I have always been an advocate of education, and I am a strong believer in the fact that education is the backbone of growth in any contexts.
When I was in the secondary school, I used to be a champion in my country in Uzbek wrestling (Kurash). I was destined to pursue a life of a sportsman, my coach used to say. However, I have always had the passion to discover new doors waiting to be observed. My passion intensified as I got to speak with more people who had seen the world and the advancements reached in certain parts of it. The thrill was uncanny, in a way that made me question myself, question the path of life that I really wanted to pursue. That moment was one of the most important stages of my life, as I decided to follow that inner call.
I decided to change schools and focus on education. Within the first year of engagement in the new school, I was able to get the first place in a national English contest. That determined how the later stages of my younghood would look like, as I started getting offers from prestigious high schools. Eventually, I ended up in going to Westminster lyceum in Tashkent, where I was ever closer to reach my goals. After high-school, I got accepted to Georgetown University with full scholarship. I always thought that once I see the advancements made in education, my passion would settle. However, I understood that a person is much happier when he or she shares instead of receives. Therefore, promoting education has now become one of main goals, given that there are millions of talents out there waiting for a single opportunity to thrive. To start that journey, I decided to intern in Education Above All.
