Beeing awarded with “Oltin qalam” (“The
Golden Pencil”) was one of the most unforgettable
experiences of my life. I had the opportunity to
meet many candidates of the competition from
all over the country. I started working at the local
newspaper office where I ultimately became
extremely involved. It has only been 7 years since
I began working as a newspaper reporter and since
my involvement, I have developed a strong fervour
and energy for the objectives promoted by the “ Oltin
qalam” organization. I feel honoured and blessed
that I was chosen as a semi-finalist of the contest.
I experienced so much and participated in new
and exciting activities that have changed my life. I
had the privilege to compete in the “Oltin qalam”
competition after becoming a winner. Through
competition I had the chance to encounter many
talented youth from across the country and got a
chance to experience life and culture from their
perspective. I could’t win in the final competition,
but I did get a chance to see a clump of celebrities!
Being a participant of that competition not only
opened my eyes to the obstacles that we, as youth,
have to overcome, but it demonstrated the obstacles
that we have in front of us. Also, I was privileged
to meet and hear many accomplished professionals,
famous journalists speak about different issues and
help boost our motivation.
One of the memorable quotations which
motivated me was Bo Jackson’s. His powerful and
motivational quotation that “ Set your goals high, and
don’t stop till you get there” still linger in my soul
and w ill motivate me for a long time. Winning that
award was so encouraging and uplifting because it
not only assured me that my hard work was paying
off, but it assured me that my work was in alignment
with organization.
Overall, my week in Tashkent was marvellous. I
know that the work does not stop here, nor does the
load lighten. I understand the significance of hard
work and tenacity demonstrated by those who have
come before me. It is my duty to take my experience
to the newspaper and use it to motivate myself.
