The descriptions of the students of Hugo Treffner Gymnasium. The testimonials were written by other students. All of the pictures are done by Anni.
Tiina is a great teacher. She is always friendly and smiling. I have never seen her angry. Even when we talk too much during our class she smiles and tells us to be quiet. But this in no way means she's a pushover. She makes a lot of jokes and tells us interesting stories. She has a different approach than most teachers. Because she isn't as authoritative she's more like an older friend. All in all she's a fun and interesting person who I'm glad to have as a teacher. (Described by Joosep, picture by Eliise)
MarilinMarilin Savi is our English teacher. At first sight, she might look strict and serious, but in reality she’s really friendly and cheerful. She also has a great sense of humour. From time to time she can be really sarcastic too. The classes are amusing with her. That’s why she’s the favourite teacher of many students. She’s compassionate and understands people thoroughly. She also cares a lot about her little children. (Described by Anni)
Merili
Merili is a smart girl, who always has her own opinion. She is interested in politics and society and she likes to have conversations on serious topics. Of course that doesn’t mean she’s entirely serious. On the contrary, she can laugh for 10 minutes in a row, even 15, when the joke is worth it. By the way, Merili has red hair and a very good taste in clothing. Sometimes she’s late to school because she really likes to sleep. She’s lazy like a cat. I think Merili is quiet but dares to speak whenever she has something to say. You can’t get bored with her because she just has an interesting personality. She is never condescending or rude and always listens to others. She is mature but still knows how to have fun. To make long story short, Merili is a nice girl worth spending time with. (Described by Linda)
Kristiina is quite an interesting girl. She is very funny and can be rather ironic sometimes. She is very smart, but a bit of an overthinker and often can not make up her mind. Kristiina likes listening to music, reading, shopping and socializing. She does not like to idle- so she is always doing something. She has a really cool hobby- making jewellery. Also, she has a big family and several pets, whom she loves a lot. She is very considerate and easy to talk to and you will never get bored with her. Kristiina is a great friend to have and life would be so tedious without her in it. (Described by Laurina)
Andrea
Andrea is one of those people who has an interesting personality. Every single day you can find out something new about her. Whether it's something about her travels across Europe or some casual news. All in all, Andrea is fun, active and creative. She is extremely intelligent especially regarding such topics as art, theatre and literature. She is also interested in sport. She stands out especially when we play hockey indoors. Most important of all: she is extremely easy to talk to. She isn't chatty but she is always ready to talk and that's what makes her such a good friend. (Described by Ingrid)
Laurina
Laurina is a very cheerful girl. She loves watching films, listening to music and laughing. She loves her family and friends and likes to spend time with them. Laurina loves talking because something always happens with her, but she's also a good listener. She likes staying up late so she sleeps in all the time, although she sets 5 alarm clocks. Laurina is good at sports and she likes to learn new things. It's quite difficult to go shopping with her, because she's quite indecisive. She is very pretty with her curly hair and always looks good in pictures. She is lovely and definitely a good friend who you must like. (Described by Kristiina)

Katrin
Oh, Katrin, Katrin! She is a very beautiful girl. She's like a
chocolate-girl. Katrin takes dancing courses. So, she knows how to move her body and at every party she is the first who starts dancing. Apart from that, she loves travelling. She is very excited about our France trip, she is eagerly waiting for that. Of course she loves to sin with chocolate and hamburgers, like we all do. She seems like an usual girl but she isn't. (Described by Andrea)
I think Selena is an interesting person. She likes to talk a lot so you will never get bored with her. And if you like chemistry, you may become best friends with her because she loves chemistry a lot and is very good at it as well! She also enjoys rock music and reading books, but hates when her sister's playing the flute, because Selena thinks she's not very good at it. I also think she doesn't like sports very much because she always gets hit by different balls when we're playing games in PE class. Selena is a good friend because she has her own opinion and usually isn't afraid of saying what she thinks. (Described by Monika)
Monika
Monika is very conscientious and kind. She loves children, animals and music. She has beautiful singing voice and she can also play flute. She always keeps her promises and finishes things she has started. She has a gift
to be always friendly and smiling. She is open-minded and smart, it's easy to find a topic when you talk with her. She is a good listener and if you have a problem, she tries to help you. Monika is also beautiful and elegant. She has long blonde hair and you can often see her wearing some pretty dress. (Described by Selena)
Liina
Liina is a fun person to be with. She’s always full of energy and she never looks tired, even on Monday mornings. You can always rely on her, especially when it comes to helping in English or French because she’s really good at those. When you have her as a desk mate in a math lesson, it is guaranteed that you will not do math exercises but only discuss different topics until the end of the class. But she can also look very calm and sensible so the chance of getting caught by a teacher is not too big. With Liina you do not have to worry about being normal, because with her you can be totally crazy and yourself, she accepts people as they are. That’s why it’s so much fun to hang out with her!

Elisaveta
Elisaveta (prefers to be called Liisa) is cheerful and fun to be with. She doesn't seem to have many worries, she takes things lightly and freely (you can often hear her laughing). She's often ready to try something new or gain new experiences. She's a little restless during lessons, but that's inevitable for someone so active. Her grades are quite good and she finds time to take part in contests or other things of interest. Liisa doesn't worry about what others think about her, maybe that's one of the reasons why she has many friends. I like that she is very straightforward and says what she thinks. That makes her a good friend for those who get along with her. (Described by Liina)
Linda
Linda is smart. Like, really smart. Like, really really really smart. But it's not like she feels she's better than everyone just because she happens to be more intelligent than them, just like so many wise people do. On the contrary, she's always nice and lovely. Even when she's angry at someone she manages to keep her head calm and not start yelling. For me, it's very surprising that Linda never wears black. In Estonia, where black is like a national colour, that's a rare thing to see. Just a reminder that she's not a peacock. Not only does she wear colours but her artwork is also very colourful. And she's good at art. (Described by Merili)

Elo
First of all, Elo is definitely very smart, talented and has always many ideas, which are usually very original and just good or they can sometimes make you laugh for 10 minutes, because they are just so full of humour. She’s also very musical – she’s a really good singer, and at the same time she’s also good at sports (runs fast and jumps far). She is also positive, funny and knows how to get you in a better mood. Although she likes to do everything thoroughly to have good results, she sometimes leaves important things to last minute. She also seems to arrive everywhere a little late or just in time, but rarely a few minutes earlier. But the most important thing about her is that she’s a really good friend – always knows what to do when someone is in trouble. (Described by Helen)
Airi

| Elo and Linda |
Airi is one of the funniest people I know. I can assure you - it is impossible to get bored around her, she always manages to come up with a new topic or a joke. She always hears people out and gives advice if she can. She is very honest and she isn't afraid of expressing her opinion, even if it's contrary to the general opinion. I think she is very open to new ideas and meeting new people. She can easily make new friends because she is such a sweet person who just loves to talk and has a positive attitude. She even likes sports, computer games and action films – things that a lot of girls often hate. Whenever Airi isn't at school, I get the feeling that something is missing from my typical school day. It's hard not to like her! (Described by Mariliis)
Mariliis
Mariliis is very friendly and humorous. She knows how to make you laugh. She is also talented and smart. She almost always knows an answer to every question. If you need help, she's the one you can turn to. She always helps you, even if she's busy with something else. She is social and fun to be around. She can easily find new topics to talk about. You can't get bored with her. You can tell her anything, because she's very reliable. She's also very hard-working and knows what she wants out of life. You couldn't ask for a better friend. (Described by Airi)
Kaisa

| Mariliis and Airi |
Kaisa is a cheerful girl with light brown hair and green eyes. She makes a lot of jokes and laughs all the time. She likes to take photographs and draw. She sits next to me in the French class and she talks pretty much in class. But maybe it’s because we don’t meet in other classes. She likes jogging. She is very friendly and kind, but sometimes a little bit shy too. She makes friends easily. She really likes animals and she’s a vegetarian. (Described by Kätrin)
She is one of those people who
wouldn't even hurt a fly. Kätrin is warm-hearted and friendly. She's a typical
optimist and you rarely see her in a sad mood. She has one of the sweetest smiles which makes people around her
happy. You can certainly call her sincere and trust her with secrets. You can
complain to her because she is always willing to listen. She's also quite busy
because she has a lot of hobbies. She loves to sing and does gymnastics. She's
athletic and very pretty. (Described by Kaisa)
It seems unbelievable how much
energy that little girl has- she could manage everything, she wants. Helina is
kind-hearted, she cares for her family and friends. I have never seen her in a
bad mood. It seems like she can be optimistic about everything. Helina is very
talented- she is an amazing dancer. I remember how she patiently taught me
ballroom dances and was cheerful the whole time. She is also a wonderful
communicator and that’s why she can easily gain friends. I haven’t known her
for a long time, but she has a very good impression on me from the beginning,
because she really is full of sunshine. (Described by Eliise)
Priit is a handsome, nice boy,
who is always willing to take part in different sport activities. He is one of
the best floor hockey and football players in our class. He is never boring and
he is always cheerful. Once I gave a folk dance lesson with him, then I
realized how funny and humorous he actually is. He never worries too much about
his studies, homework or obligations. He lives day by day, so he’s enjoying
every moment of his life. Also, I have to say that he likes to party, party
hard. When he does something, he’s committed and never gives up. He is a loyal
friend and a good classmate. I appreciate our friendship and I hope it will last
long. I hope he has his targets to reach and he is going to be a successful
young man. (Described by Helina)
Helen is the person, whose
schedule is always full and who works on Saturday mornings. Yet she can often
be found laughing like crazy. She has great jokes and is a wonderful person to
be around. When she's happy, she makes people around her happy, too. Helen
cares a lot about her friends and always helps whenever it's needed. She has
goals and is determined to reach them even if it means hard work. Helen likes photography,
laughing (sometimes not exactly knowing why), good food, sauna, singing,
concerts... She can play the percussions and the piano. (Described by Elo)
Diana
Diana is very
talented. She plays the guitar really well. She is an optimist and she’s also
self-confident. When you’re near her, you can recognize her by her distinctive
and loud laugh. She laughs a lot and she’s happy all of the time. I can’t
remember a time she wasn’t cheerful. She’s very friendly and makes friends
easily. She adores reading books and looking at funny
pictures on the internet. She’s honest and sometimes lazy too. But being lazy
doesn’t mean that she isn’t capable of something. She can achieve any goal she
puts her effort into. And of course she is very smart too. I think she'll do great
things with her life because she has a good mix of qualities. (Described by

Ingel
Ingel is quite cheerful and friendly girl. She
loves to sing and has been singing for many years. She is also VERY indecisive
which means that sometimes you have to wait for a long time until she decides
what she exactly wants to do. She is quite correct and well-behaved and always
studies for every test although sometimes she'd prefer to sleep or to do
something else. That means she has a strong character. She is a little bit...
unusual. She loves car racing. She adores pink cupcakes! (Described by
Katarina)
Eliise is able to light up anyone's day and
you only have to show her a kitten or another cute animal in order to achieve
that. One simply cannot imagine how fun it is to work with her, as she has to
laugh or smile just once and all the tensions are swept away. Although she
comes from a cold country such as Estonia, she has got the heart of a Latino
that is portrayed through her passion for salsa and other exotic dances. But
beware because she is really made of sunshine, flowers and rainbows although
she will go to unbelievable lengths to hide that. No one should ever hold
himself back when they are around her and if they do, then it's their loss
because she doesn't have any negative prejudices. And trust me; she is exactly
the one who knows the meaning of hard work because of her achievements in being
a great role model for her younger brother while taking care of her kittens and
studying full time! She is also made of sugar which is exemplified by her
magical skills at baking. Most delicious, mouth-watering cakes of the last 2
years come from her. And although there is so much evil in this world, one
could still not even imagine her ever hurting a fly. It is told that she
accidentally hurt a mosquito in her sleep, but that is also a legend. One of
her biggest passions is definitely belly-dancing that she is even able to pull
off with real candles on a plate that is on top of her head and there is even
evidence of that online!!! She always impresses with her ability to adapt to
any country she visits because there are, and always will be, other gentle and
warm animal-friendly people everywhere! (Described by Randon)

Ingrid is one of the most cheerful and pleasant girls I know. She is positive and laughs all the time. I like her laugh very much; it's so extraordinary and makes me laugh too. It's so easy to talk with her, because she is very friendly and talkative. She is also very intelligent. She likes to read, going to the theatre and is interested in art. On the other hand, she is very active and sporty. She likes dancing, playing volleyball and badminton the most. Since she is so friendly and reliable, she has a lot of friends and on her free time she likes to go out with them. And like most of the people, she likes to sleep and eat, especially sweets.
