"My interest in mathematics led me to Economics" -Asel Raiymbekova

July 29, 2016

I was given an incredible opportunity to get a high-quality education at one the best universities of Kyrgyzstan, AUCA. Those four years have made a huge contribution to my intellectual, professional, and personal growth. My interest in mathematics led me to economics as my future profession; however, I fell in love with it. Studying in my department, I have learned to conduct my own research, to work with statistical data, to analyze information, and many other things. I have improved my analytical, technical and quantitative skills.

             During my studies at AUCA I was presented with a lot of opportunities to volunteer, to intern in both commercial and governmental organizations, and to take part in exchange programs abroad. One of the best experiences I had was an exchange semester at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU). It was great chance for me to broaden my perspective on Economics. The new environment, new people, and different culture were another challenge for my self-development. It was a life-changing experience for me and I wish every student could experience it.

            Looking back on these four years of my life, I want to express my deepest gratitude to the U.S.-CAEF program for making my time at AUCA possible. I am forever grateful to the professors of the Economics department, especially Nurgul Ukueva, Akylai Muktarbek kyzy, Rahat Sabyrbekov, Zarylbek Kydabaev and Lyudmila Konstanc, for their knowledge and patience during my college career. A special thanks goes to Olga Anatolievna Galimova from Business Administration for her understanding and generally for being a great teacher. I am thankful for having ECO-112 as my classmates and Aikumush as our office manager. They made these years joyful and unforgettable. Finally, I would like to thank my dearest parents, friends and significant other for supporting me during all the hard times and helping to overcome any challenges I faced.

             When I think about the future, I see a lot of hard work, learning, and challenges. I believe my and other young people’s desire to contribute to the economic development of our country will make a big impact on the history of our Republic.
