How artists studied at school. The most famous losers
Childhood of Adelina Sotnikova
It was clear from birth that the girl had a strong character. Born a weak seven-month-old child, she showed an unprecedented will to live.The first skating rink in little Adeline’s life was “Yuzhny”, which was located next to her house. The first coach was Anna Patrikeeva. She entered the CSKA school at the age of seven, where she continued to train for two years with Irina Goncharenko. After that, Elena Buyanova became her coach. By this time, the figure skater already had some training in rhythmic gymnastics. The girl immediately really liked studying with this mentor, they developed friendly relations. It was 2004.
Since childhood, the athlete had a calm, easy-going character. It was not her style to argue with the coach. She was always ready to strictly implement recommendations, which largely determined her future success. Thanks to this, she managed not only to master many “adult” elements, but also to bring them to automatism. These are level four spins and triple jumps, which she was able to perform in one program. Even some adult singles skaters cannot do this.
Her start was the Russian Championship of the 2007\2008 season, where she became tenth among juniors. Only a year has passed, and Adeline was already the first.
The next season was not so brilliant. She won fourth place at the Russian Championship, and only sixth at the Russian Championship. The character of the young athlete and the experience of her mentor did not allow the girl to give up. She worked hard, complicating the program. Sotnikova found herself in the rays of glory in the 2010\2011 season, becoming the champion in the Grand Prix final among juniors, and before that, winning both stages of this competition. This was followed by victories at both the Russian Championship and the World Championship.

A. Sotnikova: T. Tarasova taught me to overcome myself.
In the winter of 2012, Sotnikova took part in the first Youth Olympics in her life. The result was brilliant - a silver medal.
Buyanova is the athlete’s main coach, choreography is taught by Irina Tagaeva, and mastery lessons are taught by the unsurpassed master and experienced coach Tarasova. The contribution made by Tarasova to the musical design and choreography of Adeline is invaluable. In the 2012\2013 season, the matured figure skater, who turned 16, got the opportunity to compete at international championships for “adults.”
She had to finish school and prepare for the Unified State Exam. For Sotnikova, there are only grades 4 and 5; she does not accept others. The plan was to enter the Russian State University of Physical Culture. According to Adeline, this will help her, even after finishing her sports career, to remain in her favorite sport, taking up refereeing or coaching.

Personal life of Adelina Sotnikova
The athlete's whole life is skating. She has a tight schedule, big plans ahead, in order to implement them, she needs to train a lot. The girl is only seventeen years old, but she already thinks and feels like an adult.
All her friends are athletes, because it’s easier to understand each other that way. To feel happy, Adeline just needs to sleep on a day off, go to the cinema with a friend and eat a cake in a cafe.
She is very close to her mother. He thinks they have a wonderful family. Unfortunately, my sister has serious health problems. She underwent three operations, which required considerable funds. In many ways, this was the motivation of the talented skater. Tarasova helped a lot, she found a sponsor company that paid the expenses.
Unfortunately, Adeline spends little time with her family. She understands that mom and dad are having a hard time.
On Tatiana's Day, which is celebrated not only by girls named Tanya, but also by Russian students, we decided to look into the biographies of the stars to understand how exemplary students they were. Interestingly, some of them did not even finish school. Others, on the contrary, received degrees from prestigious universities.
Let's start with the excellent students. Which celebrity is drawn to knowledge and persistently gnaws on the granite of science? The nerd from the Harry Potter saga Hermione Granger brought fame to the actress Emma Watson. The girl grew up before our eyes: having passed the casting for the role at the age of nine, she gradually turned into a beautiful adult girl with each part of the film. Of course, during filming there was no time for studying - career came first. But after filming, Emma decided to fill the gaps in knowledge and began to study diligently. In 2009, she entered Brown University. Due to filming, the training did not last long and the documents had to be transferred to another alma mater, Oxford. Then Watson returned to Brown again - the girl does not want to miss the opportunity to get a profession, because you never know what will happen in the future...
"Blonde in law" Reese Witherspoon in the romantic comedy, she played a naive beauty who entered Harvard to win back her ex-boyfriend. She didn't get the guy back, but she became an excellent lawyer. In real life, Reese is also a diligent student. She calls herself a nerd who loves to read. At a prestigious school, the girl received good grades and was one of the members of the support group. Witherspoon entered Stanford University, where she decided to study English literature. But education and a career as an actress turned out to be incompatible, so the training lasted only one year.
Actress Natalie Portman and even teased him about being a nerd. She always took education seriously, managing to combine her studies with her filming schedule. I even missed the Star Wars premiere to study for exams. Natalie is a graduate of the Harvard psychology department, for whom she also had to make sacrifices, refusing roles in the films “Lolita” and “Romeo and Juliet.” Natalie admits that at first they stared at her in the classrooms, but soon they got used to it and began to treat her like a simple student. Portman claims that knowledge is more important to her than her film career. This is confirmed by the star’s studies at the Hebrew University, where the girl studied languages. The actress speaks French, German, Hebrew, Japanese and Arabic!
The well-known Fox Mulder, or rather David Duchovny, boasts a bachelor's degree in education from Princeton University. David also studied English literature at Yale University as a graduate student. In 1985, she graduated from the same educational institution. Jodie Foster.
And which of the stars ignored the importance of the diploma? There are a lot of them too. Eg, Charlize Theron, who left school at 16 to pursue ballet and a modeling career. Another Oscar winner also entered Nicole Kidman, to care for a mother with cancer.
Many stars faced difficulties at school that they could not cope with. So, Cher suffered from dyslexia. That is, she had problems with the perception of written speech; in other words, people with dyslexia find it difficult to read. Children with this disability have a hard time learning and are often teased. For this reason, Cher left school at 15. This diagnosis prevented many stars from obtaining a certificate. Among them are Guy Ritchie, Keanu Reeves and Tom Cruise, who changed fifteen schools, but never managed to graduate.
Some celebrities have hooligan pasts. Eg, Gerard Depardieu Already at the age of 12 he left school. With money obtained from car theft and goods smuggling, he traveled around Europe. A Kevin Spacey Expelled for beating up a classmate.
