New Year Song 

The caravan of the long road, 
Choose a pure address, 
Purify every person, 
Every year when the last month comes. 

Joy fills my heart, 
When every New Year comes, 
Spring is coming to my life, 
When I hear a message from you. 

I wait patiently 
My love remains with a deficit, 
A year passes with algebra, 
Grief, sadness when strength comes. 

This is how I spend my life 
I'm secretly worried 
My heart just laughs 
When your voice comes. 

I have a wish my love, 
Get out, my grief, 
You be mine, I'll be yours, 
When our soul is the same.
 
Let's sing a new song 
Let's knit verse by verse, 
Let's create a poem, an epic, 
When every New Year comes.

We are the creators of the future!

      We know that the 21st century is an era of intellectual development. The uplifting force of this development is young people, that is, people with high intelligence. Of course, today there is a great responsibility towards the creators of the future. After all, according to President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, “In order for our youth to become independent thinkers, have high intellectual and spiritual potential, become people who are not inferior to their peers in any field on a global scale, our state and society should be happy. We will mobilize all the possibilities of strength”, his words serve as a program for us. Being among such young people, I am proud to see the development of our country day and night. In my opinion, it is natural for every person who considers himself a child of the new Uzbekistan to have a question at this moment: how did I contribute to the development of my country?! Whatever I do, even if it’s a little, will benefit my people?! In order to find answers to such questions, I took a pen in my hand and began to write down my goals on a white paper.

First of all, as they say, “A job without a plan is a brick without a mold”, a person should make his plans so that all the good deeds he thinks about from early in the morning will be good. And the plans become more and more great goals. And I strive for not daily, but annual prospective goals. I want these targeted plans to serve not only me, but also the development of my country.

Secondly, no country can rise without sports and science. These two concepts will always accompany me. Of course, sport is a guarantee of health. Every young generation who plays sports follows a healthy lifestyle. Only healthy and strong youth can protect the country. As our elders say, “If there is knowledge, there will be greatness”, even a young person like me in the ranks of the youth of Uzbekistan will mobilize all my energy to acquire knowledge.

Thirdly, it is the effective use of the doors of opportunity created for young people and, most importantly, the supreme gift of time. “If you love life, don’t waste time, because time creates life,” said one of the philosophers. Today, the lives and work of famous people who have achieved great success in their field show that one of the main keys to their success is their ability to allocate time correctly. If time is spent in vain during the youth years, the opportunity to gain knowledge is also lost. Our today will become history tomorrow. The services and happy deeds of each person for their people will be forever imprinted in the history. Therefore, we, the creators of the future, appreciate our time, which is more valuable than gold, and achieve high goals!

It should be said that young people who are in tune with the times are leading in every field today. Of course, it is impossible to count the opportunities created for us today. I would like to put forward a proposal to hold the traditional republican competition “Sprouts of Future” in order to pay attention to young people capable of achieving greater goals and in order to support young people in every way. Because, you say, there are many different auditions. However, unlike them, this competition is organized among young people who have achieved more or less success in the field of science and education, literature and sports and have limited opportunities to show their talent. Because they, like you and us, are the bright future generations of Uzbekistan!

In conclusion, it should be said that we, the youth, are the hope of a great country. If we don’t waste time and fulfill the huge task in front of us wholeheartedly, no crowd, no foreign ideas can stand in our way. Everything is in our hands. After all, as our President said, “We have set ourselves the great goal of establishing the foundation of the Third Renaissance in our country, for this we need to educate new Khorezms, Berunis, Ibn Sinas, Ulugbeks, Navoi and Babur!” We are the worthy successors of such ancestors and will be the mirror of the future of New Uzbekistan!

Our family is our support and inspiration

  Our family people in life we can trust and rely on. Family is very essential part of our life. It doesn’t matter if you have a small or a big family, as a long as you have one. A family serves as the first school to the child where one learns about various things. All the good habits and manners one has incorporated are from their family only. I feel very lucky to be born in a family which has made me a better person. In my opinion our family is very essential part of our being. Family is essential as they help in our growth. They develop us into becoming a complete person with an individual identity. Family is a blessing not everyone is fortunate enough to have. However those who do sometimes do not value this blessing. Some people spend time away from the family in order to become independent.

    My family has been always by my side in ups and downs. They have taught me how to be a better person. I really respect and love them. I thank them because they always support me and they are an integral part of my life.

       My mother

You are the meaning of my Life

You are the joy of my world

He opened his arms and said, My daughter

You are the opener. 

Worried every second

Growing up

When I was sick

Be my propeller. 

Sowing the seeds of hope

Shining like the sun

Spreading the smell of heaven

Take your prayers. 

If you are upset

Not noticeable to us

I am the only one in the world

My dearest mother without you.

We are children together
  Gifts from & to
    Each receiving
      within & through

We are children together
  Lifts my feet
    Intuition, Premonition
    Lots of Stuff 

       I claim disgust,
         doubts & failed
               my own
                   Trust.

I blame myself 
   & find You in
        my mirror.

  Focus draws shame
    from the seeds of
   Doubt sewn
nearest my trusted desire.

Blame myself &
   Lost my picture of
                        You
Alone I find reflection 
     in experience 
& I can stop tilting
         the scales.

It is what it was
   as the present
       slides into
           the Future.

Don't tell me
 I'll find out soon enough!
