– In 2019, you became a member of Fulbright Foreign Student program. Could you tell us what preceded it? – The first thoughts about getting a foreign education arose when I was a student at Kazakhstan university. However, at that time, they had not yet acquired a clearly defined character. Around this time, I began to improve my English and started visiting the American Corner in Kostanay, where I met Peace Corps volunteers and many other enthusiastic participants. There I met Anna Blum, who ran the corner, and learned about the Fulbright program for the first time. At the same time, I decided to apply for participation.
