Well, in my life there were dozens of people who has already affected my life in a positive way. But there is only one problem because I had to choose about one of them. So today I want to tell you about my mother, who is a person that I consider her as a hero for some reasons. The first and foremost is that when I was younger it was really difficult for me to read books. And then my mother really supported me by saying that, oh my son, you should study fairy tales. So my mother in the beginning she just told me the fairy tales and about their meaning. So when I was turning to six I also started to read fairy tales. And when I was turning to seven on the other hand I changed such story books to encyclopedians and specific science related books. And also still now currently we have a small library which is still well preserved by us. After reading one book we just collect them to our shelf and now the number of books are more than hundreds and maybe thousands. And also at the time I realized that heroes don’t always have their floating cloaks or lasers shooting out of their eyes. And at the time I really realized my mother was my hero and still now she’s really contributing to my success in a positive way. I cannot describe even all of my imagines because I was over the moon after passing my reading exams due to my mother’s achievement. And also because that was the situation like kind of once in a blooming in the sky but my mother always considered it as taking candy from the baby. That was too easy and after reading books in my opinion my Uzbek vocabulary was really boosted and now from my perspective it looks like a cherry on the cake.

Well, in my life, there have been dozens of people who have positively affected me. But there is only one problem: I had to choose one of them. So today, I want to tell you about my mother, who I consider a hero for several reasons. The first and foremost is that when I was younger, it was really difficult for me to read books. My mother supported me by saying, "Oh my son, you should study fairy tales." In the beginning, she just told me the fairy tales and their meanings. When I turned six, I also started to read fairy tales. By the time I turned seven, I transitioned from storybooks to encyclopedias and specific science-related books. We still have a small library that is well-preserved. After reading one book, we collect them on our shelf, and now the number of books is more than hundreds, maybe even thousands. I also realized that heroes don't always have floating cloaks or lasers shooting out of their eyes. At that time, I truly understood that my mother was my hero, and she continues to contribute to my success in a positive way. I cannot describe all of my feelings because I was over the moon after passing my reading exams, thanks to my mother's support. That situation felt like a once-in-a-lifetime event, but my mother always considered it as taking candy from a baby. It was too easy for her. After reading books, my Uzbek vocabulary really improved, and now, from my perspective, it feels like the cherry on the cake.
