\u201cThat school gave me a framework and I have only realized that in the last ten years. I didn\u2019t before because you rush through the world and life just passes by. Take care of that school, build it because I see that you are building the identity of the school, the meaning and the sense of belonging, that is important,\u201d the President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 told students of the First Gymnasium in Zagreb, which is marking its 170th<\/sup> anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf course, I am here tonight because many years ago, I was one of you,\u201d said President Milanovi\u0107, who himself attended the First Gymnasium, although it wasn\u2019t called that back then and, he says, it was quite different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy generation and I were assigned to go to \u2018\u0160uvarica\u2019. That wasn\u2019t right. They turned a good, old Zagreb gymnasium into some kind of mishmash, where they combined the Bureau-technical School and the Administrative School, as well as the First and Fourth Gymnasiums,\u201d said President Milanovi\u0107, adding that today, with the benefit of hindsight, he views that period of schooling \u201cas something so deeply a part of me that I couldn\u2019t have distanced myself from it, and in many ways, I\u2019m still there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He recalled his professors with particular emotion and said, \u201cI cannot forget all those professors whose stories and the intellectual world I experienced for four years. I remember them all as if it were today. It\u2019s not a lesson learned; it\u2019s simply something you carry with you and can\u2019t get rid of. That\u2019s why this is such an emotional moment for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThose four years fly by, and those gymnasium years are irreplaceable, unrepeatable, and gave us a wonderful education. Anyone who wanted to learn, anyone who wanted to be competitive without making a show of it, could have learned miracles from those people, and that\u2019s why I am infinitely grateful to them. Yes, they did their job, and generations passed through their hands, but to me, they are unique. So, once again \u2013 thank you to them,\u201d said President Milanovi\u0107, recalling the names of all his professors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDear First Gymnasium students, a student of \u2018the First One\u2019, the class of \u201881, formerly the Center for Administration and Justice, humbly submits this report to you. I humbly say that it was beautiful, and it is up to you to make it even more beautiful and to enjoy this time. You are not even aware of how beautiful and unique it is,\u201d concluded President Milanovi\u0107 in his words addressed to the students of the First Gymnasium in Zagreb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to President Milanovi\u0107, Principal Dunja Maru\u0161i\u0107, Head of the Education, Sports, and Youth Office of the City of Zagreb Luka Juro\u0161, and State Secretary at the Ministry of Science, Education and Youth Zrinka Mu\u017eini\u0107 Biki\u0107 spoke about the 170 years of operation and existence of the First Gymnasium in Zagreb. Awards for loyalty were also presented to the professors who have worked at the First Gymnasium the longest without interruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Milanovi\u0107 was accompanied by Jadranka \u017darkovi\u0107, Adviser to the President of the Republic for Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
