I would like to share my experience of working on projects. My journey began in the 8th grade. At that time, our project was supervised by a teacher who organized a school competition. Under her guidance, everything felt much easier, and my team won third place at the Young Academy of Sciences competition. After that, I decided to work on my own project without the close guidance of a mentor. However, that project was not highly appreciated. The following year, in the 10th grade, when I had already decided on the field I wanted to work in, I started a new project. I took all my previous mistakes into account, especially the main reason why my earlier project had failed to impress the judges: my 9th-grade project was more of a review than a research study. In the 10th grade, I invited one of my classmates to work with me. Together, we researched the level of financial literacy among young people and explored ways to improve it. After conducting a survey, we sought advice from a professor at ATU. After studying her recommendations, we came up with the idea of creating a guide that could be distributed to young people, as well as a budgeting game similar to Monopoly that would help players learn how to manage their finances. In the end, our project truly won the hearts of the judges. We won both a city-level competition and an international competition. Through this experience, I learned an important lesson: success comes from learning from your mistakes, improving your approach, and turning ideas into practical solutions that can make a real impact.
