Desislava Tsankova: Art and mathematics are my driving force

Desi loves to paint and makes it permanent. She is attracted to computer drawing and graphic design. Her other great passion is... mathematics. She can’t stop to listening to a music and loves eastern culture very much.

Here's what Desi told us about herself, she is perhaps the most interesting participant in the "Have Charm" campaign.

How would you briefly describe yourself?

It looks like I am shy. But I love to talk, especially about things I like and I do not stop.

Who are your closest people and how do they support you? And you them?

My mother always supported me, and even if we had a disagreement, we always found a compromise. She is my closest person, I tell her everything and love her infinitely. I try to answer her with the same thing and be there for her, although of course I will never be able to do as she did for me.

Of course, I am close with my sister and my father. They do everything for me.

What do you always wanted to do, but for some reason you do not get courage?

Oh, a lot of things. To dye my hair in any possible unnatural colors. Not that I don’t have no courage, I rather wait for a moment. I was always amused to see girls and boys with blue, pink, purple hair and I always wanted to try.

I kindly envy those people who have the courage to say everything they think about anything. I like their self-esteem, especially respecting their personal happiness and opinion.

I wanted to add here one thing I was afraid to do before, and I'm so glad I did. Last year I cut my hair very short. I'm glad I did it because otherwise I would never know how I would look like.

Do you imagine what you want to grow up when you grow up?

I have plans for my future, but who knows, by then, I may be changed. I imagine to be doing something in the IT sector, programming, software engineering, gaming engine or graphic design, animation, 3D modeling. I hope things happen so I can study and live in London, New York or Los Angeles. I'm terribly admired in these cities.

I want to live abroad, just there people are more open to the new and different, I hope they are more understandable. Here, in Bulgaria, most people do not accept things that they can not understand and fear or deny them. Not all of them, of course.

Besides, I want to realize myself and be a happy, proud self-confident person.

What helps you find motivation when things do not evolve as you plan them?

Experience and support. Both are very important to dealing with life. Failures are to spell consciousness and help you understand some things in life. There are always bad times, but, as my math teacher says, everything in life is equalizing, there is a balance between success and failure.

Tell me about your hobbies, what you dream of when you are alone.

Art and mathematics are my driving force. Though quite contrasting things, situated in different hemispheres of the brain, the two are somehow balanced in my life. The passion for mathematics I owe my math teacher and my friends, my teammates and competition.

As for art, as the cliché says: "I've been painting since I learned to hold a pencil in my hand."

What is the last thing you buy? What did he give to someone?

Cactus. I love plants.

Last I gave a gift to one of my closest people, a girl who recently had a birthday.

What others do not know about you, and you always wanted to tell them?

I want to turn to the people who read this and to tell them, you are beautiful, beautiful beings, keep being what you are and stand up for yourself!
