Veniamin Tsukaremanov.
My story is about a man who, unfortunately, is no longer alive. This is Veniamin
Tsukareman. This man is a Soviet physicist — Hero of Socialist Labor. This remarkable scientist
was not only a developer of nuclear technology, the founder of Soviet pulsed X-ray technology,
the ancestor of Russian sign technology and the author of many scientific works. He passed on
his experience and knowledge to his students, training around fifty top-ranked scientific
specialists who continued the work of their mentor with dignity. Because of all his work,
Veniamin Tsukaremanov was blind.
Veniamin was born on 6 April, 1913. He was born in the north-east of Belarus in Vitebsk.
During his lifetime he was in charge of a department at a nuclear center. In 1930, Veniamin
Tsukaremanov had serious problems with his eyesight. This was especially pronounced in low
light, and when the young scientist consulted doctors, he was diagnosed with pigment retinitis, a
progressive inherited disease that is still considered incurable. The loss of vision occurred
gradually. The scientist went completely blind when he was 45 years old. The scientist has
written many scientific papers on the processes of explosion and detonation. In particular, he
learned how to type on a typewriter blindly. And I don’t even mention the loss of vision, he kept
inventing and teaching others. Veniamin died in 1993, at the age of 79.
The reason I admire Veniamin Tsukaremanov is because he is very smart and brave.
Veniamin Zuckerman never lost faith in life and continued to live. The life of Veniamin
Tsukaremanov teaches us that anything is possible as long as you really want it and work hard to
achieve it.

My mother.
The person I admire is my mother. Mom is the closest and dearest person who will always
come to the rescue, caress, pity and give valuable advice.
From my earliest childhood, I wanted to be like my mother. She is beautiful, smart, and
caring. I remember my childhood when I went to the kindergarten. I was always surprised how
my mother managed everything. We also have an older sister in our family. She helped my older
sister do her homework, picked me up from kindergarten, came home from work and cooked a
delicious dinner. Every weekend we cleaned the apartment together and then made dumplings.
We also went for a walk in the Park together. Before going to bed, she would tell me some
stories or we would just talk about how our day went.
