2. Certificates
All of these documents are my
diplomas and certificates which I
acquired during my studying in high
school. There are: ¡°Certificates for
studying English for 8
years¡±, ¡°Certificates for winning
school competitions in math and
English¡± and high school diploma.
I¡¯m really proud of that, because I
spent a lot of time and made hard
job to acquire all of these
certificates.
3. Giving a presentation
I had a group assignment
in my Global Citizenship
class. It was a big project
about ¡° Canadian gold
mining companies in
Ghana ¡±. Unfortunately it
was one of the hardest
topics. We spent many
hours of working together
and separately too to find
any information about this
topic. Finally, we presented
our project very well,
everybody were listening
us with a big interest and
after all we won loud
applause.
4. Graduation Year - 2012
After studying 11 years at
school, I finally graduated
from that institution in 2012. I
passed my last exam in high
school and got my diploma. It
was one of that moments in
my life, when I was really
proud of myself. Over the past
years at school I learnt a lot,
had an enormous life and
professional experience. It
was one of the meaningful
moments in my life.
5. Volunteering in Almaty Zoo
I spent my summer holidays in
Almaty city in 2012. I applied for
volunteering in local zoo and
fortunately was accepted. My job
was to help the staff with feeding
the big animals and taking care
about small animals on my own.
During that time I learned a lot
about animals. That time made a
high impression on me, because
working in zoo was my child
dream. I had a great time and will
never forget that.
6. Kazakh Student Association in Toronto
This event made a very strong impression on me,
because it was my first week in Canada. I was invited for
¡° Sport Day ¡± on Toronto island by KSAT to prepare for
that event. Me and other volunteers prepared really
funny and interesting program. Luckily, everybody were
happy and satisfied. After all, we spent great time there.
