A Valuable Learning Journey
My study experience has been very meaningful and full of growth. During my academic journey, I had the opportunity to study abroad through the Erasmus+ Programme in Latvia. Living and studying in another country helped me become more independent, open minded, and confident. Academically, I maintained a GPA of 3.42, which reflects my dedication and consistent effort in my studies. One of the most unique parts of my experience was my strong interest in languages. I study and explore 11 different languages, which has helped me connect with people from many cultures and better understand the world around me. Another important moment in my journey was giving interviews on Qazaqstan TV, where I shared my experiences as an international student and talked about studying abroad. This opportunity allowed me to represent students and share my perspective with a wider audience. I also had an academic connection with Karabük University, which was an important step in my educational path. What I liked the most about my experience was the international environment, the chance to meet people from different backgrounds, and the opportunity to grow both academically and personally. If something could be improved, it would be creating even more platforms for students to practice languages and collaborate with international peers. Overall, my study experience has been inspiring and transformative. It helped me grow not only as a student but also as a global citizen with a passion for languages and cross cultural communication.
