Alesha Kulyabin

Just returned from the CRH. There I was told a story about a thirteen-year-old disabled boy.

In the musical school of the city of Kirsa, a thirteen-year-old boy Alyosha Kulyabin is studying. He is very fond of teachers, because Alyoshka has a kind soul, a wonderful sense of humor and a rare desire to study. This year the boy finishes the piano class, and although not all the highest scores in his certificate, teachers say that they will never forget such a pupil.
Learning is given to Alesha is not easy, because he does not have such opportunities as all the other guys. Alyosha is an invalid from birth. He can not walk at all. After birth, the boy was diagnosed with a terrible diagnosis: spinal hernia. The disease completely immobilized the lower part of the child's body. And at this stage it is incurable. Mom drives his son in a wheelchair, it is difficult for him to move independently.
Olga Ivanovna Kulyabina brings Alesha to a music school and leaves a stroller in the corridor. Further on the offices she carries it in her arms. I managed to get acquainted with them on the day of the final exam at the music school. When I entered the room, Alesha was just finishing his program. The sounds of the piano were audible even in the corridor - during the examination at school strict silence is observed.
When the last lesson of music in Alyosha's music ended this year, a small and apparently not very strong mother brought her son out of the office in her arms. She was terribly worried - how did they appreciate the efforts of her child? But Alyosha himself was absolutely calm in appearance. He was well aware that he had made some mistakes, and that he would not have a "five". Indeed, strict but fair teachers appreciated Alesha's work for "four." And I must say that it did not upset him at all. All according to the honest: the requirements for Alexei are the same as for other children, although most teachers treat him with tenderness and sympathy.
"The boy, of course, has great ability for music, it is necessary to develop them further," says his teacher Nadezhda Nikulina.

This year Alesha Kulyabin is finishing the seventh grade of the general education school. True for health reasons, Alyosha is on individual training. He studies with great desire. Like any other child, Alyosha has many temptations that distract him from school worries. The boy is fond of computers and understands well, loves good films, reads a lot. Most of all he likes the genre of fantasy. Despite a lot of different interests, there is enough time for studying. Last year Alesha was awarded a diploma for diligent studies.

• Sometimes I dream that Alyoshka, stretching his arms out to the sides like wings, runs towards me, laughing loudly, "says Nadezhda Sergeevna Nikulina. - I hugly embrace his mother and burst into tears. It is very unfortunate that in reality Alyosha can not run. And just tears come to my eyes when I think that the boy is already old enough and begins to realize that he is not like everyone else.
