Solving problems has always been interesting and engaging for me. That curiosity led me to the PhysMath School, where I had the opportunity to participate in various Olympiad clubs, one of which was Informatics.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"661\" data-end=\"892\">Over time, I realized that this field is especially close to me: it involves creative solutions and constant mental exercise. That is why I decided to continue in this direction and, possibly, make it my profession in the future.<\/p>\n<p data-section-id=\"1yncm14\" data-start=\"899\" data-end=\"933\"><span style=\"font-weight: 700 !important;\">Participating in Olympiads<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"935\" data-end=\"1313\">Constant mental exercise is extremely important: it keeps you active, helps you approach problems from different angles, and find diverse solutions. These skills later play a significant role in various life situations. Olympiads also create healthy competition, which is very important: we not only compete but also help each other, learn from one another, and grow together.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1315\" data-end=\"1667\">In 2024, I participated in the Zhautykov Olympiad for the first time. It was a very interesting experience for me\u2014a new environment, new people, and a high level of organization. I was impressed both by the tasks and by interacting with participants from different countries. This was a great achievement not only in knowledge but also in experience.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1669\" data-end=\"1896\">I believe everything should start with love. It is important for children to try different fields from a young age, participate in Olympiads, follow successful examples, and understand that they too can achieve great success.<\/p>\n<p data-section-id=\"v75atu\" data-start=\"1903\" data-end=\"1935\"><span style=\"font-weight: 700 !important;\">Role Models in the Field<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1937\" data-end=\"2224\">I try to take the best from everyone. Of course, there are many top-level programmers and Olympiad participants whom I follow and aspire to be like. My teachers also play a big role in my life\u2014Armen Andriasyan and Samvel Andreasyan\u2014from whom I have learned a lot and continue to learn.<\/p>\n<p data-section-id=\"786rb7\" data-start=\"2231\" data-end=\"2251\"><span style=\"font-weight: 700 !important;\">Future Plans<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2253\" data-end=\"2558\">In the future, I want to continue in programming. I haven\u2019t yet decided whether to pursue my education in Armenia or abroad, but I am certain of one thing: whichever path I choose, I will try to use my knowledge to benefit my homeland, create innovations, and contribute to the development of my people.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; woodmart_inline=&#8221;no&#8221; text_larger=&#8221;no&#8221;] 17-year-old Vahan Abrahamyan is the new hero of our series about the successes of PhysMath students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3667,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"two_page_speed":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3668","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/physmathfriends.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3668","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/physmathfriends.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/physmathfriends.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/physmathfriends.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/physmathfriends.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3668"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/physmathfriends.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3668\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3669,"href":"https:\/\/physmathfriends.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3668\/revisions\/3669"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/physmathfriends.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3667"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/physmathfriends.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3668"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/physmathfriends.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3668"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/physmathfriends.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3668"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
