Poetry from Daniela Chourio-Soto

The sailor

I hold myself back, I hold myself back
While they leap on ropes of flowers,
I remain seated on the old wooden bench.

I know they see me as a living shadow.
I sense it, I perceive it.

I want to escape,
I want to run desesperately,
But I’m stuck and cursed to be on this bench.

My feet have no motivation
Against this painful, bipolar breeze
My words,
Confused and clumsy,
Is an old gray chain of lies
That only sinks and sinks deeper into the sea.

I see it,
Every time the chain experiences
Different layers of state and light.

When it’s deep,
It wants to return to its ship,
But it’s stuck,
And every creature will know.

The sailor, owner of the chain,
Watches how all sailors and pirates
Have their chains beside them,
Clear and new.

They explore more of the sea without stopping,
But the sailor is stuck.

She believed that by talking more
About his treasure chest,
She could got on others ships,
So she searched thinking in just one place to find a chest,
With abundance,
“The things the sailor doesn’t have”
Simply to make other sailors’ eyes shine,
And finally be accepted

Among their luxurious suits and ships.

The sailor looks around.

Around her,
Some wait for the expected treasure,
But all the sailors around are slowly leaving.

Sure,
And now they leave and are free,
While the sailor is stuck.

The sailor regrets and wishes extreme happiness for them through clenched teeth.

Dystopian norm

We are programmed robots; when the time comes, we just walk, following what the norm order.
“Norms” says: do all we say in a few seconds and devastate your fingerprints until there’s
nothing left.
Don’t close your eyes and follow one method.
“Norms” says: have the same brain, with red lines intertwined, full of memories, genetics, and
experience equal to the others.
Keep it, Keep it to yourself.

For the, we have bunnies red ayes,
Machinery that needs to be fixed.
For us they are gluttons.
The more robots they create, the more they cover the country with their bodies.
Then we are stuck to these invisible webs.
Then what will happen?
We will sink into the dirty earth we didn’t create.


Underground

They cover their eyes involuntarily,
and walk over them as if they were earth.
You, the ones who will never consider yourselves nothing,
float slowly in turbulent water.

No one is born to not be seen.
While they laugh in luxury,
you, the invisibles, work in the shadows
behind their big backs,
only to receive a step on the hand, something admirable.

Oh, nobody’s, you keep living in filth.
And no one will stop the rage I feel
when clenching my teeth and closing my mouth.
Not only in me: between blood and blood,

the rage of their avengers and descendants
will become more fulminescent
and will explode on their pretty and rare porcelain

THE ROLE OF EDUCATION IN DEVELOPING THE LEGAL THINKING OF YOUNG LAWYERS

Abstract: This article explores the role of education in shaping the legal thinking of young lawyers. It examines how legal education influences professional identity, critical analysis, and ethical decision-making in the modern legal sphere.

Keywords: legal thinking, education, law students, professional development, legal culture, justice.

Introduction

Legal education is one of the main factors that determine the intellectual and moral image of future lawyers. In the process of learning, students not only acquire theoretical knowledge of law but also develop the ability to think critically, make fair decisions, and understand the essence of justice. Therefore, education plays a key role in shaping the legal consciousness and professional worldview of young lawyers.

Main Part

1. The importance of education in legal thinking

Education provides young lawyers with the foundation to interpret laws correctly, analyze legal situations, and apply justice in practice. Through continuous learning and legal research, students form a systematic understanding of the legal system and its principles.

2. The role of universities and educators

Universities are not only centers of knowledge but also platforms for developing legal culture. Teachers play a decisive role in inspiring students to respect law and human rights. Practical lessons, moot courts, and case studies help young lawyers form independent and analytical legal thinking.

3. Moral and ethical aspects A true lawyer must not only know the law but also possess strong ethical values. Education helps students distinguish between legality and morality, promoting responsibility and integrity in legal practice.

Conclusion

In conclusion, education is the main driving force in developing the legal thinking of young lawyers. Through a well-organized educational system and value-based teaching, it is possible to raise a generation of competent, fair, and responsible legal professionals who will contribute to building a just society.

Odilova Odinakhon Khomidjon qizi was born on April 4, 2008, in Balikchi district, Andijan region. She graduated from School No. 4 in her district and is currently a second-year student at the Namangan State Law Lyceum under Tashkent State University of Law (TSUL).

From an early age, Odina has been deeply interested in the field of law. She holds a certificate confirming her proficiency in English and has received several diplomas and letters of commendation in academic lyceum competitions. Her ultimate goal is to become a highly qualified legal specialist and to earn her place in international legal arbitration as a competent and respected professional.

Finding Myself: A Journey of Perseverance and Hope

Life rarely unfolds the way we expect. Sometimes, the dreams we once thought were within reach drift away, only to return stronger when we decide not to give up. My story is not about perfection — it is about persistence, patience, and believing that even the smallest step forward can lead to a brighter tomorrow.

Over the past year, I have discovered that growth begins when comfort ends. I used to be shy and uncertain, but through learning English, I found not just a language — I found a voice. A voice that allowed me to express my dreams, to share my ideas, and to connect with the world. Alongside my studies, I have learned the value of patience and the quiet power of consistency. Life has taught me that even slow progress is progress, and that self-belief is the foundation of all success.

My current goal is to achieve the Navoiy State Scholarship — a symbol of hard work, knowledge, and national pride. To reach it, I actively participate in international conferences, translate short stories, and publish articles about self-development. Each article I write is not just an academic task, but a reflection of my journey — my struggles, my small victories, and my endless curiosity. Every translation I do opens a new window to another world, teaching me empathy, culture, and the beauty of words.

Yet, this journey has not been easy. In 2023, when I entered university on a contract basis, I felt broken. My family could not afford my tuition, and for a moment, my dreams seemed too far away. But I refused to give in to despair. Instead, I took a step forward — I started teaching English at an education center. That decision changed everything. In 2024, I began teaching at another institution, improving my skills, gaining experience, and learning that every hardship hides an opportunity.

Those early days were not simple. I remember preparing lessons late at night, studying in between classes, and pushing myself to do more each day. There were times when exhaustion whispered that I should stop, but hope kept me moving. And in time, I achieved something I once thought impossible — financial independence. I learned that even when life closes doors, persistence can build new ones.

Today, I look back not with regret, but with gratitude. I am endlessly thankful to my family — especially my parents — who have been my greatest supporters. When the world doubted me, they didn’t. Their love became my strength, their belief became my wings. I am also grateful to every obstacle that once made me cry — because each one shaped me into who I am today.

Now, as a third-year university student, I am more focused than ever. My dream extends beyond personal success. I want to launch educational projects that inspire young people to love books, to seek knowledge, and to believe in their own potential. I want to show them that learning is not a burden, but a path to freedom.

After graduation, I plan to pursue a Master’s degree and continue researching, writing, and teaching. But above all, I want to remain curious — to keep learning, growing, and evolving. Because to me, life’s true success is not about reaching the top, but about becoming the best version of oneself through honesty, effort, and compassion.

Dreams are not meant for those who wait — they belong to those who believe, work, and never stop learning. And I have promised myself: I will never stop.

Essay from Solijonova Dildorakhon

Shortcomings of Service Quality in Uzbekistan’s Tourism Sector

Tashkent State University of Oriental Studies, Master’s Degree, 2nd Year, Solijonova Dildorakhon Shakhobiddin girl

Young Central Asian woman in a blue jacket and headscarf and black pants and sandals seated on a green lawn near a tree outside a large building.

Introduction

In today’s era of globalization, the tourism sector plays a vital role in the economic and cultural life of countries around the world. Uzbekistan, being one of the countries with great potential in this sphere, has identified tourism development as one of its priority directions. The government has adopted a number of laws and decrees to create favorable conditions for tourists. However, a number of shortcomings related to the quality of services still hinder the full realization of the country’s tourism potential.

Main Part

1. Lack of qualified service personnel In many tourist zones of Uzbekistan, service providers — including guides, hotel, and restaurant staff — are not sufficiently trained to meet modern standards. In particular, the lack of foreign language knowledge and poor service ethics leave a negative impression on tourists. Consequently, this reduces the desire of foreign visitors to return to the country.

2. Underdeveloped infrastructure Tourism infrastructure includes hotels, transportation, communication systems, the internet, and banking services. Unfortunately, in some regions of Uzbekistan — especially in remote areas — this infrastructure is not yet fully developed. Poor road conditions and the absence of clear signposts cause inconvenience for tourists traveling to these destinations.

3. Weak service culture One of the most important aspects of tourism is service culture. Proper communication, polite behavior, discipline, and hygiene are among the main factors determining service quality. Unfortunately, in some places, this culture has not been properly formed or remains at a low level.

4. Imbalance between price and quality In many tourist services, prices are relatively high while quality remains low. This is especially evident in hotels and catering establishments, where there is a noticeable mismatch between cost and quality. Such a situation causes dissatisfaction among tourists and reduces competitiveness.

5. Limited use of digitalization and modern technologies In today’s digital age, tourism services must also be provided through internet and mobile technologies. However, many services are still offered in traditional ways. Online booking, virtual guiding, and electronic payment systems have not been fully introduced in most areas, which prevents meeting the needs of modern travelers.

Conclusion

Service quality is a key factor in ensuring the long-term success of Uzbekistan’s tourism sector. If the problems mentioned above are systematically addressed, the number of tourists will increase, and the country’s economy will significantly strengthen.

To achieve this, it is essential to implement the following measures: Improve the system of training and preparing service personnel; Modernize tourism infrastructure; Introduce digital services and technologies; Raise awareness of service culture among the local population.

Poetry from Christina Chin


the last quarter moon—

silhouette of a hunter 

shooting a wild boar

a crescent moon 

carves a scoop in the darkness 

the stork’s cry echoes 

night without the moon— 

the lighthouse keeper watches migrating kestrel 

hydrangea sunrise— 

the drowning bee’s wing 

hums in the bird fountain

my adenium root 

rots after the monsoon rain

gardener’s regret

approaching typhoon 

sweeps the path of growling wind

yellow broom blossoms

Poetry from Luis Fernando Quiroz

Middle aged Latino man in a green collared shirt with short dark hair outside on a green lawn with green trees in the background.

THE WITCH WAS CAUGHT BY DAYLIGHT

The light caught her. 

Something erased the spell, 

and a mystery remained scattered in the early morning. 

I saw her pass swiftly,

her broom in a hurry through the mist and the shacks. 

She wanted to break the spell of the night, 

But the oracle dispelled the curse. 

She did not return. 

Perhaps she remained imprisoned in the fog of oblivion.
