Hello everyone!👋 My name is Yasmin Darmesheva, and I am a graduating student of School-Lyceum No. 95. In the next stage of my journey, I plan to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in International Relations at KIMEP University- a field that reflects my strong interest in diplomacy, leadership, and global affairs. For the past two years, I have served as the President of my school, founded the Debate Club, and actively developed student initiatives aimed at creating more opportunities for the school community. I am also a winner and prize-holder of international and national Olympiads in History, English, Mathematics, and other subjects. These achievements have shaped my discipline, academic resilience, and constant drive for growth. My interest in diplomacy has been developed through participation in numerous Model United Nations conferences. One of the most memorable experiences of my journey was taking part in the Model European Union at KIMEP University, where I was able to gain deeper insight into international cooperation and diplomatic dialogue. Meeting Aleska Simkic, the Ambassador of the European Union, was especially inspiring and further strengthened my motivation to pursue International Relations. In addition, I am a leader of two youth movements - Earth Foundation and KazYouth Diplomacy. I also work as an attaché at one of the largest diplomatic schools in Almaty and am a member of the youth wing of the Respublika Party. All these experiences and achievements directly shape my goal - to become a recipient of the KAEF Laureate Grant. I see this grant as a unique opportunity for active, academically strong, and highly engaged students, and I strongly believe my profile, leadership experience, and achievements reflect exactly the type of candidate this program is designed to support. I am also a winner and prize-holder of the national awards “El Umiti” and “100 Best School Students of Kazakhstan.” For me, this is not just the next step -it is a path I am intentionally building toward International Relations, diplomacy, and real impact. And this is only the beginning 🎓💫
