My family has done an amazing job in keeping alive the Armenian culture in me, and I am thankful that I was raised in a family with strong Armenian traditions and values. I am proud to call myself a Hayuhi, or in this case, a Hye-Oozhuhi, because I have always shown my pride in being Armenian, and strived to keep my culture alive. Growing up in Fresno, I attended St. Paul Armenian Saturday School. The teachers at that Saturday school played a major role in my life, making sure I never forgot my Armenian language or knowledge. I graduated from Duncan Polytechnical High School as a Valedictorian and Certified Nurse Assistant on June 8, 2011, and am majoring in Biology at Fresno State. I speak Armenian, Russian, and English, and I am very involved in the Fresno community. I volunteer wherever I can, such as at Community Regional Medical Centers, Fresno. When I learned of the opportunity to join Hye Oozh, I could not believe it. I had grown up as a child listening to Tatevik, never imagining that I would one day become one of the hosts! This experience is very valuable to me because not only do I have a great time with my friends, but I give to the Armenian community and improve my knowledge on the Armenian language and Armenian entertainment. I am able to provide great music for the Armenians of Fresno, and anyone else who may be listening, and that for me is a huge gift. I am very dedicated and I will never forget my culture and where I come from. Words cannot express how grateful I am for receiving this opportunity from Tatevik, and how much it has changed my life. The experiences I have here at the radio will never be forgotten. I would like to give a very big thank-you to Tatevik Ekezian, to our listeners, and to all who have helped HyeOozh become what we are today. :) Lots of love, Marine Vardanyan |
| I am one of the HyeOozh Dj’s! I was born on March 30, 1993 in Yerevan, Armenia and I came to America when I was 6 years old. It was difficult for me and my family to adjust to the new life in America, but having HyeOozh in Fresno really helped. I am truly thankful to HyeOozh for being there and giving us a little piece of Armenia in this foreign land. I have lived in Fresno ever since we moved here and I have grown to love it! Although most of my family is still in Armenia, my life here in America is wonderful with my parents, grandparents, and older brother. |
