Personal (family)
Sometimes, I am self-confident and nothing can confuse me. And world seems nice place to live and I can help and take care of my people around me. Other times, it is hard to stay straight, and only family gives me strength.
My dad is a state employee and mother is a teacher. My childhood was full of happy moments, and I was taught that education is a very important goal of my life. And being the eldest among five children taught me responsibility for the others. Presence of 90-year-old grandmother taught me to respect elders and honor youths. And my own husband and daughters add even more flavor to my life.
Social (culture, home, country)
Uzbekistan is my home country and it’s located in Central Asia, former part of Soviet Union. Uzbekistan has an area of 172,700 square mills. It shares borders with Kazakhstan to the west and to the north, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan to the east, and Afghanistan and Turkmenistan to the south. Official language is Uzbek, one of the family of Turkic languages. Being ethnic Kazakh I speak Kazakh, Uzbek, Russian and I learn English. 28 million people live in my country, and there are a lot of Uzbeks, Russians, Tajiks, Kazakhs, Karakalpaks, and Tatars. Uzbekistan's economy relies mainly on commodity production, including cotton, gold, uranium, and natural gas.
Uzbekistan people are very hospitable and you can always find family to stay overnight and food to eat. Almost all family teaches their children to respect each other in the family and community. And community is aware of each family. Central Asians live to celebrate special occasions. People spend almost all savings to this and they save for it. They can invite hundreds or even thousands people to their weddings, birthday parties, first child welcome parties and new home show parties. You can’t imagine Uzbek special occasions without lamb or beef bullion, pilaf, kebabs, and samosa.
Professional (economic infrastructure)
I am an international economist by profession and I worked in National Bank of Uzbekistan. Salary was embarrassingly low, but little more than that of my husbands, who also worked in a bank. Then he was accepted UC Berkeley, and we moved to the USA. During these three years in the USA I took care of my two girls, while my husband worked as an assistant of professor, then at SAP Software Company.
Universal (philosophical, goals, definition of success)
I think we have goals in every step of our lives. Reaching one gives hint to the next goal. No matter what it is – family, career, money, fame, hobby or knowledge, charity, travel, art - every goal is happiness.
My goals are to educate my girls, to graduate with MBA, to find a job, to help others and to make my parents proud of me.
