Last November, I delivered my first speech in English at a conference in the Kazakh-German University. I presented my own methodology and life hacks for effective and productive studying. Students from all over Kazakhstan participated, and I won 1st place! This experience helped me overcome stage fright and proved that my ideas actually work. I really want to bring this proactivity to KIMEP, participate in scientific conferences, and develop the student community, which is why winning the KAEF grant is my ultimate goal.
