A Good Role for Modern Youth
Sofiya Nedbay, 7a
There are so many different people in the world. Some of them are modern, famous but the only thing that they are living for is money. The others are modest, little-known but with a great heart. So I want to tell you about a sympathetic and warmhearted person who in my opinion is a good role model for us.
His full name is Ivan Leonidovich Tkachenko. He was born on the 19th of November in 1979 in Yaroslavl. Also he had a wife and 2 daughters. He was a Russian hockey player. He played hockey from the year 1994 to the year 2011 in the hockey club “Lokomotiv Yaroslavl”. He was the captain of his team. Also he was the best player during all the history of his club.
He and all his team died on the 7-th of September in 2011 during the flight. After his death people found out that he had helped the children with lethal diseases. He donated huge sums of money monies anonymously. The last amount of money was about 500 000 rubles. Ivan sent it on the day of his death. All in all, he sent 9 996 300 rubles. People didn`t know about it when Ivan was alive. In 2011 he was awarded the Medal of the Ombudsman of the Russian Federation "Hasten to do good".
Ivan`s parents promised to build a children`s hockey school. It will be an ice rink with stands for 100 people. In 2013 there the secondary school was named in the honor of Ivan. In 2016 the AST publishing house published a book Swifts on Ice by Edyard Topol dedicated to Ivan Tkachenko. The main character of this book is a 12-year-old boy an invalid Egor. He was the next child in the list of children whom Ivan was going to help, but the fatal crash did not allow him to finish the job.
In my opinion, Ivan Leonidovich Tkachenko is a good role for modern youth because he is very talented - as I have said he was the best player during all the history of his club. He is very charitable and shy because he donated huge sums of money monies anonymously to the unknown children.
