I believe one of the most memorable events of my life was when I was in front of more than 500 people in an audience and I was the emcee of that particular event. That event was about social media. It was created by a group of young professional students working in the marketing field and working in social media. It happened in Baku last year in 2024 on May. At the event there were a lot of people coming from different companies, students coming from different universities, a lot of business people, successful Azerbaijani entrepreneurs. It was quite memorable for me because of several reasons. First, it was the very first experience that I tried to be an emcee of an event. Secondly, previously I had public speaking issues. I felt of being present in front of many people and trying to deliver speech. But I overcame that fear and this event was a profound influence in my life. It helped me to believe in myself, to believe that if I want to do something I can surely do that. Yes, for these reasons it was quite a valuable memory for me.
