettable events of the twentieth century was the second world war when many people died, Jews were exterminated in concentration camps and Romania got under the influence of the Russians for about 50 years. During the second world war the first atomic bomb was used at Hiroshima and it had devastating effects. I think that the invention of the atomic bomb was to change the balance of power in the world and may lead to the end of the world. Another important event was the invention of the computer and later the Internet which nowadays are used everywhere in the world: in schools, hospitals, airports, banks. Without the computers many companies won't be able to survive and civilization will go back 100 years.

Volunteering in Romania is almost unheard of. During the communist dictatorship everybody was supposed to do some volunteer work: students planted trees, people worked at the weekends . Nowadays everybody wants to make money and it is difficult to find someone willing to work without getting anything in return. This is because Romania is a poor country and people don't have enough money to think of doing some more work for free. Volunteers have come to Romania from other countries to work in the orphanages, in schools and hospitals and these people have always been welcomed in our country but I think that it will take a lot of time before Romanians start doing volunteer work because many people see the corrupt politicians and the bankers who steal a lot of money and they think they would be stupid to work for nothing.
