First of all, to kick things off, I want to mention that I’m a Yank now and I didn’t make a lot of decisions yet because my life is probably average. I sleep, I eat, I train, I study and I repeat all that we’ve seen. So, only sometimes I have some special days where I have to make some special things, some special decisions but I will tell you about some decisions that I have made already. I have several of them. First, when I was a child, I was studying in a simple school and I really had some wish to study in a Nazarbayev school. It is the best school in our country and every child wants to study there. So, also me. I was trying my best to pass an exams. Sometimes I was studying hard but unfortunately I didn’t pass exams so I stayed in my school, in a simple school but I don’t really regret because if that happens, it means that it should happen. So, it is the first and the last one I think it is the decision that I made in several days. It is I decided to study in Germany because now it is really serious, important moments now and I decided to study in a countryside and I decided to study in other countries and learn a new language as English and other.

First of all, to kick things off, I want to mention that I'm a Yank now and I haven't made a lot of decisions yet because my life is probably average. I sleep, I eat, I train, I study, and I repeat all that we've seen. Only sometimes I have special days where I have to make special decisions, but I will tell you about some decisions that I have made already. I have several of them. First, when I was a child, I was studying in a simple school and I really had a wish to study in a Nazarbayev school. It is the best school in our country, and every child wants to study there, including me. I was trying my best to pass the exams. Sometimes I studied hard, but unfortunately, I didn't pass the exams, so I stayed in my school, in a simple school. However, I don't really regret it because if that happened, it means it should happen. So, that is the first decision. The last one, I think, is the decision I made recently. I decided to study in Germany because now it is a really serious, important moment for me. I decided to study in the countryside and learn a new language, such as English and others.
