YEREVAN. - Last time Suzy, 22, enjoyed New Year with her family 4 years ago. She is the only child in the family, and when her father died, she had to deny herself a lot only to get higher education and become a good specialist.

At the age of 18, she moved with her mother from Armenia’s Gegharkunik province to Yerevan to work and earn for education. The only work she was offered after long searches was that of a waitress.

It’s already four years Suzy has been celebrating the New Year with a tray in her hands, surrounded by the good mood of restaurant visitors. There’s no time to care for her own mood. At midnight, when Suzy congratulates her mother by phone, she adds joy to her voice. Let her Mum, who is alone in a rented flat in Yerevan, know that everything is all right with her. “I can hardly manage to call Mum, congratulate her and understand how she is. I try to amuse her somehow. She doesn’t tell me she misses me, but I’m not small: I can guess that by her voice,” Suzy says.

The girl gets home on January 1, kisses her sleeping mother and goes to bed to celebrate New Year with her Mum several hours later.

Despite the difficulties, Suzy doesn’t give up; next year she is thinking of entering a university to acquire the profession of her dream, that of a translator, so that she can have a good job in the future, ensure proper senility for her mother, as well as keep her children from seeing what she has seen herself.
