I faced many challenges in my life, but one of them is very memorable for me. It's the change in my life because it directly affected my life and enhanced the quality of my life. It happened when I was trying to be chosen for the team of Azerbaijan to represent my country on the international stage. This OEMPAT was a Balkan Mathematical OEMPAT, so there was a team selection test. This team selection test was very difficult. When I was unsuccessful in the team selection test in 2023, in 2022, I was not selected to represent my country in this OEMPAT. But after this challenge, I realized that there are many challenging topics, so I needed to deal with them. I needed to solve some problems to tackle this massive challenge because it required problem-solving skills. There were six questions over two days, and each day we needed to solve three problems. We had four hours and 30 minutes to solve these problems, so I think it demonstrates a challenge that I faced. In the end, after many working days and studying various topics, I was able to be selected for the team to represent my country in the Balkan Mathematical OEMPAT. It was a very cherished moment for me and also an exciting moment to represent my country. After I was selected, I was proud of myself and satisfied with this achievement. Additionally, I received a bronze medal from this OEMPAT. Because of this, I was able to earn the bronze medal.
