Kazakh girl learning in the USA

Aizhan Nurmanova is a Kazakhstani student studying at the Choices Charter School in Sacramento, California, USA. The student transferred to this school from the ‘Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Physics and Mathematics in Semey”. Our home girl currently studying in the 12th grade, this time came to her hometown to meet with her relatives and friends. Taking this opportunity, we met with Aizhan and asked her about the life in the United States.
Aizhan began her story with the reason why she and her family moved to America: “My parents have professional sports career. Over the years, they trained the students and made remarkable achievements. As a result of this, having signed a contract, they decided to work in a gigantic state located far beyond the ocean. After completing the first term of the current school year, I immediately got ready to go, was accepted into this school, where I continued my studies. Since Sacramento is a multinational city, children of different nationalities study at school. Another feature of the school is distance learning. Having chosen this advantage, I had the opportunity to return to my hometown”, said Aizhan Serikkyzy.
In a short time spent in the US, Aizhan managed to prove her knowledge. Besides the fact that Aizhan was included in the rating of the most successful students by the quality of knowledge, she also managed to successfully pass the international SAT exam, gaining 1410 scores, and received an invitation from some American advanced higher educational institutions.
“The scores I gained on the exam, gives me the opportunity to enroll at the Georgia Institute of Technology, University of California in Santa Barbara, University of California in Davis. Now it is necessary to choose one of these three universities. I think I can make the right decision after thinking a little about it” she said.
Due to my huge interest in these higher education institutions, I began to search the Internet for more information about them. It is noteworthy that the history of each of the universities mentioned above began a long time ago. It should also be noted that these universities are considered the largest research centers not only in the United States, but throughout the world. The world-renowned people who were educated in these educational institutions had a huge impact on improving the reputation of universities. For example, such politicians as the 39th President of the United States, Jimmy Carter and the President of the Republic of Panama, Juan Carlos Varela Rodriguez and a well-known astronomer and director of NASA, Richard Trulli graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology. The same well-known graduates studied in two other universities. Now such news, which once a Kazakh child could not even dream of, has become a reality and an obvious demonstration of the high achievement of the current national education.
Aizhan did not cease to communicate with her friends and teachers of the Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Physics and Mathematics in Semey. If necessary, she listens to various tips from local subject teachers. Our student, who is our pride, who is skillfully and efficiently manages her time, decided to dedicate her future to Computer Engineering.
Having chosen this profession, she wants to contribute to the development of computer science. We wish Aizhan to conquer many more peaks!
