I would like to talk about a plan that I had to change. It was several years ago when I was younger, around 18 or 19 years old. At that time, I wanted to become a translator. I entered the University of World Languages to study Chinese Philology because I already knew English quite well. I wanted to learn one more language to become a professional multilingual translator, as Chinese was developing at that time and has since grown significantly, with many companies opening. I graduated in this field and wanted to become a translator, so I went to several places. Unfortunately, when I graduated, there weren't many companies in my hometown, Bukhara. That's why I couldn't find a job in this field. Instead, I pursued a career teaching Chinese and working as a guide. When I moved to Tashkent, my husband didn't allow me to continue my career as a translator, so I had to change my job to teaching. I wanted to become a Chinese teacher, but at that moment, there was only one school that taught Chinese. When I applied, there wasn't any place for Chinese teachers. That's why I needed to change my plan.
