Poetry from Mark Young

The Contender

& so, eventually,

come back or make

a comeback. Such

area contained within

that (missing) space.

Comeback means

trying to get back

to where you were

& hope you make it.

Come back implies

you never left there.

Blink

A participle of

movement. The

running man. Snap-

shot open to

interpretation. Statement

given, vision

attached. Nothing

in it. Wait for. Wait for

the man to pass

by. Ask. Why? State-

ment means nothing.

Formulaic

Look, she said, I

know you’ve got

all these fancy ideas

about structure &

trochees & the

lengths of breaths

but they’re all

far too complex

for me to compre-

hend. My way

is simpler. Go

down to the

beach to do

your writing &

put in a line

break every time

a beautiful body

passes by.

from a past life

Rain, finally, after months of dry. Bucketing down. So dark I turn the lights on at 1.30 p.m. only to have them go out five minutes later as the power goes off. Thunder & lightning, directly overhead, only nanoseconds between flash & crash, not even enough time to say one thousand one. I sit in the open area beneath the house, some meters back but not far enough to escape the rain which sweeps in everywhere. I do not care. The gutters flood. Through a blurring curtain falling off the roof I watch the water start to lap over the edges of the pool. Ten minutes ago it was several centimeters lower down. The cat cowers under another chair. The turtles of the Woolwash Lagoon will be hurrying to lay their eggs. At the first sign of rain . . . Branches break off trees. There are no birds.



The storm moves away. The birds return. The power takes another twenty minutes.

Meanwhile, in the Ozarks

Metal brackets, 18 carat

white gold men’s wedding

ring, no glitch. Advanced

technology, the image

printed directly onto can-

vas, rounded & beveled,

art deco style. Any euphem-

ism for describing queer

people. A real all rounder.

——————————————————–

the end of this parade

i had a therapist tell me

that writing out my pain

would be a good thing

he was one of these fucks

that was never interested

in what i had to say

only wanted to make sure

the money was good

and people wonder why i drink

i feel like i can see

the end of this parade

that the light in the tunnel

is a fucking train and i feel

no desire to get off the tracks

i tell my mother there is

no reason to fear death

it is only the natural

conclusion of life

i don’t know how to be

a hypocrite on this one

i close my eyes and

accept the pain

i could care about

what comes next

but then again,

if i’m dead…

—————————————————

hoping to look cool

frank used to make

his saxophone howl

on a saturday night

i used to stand there

smoking a cigarette

hoping to look cool

putting pen to paper

when the moment

would arrive

there was a drunk

woman that took

my pen one night

i was hoping she

was going to write

her number down

on my hand

she threw it across

the street where it

got run over by

a car

i’m sure she has

kids now that bitch

about their kids and

all the school taxes

frank died a few

years later

and i haven’t been

back there in years

i did learn though

to hide my fucking

pen from the drunks

———————————————–

last nickel to my name

maybe love is a dragon

misunderstood and pissed

off about it

any delicate nature isn’t

tolerated anymore

as usual i am lost

broken and disheveled

last nickel to my name

a glass of scotch and

a clove cigarette for

that last reminder

of my youth

she was a snare drum

in a long solo from

coltrane

how she ever found me

will remain a mystery

i probably will never

get the chance to

read it

most likely

i am just a footnote

a chapter that some editor

will mark as not necessary

for the final edition

—————————————————

never cool enough to enjoy

two in the

morning

alone

it feels like

morning is

just another

reason to die

love is some

distant rumor

you were never

cool enough to

enjoy

once you got to

the second hand

of dead friends

you stopped

counting the

ones that beat

you to it

so many years

behind you that

the truth slaps

you and never

in the way you

would like

a cold reality

jack and coke

old reruns of

austin city limits

just hoping for the

right song to start

playing

————————————————

hoping for some kind of reply

i can remember the

quiet nights waking

up alone

thinking of you on

the other side of the

world

all the damn messages

sent

hoping for some kind

of reply

even a fuck you is

better than the waiting,

hoping

what good is this instant

society if you still believe

in smoke signals

the blinding sun and

a bottle across the top

of your head out of

nowhere

the average man

would take that

as a sign

i was blessed with

stubborn genes

i hope one day

someone can

appreciate that

Poetry from Christopher Bernard

The Creation of Hope


Take a memory.
Add a thought,
a handful of questions,
and five tears.

Add the wings
of a mourning dove, 
a cruel caress,
a love, a lie,

a betrayed promise,
an aimless rage,
three sleepless nights,
and seven years.

Place in a pan, that,
each summer wide,
is ten winters long.

Finally, dust 
with a cloud of doubt.

Place in the oven
of a heart that is broken,

and bake for an hour
or a lifetime.

*

You will know it is done
when the stars are brighter
than when you began,

when the sea chants
to the sleeping hill

and blind with morning
is the sun,

when the birds dance
in the sky and shout
with castanets
gold and shrill,

when the snake slips
from its curdled skin,

and the chrysalis 
peels back to free
the Monarch’s brief,
painful beauty,

and you see an angel
cross the sky,
its wings transparent
as a dragonfly’s,

when, with the sun,
the old earth leaps
in the savage dance
of all beginnings,

and you wake, weeping
with a wild joy,
wondering where
your despair has died.

Take a spoon
of distant sigh,
silver whisper,
finch’s cry,

and feast on it,
o dearest love,

on the shortest day 
of the longest year, 
at the darkest hour 
of the deepest night.

Black Sea and War: How does Russian aggression affect the Black Sea ecosystem?

In 2022, the Ukrainian South became a theater of active warfare. This, in its turn, couldn’t pass without leaving a mark on ecology, as Russians fight dirtily, not sparing shells and pressuring with numbers instead of accuracy. The war is still being fought, and part of the Ukrainian South is still under occupation, but scientists try to keep their finger on the pulse. Kunsht has visited Mykhailo Son, a Doctor of Biology, and a leading scientist at The Institute of Marine Biology of NASU in Odesa.

Three years ago, the Institute lived through a horrible fire that took the lives of the Institute employees, valuable collections, and scientific materials. Nowadays, the institute is scattered around the city. Mr. Mykhailo has agreed to meet us in the administrative building.

Our conversation began with a general evaluation of the situation. The scientist marked that war is a double-edged sword. On one hand, ecology suffers from battles, sunk ships, artillery shells, and destroyed industrial facilities. But on the other hand, because of the limits on fishing, mining, paralyzed tourism, and construction on the coast, the sea has a chance for revival, especially in those coastal areas where there are no active battles. 

An analysis of the consequences of war on the marine ecosystem is complicated by many factors. First, it’s impossible to evaluate the situation in the occupied territories. And the Azov Sea is occupied as a whole. It’s hard to know what consequences the ruining of the industrial Mariupol and coastal Azovstal has led to. Second, in the territories under Ukrainian control, a lot of zones are controlled by the military, and there are many mine barriers, so the research isn’t currently done there. Last year, the Institute of Marine Biology was able to do research only in the delta of the Danube, northern parts of the estuaries (Tylihulsky, Sukhy, Kuyalnytsky, Hryhoriivsky), and a small part of the sea near the mouth of the Danube that was opened for fishing. Third, during the war, both national and international ecological institutions are weakened, and monitoring and research get interrupted. Ukraine was planning to inaugurate complex monitoring of the marine ecosystem in 2022, under the efforts for Eurointegration. The research should have been done by Borys Aleksandrov, a ship gifted to Ukraine by Belgium, but its launch was postponed because of the war. Fourth, the analysis of the ecological situation has to be done with a complex analysis of all the sources, including the Russian ones, and they are impossible to take into consideration now, given that when Russia gives data on “Russian Black Sea territory” in its reports, this includes the occupied territories. Because of this confusion, the International Black Sea Commission (which includes all the countries on the coast of the Black Sea) cannot work correctly.

All these factors complicate the analysis a lot, but the scientists try out alternative methods of research – for instance, using satellite imagery to evaluate the extent of sea pollution because of war based on the color of the water.  

The marine environment differs in that it’s not as mosaic as the land one. This means that in the mountains, forests, and lakes small habitats with unique species that are easy to destroy are much more common. The sea has very vast monotonous stretches. If a part of some habitat is damaged it will renew soon. But the marine ecosystem is also vulnerable, especially in the lagoons, estuaries, bays, and coastal areas. In the depth of the Black Sea, there are unique fields with the Phyllophora algae that create landscapes with valuable biota. “Such vast zones of continuous algal biocoenoses outside of the tidal zone of the coast are unique. The Sargasso Sea can be considered an analog of such an ecosystem. Such vast clusters of Phyllophora and corresponding groups of animals that colonize them don’t exist anywhere else in the world,” – Mr. Mykhailo explains. Last year’s hostilities were a direct threat to them.   

Zmiiny Isle is one more victim of this war. The battles for it were rather intensive as it was the key to the opening of the grain corridor. Once, it could boast of unique rocks with peculiar biota that differed from Crimea and the Odesa region. *Any islands form unique ecosystems due to their isolation from the continent. This uniqueness may also stem from the paucity of their biota. Then, the biodiversity is lower and there are species that take the niches of others. If the island is big, this triggers evolution with formation of new species. Zmiiny has landscapes of “hard” rocks (metamorphic rocks), and due to this its biological formations resemble those characteristic to the Crimean rocks in their function. Nonetheless, it is situated in the zone of lower salinity (like all the north-west parts of the Black Sea), and many of the species characteristic of Crimea are absent here. In consequence, a specific group is formed that differs from others, for example, by high numbers of the warty crab and the marbled rock crab and a presence of marine lichens. Part of the rocks is physically destroyed. The birds also used Zmiiny to rest, especially those that don’t use to visit the continent. Currently, scientists can’t evaluate the scale of the damage to the island’s ecosystem, as all the monitoring and research missions on it are stopped. Before the invasion, a biological station of the university was functioning there (it researched the spread of viruses in birds among other things), and the employees of the Institute of Marine Biology use to visit the island.

The topic of the anomalously high death rate among dolphins and porpoises in the Black Sea has probably become most known to the public. Ecologists hypothesize that active combat is a possible reason for this, as the animals react to underwater waves, sounds of explosions, and the work of sonars. Mr. Mykhailo notes that the topic needs verified scientific research, and, fortunately, it is happening. It’s one of the few instances when scientists were allowed to do research for a criminal investigation. The scientists from the Institute of Zoology of NASU took samples of different brain tissues of the animals. The molecular samples are currently being researched in Europe.

One more ecologically vulnerable habitat is Kakhovka Reservoir; Russians barbarously drop big amounts of water from it. This may damage the ecosystem of the Reservoir itself, bringing disbalance to its hydrological and oxygen regime, and the lower area of Dnipro under the dam, including its delta, can become a victim of flooding, which brings the risks of polluting the water with trash and industrial waste.

Mr. Mykhailo dreams that, after the war, it will be possible to launch the sea monitoring system, which will give accurate and full data, and the institute will be able to use them for its specialized research.

Mr. Mykhailo answers the question of what is needed to evaluate the consequences of war for ecosystems like this: “First of all, of course, we need access to the sea, and we also need funding for the expeditions and equipment. At the current stage, we can use new scientific methods that aren’t yet practiced in Ukraine, for example, genetic research that can show a short-term impact on an organism. **Such an indicator for pollution may be, for example, transcriptomics – an analysis of the totality of the RNA that is formed in a cell based on the genetic code in DNA. This shows, for instance, differences in expression of genes connected to immunity. Other possible analyses are an analysis of the proteins characteristic of stress, an analysis of the number of mutations, including chromosome abnormalities, incorrect work of the mitosis mechanism and abnormalities in the structure of the cell membranes.  This may show if the organism is under stress, or whether there are influences of toxic chemicals and so on.”

After our conversation, we went to the beach in Odesa – that part of it where you can go without a military convoy. Public utility workers approached us and warned us that a mine could be washed on the shore. They let us stay but asked us to be careful. Passers-by from Odesa couldn’t miss an opportunity for a joke and told us to bring all the mines to their scrap metal collecting spot.

In a couple of hours, Mr. Mykhailo, having solved all his work issues, was able to join us with his research equipment. On the beach, he dug some sand looking for a Donacilla mollusk. They didn’t come all the way to Odesa shores as the tourists accidentally destroyed them, but after a dead tourism season, the researchers started to find specimens of this species on the beaches of the city. 

We weren’t lucky enough to find a Donacilla, but Mr. Mykhailo found Zostera sea grass washed on the shore nearby that used to be rare on the city beaches for decades.

In a pile of seashells, Mr. Mykhailo picked up those of Black Sea oysters. An invasive species of Rapana has almost destroyed this species.

One of the versions says that Rapanas appeared in the Black Sea at the end of the 1940s because of WWII. First, Japan had contact with Italy, and its fleet brought Rapana from the Japanese to the Adriatic Sea. And then, when the USSR took a part of the Italian fleet as reparations, they brought this carnivorous mollusk with it, which had a big impact on the ecosystem of the Black Sea.

Mr. Mykhailo mentions the Crimean War, where the cavalry had an important role, in this context. Forage and hay for the horses were brought there from all over Europe, and this way a whole number of new plants appeared in Crimea. 

The current war also brings great risks of the appearance of invasive species. Russians bring warships from the Baltic and Caspian Seas to the Black Sea. Russian oil is being transported by new routes under the sanctions. It may be, that one of the consequences of the full-scale Russian invasion will be a vast-scale appearance of new invasive species in our ecosystems.

Teacher’s status in new Uzbekistan, problems and solutions in the new stage of education

Primary education teacher of the 27th general secondary school under the department of pre-school and school education, Khatirchi district, Navoi region 

“If the role and influence of the teacher in the life of society increases, the prestige of the school increases, the value of science, education and upbringing increases. The teacher’s reputation is the reputation of this nation, the whole people.”

Sh.M. Mirziyoyev 

Abstract: This article provides information on the teacher’s skills, his unique role in society, the problem of continuous professional development and the role of the teacher in its solutions.

Keywords: Skilled teacher, skilled nation, continuous professional development, …

      The teaching profession is a complex and responsible process. The honor and complexity of this profession is determined by the fact that the teacher is always engaged in the education and upbringing of the person who is the only owner of consciousness, communicates with him, contributes to his mental, spiritual and physical growth and development. shows the effect of z. Of course, a student who has reached maturity in all aspects can unite under the name of a qualified nation.That is why the teaching profession is the most delicate, the most honorable and at the same time the most difficult profession in the world. It is necessary for the teacher to constantly improve his qualifications and cultivate his personal qualities that help ensure his success at a high level. The place and role of a teacher for society is incomparable. Their level leads the society either to the bottom or to the top. “The task of a teacher and leader is similar to the task of a wise state leader, therefore, the teacher should remember everything he heard and saw, have intelligence, fluent speech, full of ideas that he wants to tell the teachers and must know how to express clearly. At the same time, he should value his honor and be fair. Only then will he have a high level of humanity and reach the peak of happiness,” says our grandfather Abu Nasr Al-Farobi.

     The new version of our Constitution, which is a solid legal foundation of the reforms of the new Uzbekistan, and the “Uzbekistan – 2030” strategy, approved by the relevant decree of the head of state, specifically mention the task of raising the status of pedagogues. The fact that this issue is not just an expression of beautiful wishes decorated on paper, but a firm life goal is becoming more evident day by day during consistent reforms. The law “On the status of pedagogues” signed yesterday by our President can be called a historical confirmation of our opinion. This law, consisting of 21 articles, defines the rights, obligations and basic guarantees of the activities of about 700 thousand pedagogues in our country.This law made all teachers in the Republic of Uzbekistan very happy and created wide opportunities. Along with several opportunities and advantages, the law does not ignore the need for pedagogues to follow the rules of ethics while fulfilling their professional obligations. Knowing and following the rules of pedagogical ethics is noted as a criterion that determines the quality indicators of the teacher’s performance of his professional duties and work discipline.

     As noted by our hero poet Abdulla Oripov, a teacher is a mirror of perfection. This mirror should be so clear, that by looking at it, he should improve himself and his personality, get rid of his vices, and bring order to his character. Naturally, not everyone is lucky enough to be a true mirror of perfection for society. Because of this, the law contains specific norms about persons who are not allowed to engage in pedagogic activities.

     Continuing professional development has several challenges and corresponding solutions. In order to study these problems and find solutions, the teacher, every person in the field of education needs to have high experience. The following solutions can help you find solutions to problems in continuous professional development:

1. References, Articles and Books: Use articles, books and textbooks to find solutions to your professional development problems. You can get the necessary knowledge and practical advice from these sources.

2. Mentorship or Referral: Reaching out to people with other professional experience or mentoring them can enhance your experience. They will give you advice and help you find solutions to problems.

3. Practical Skills: Developing your skills is essential to finding solutions to professional development challenges. Upgrade your character and learn new skills.

4. Analysis and Diagnosing: Analyzing and identifying problems leads to diversity solutions. Articulate problems and define steps to turn them into profits.

5. Hands-on Exercises: Hands-on exercises and examples are helpful in solving development problems. Use practical exercises to test your skills.

6. Gain experience: Gaining experience is very important in finding solutions to problems. Have fun trying and learning new clues and solutions!

7. Internet Resources: Use Internet resources, forums, blogs, videos, and websites to find solutions to development problems.

Finding solutions to problems in continuous professional development also requires a certain amount of time and patience. Steps like analyzing the problems, defining different steps to be solved and searching for practical solutions will guide you in your success on this front.

     In short, a teacher is a hugely responsible, free-thinking and growing knowledge holder. Modernity is its mandatory quality, as much as it is a demand for knowledge. In other words, if knowledge is not adapted to the current times, its usefulness and relevance will decrease. Therefore, a broad worldview, free thinking and modernity are mandatory professional requirements of a teacher.

Essay from Saidova Mahzuna

WORK ON THE VOCABULARIES GIVEN IN TEXTBOOKS 

     Saidova is Mahzuna Farhod’s daughter

Shahrisabz State Pedagogical Institute

2nd stage student of Uzbek language and literature

Abstract. This article discusses the use of the words in the dictionaries in literature textbooks and the methods of working on them and using dictionaries in the course of the lesson. In addition to literature textbooks, information was also provided about the ways of using dictionaries in mother tongue classes, and the role of dictionaries in the development of students’ speech. 

Key words: vocabulary, methodology, textbook, vocabulary, “Matching pair” exercise, “Did I make a mistake?” game, “Small review” method.

Annotation. In this article, the use of the words reflected in the dictionaries in literature textbooks, as well as the methods of working on them and using dictionaries in the course of the lesson, are discussed. In addition to literature textbooks, information was also given about the ways of using dictionaries in mother tongue classes, and about the role of dictionaries in the development of students’ speech.

Key words: dictionary, methodology, textbook, vocabulary, “Matching pairs” exercise, “Can you find me wrong?” game, “Little review” method.

Абстрактный. В данной статье рассматривается употребление слов, отраженных в словарях, в учебниках литературы, а также методы работы над ними и использования словарей в ходе урока. Помимо учебников по литературе, была также дана информация о способах использования словарей на занятиях родного языка, о роли словарей в развитии речи учащихся.

Ключевые слова: лексика, методика, учебник, словарный запас, упражнение “Сопоставление пар”, “Найди меня неправым?” игра, метод “Небольшой обзор”.

Getting acquainted with the dictionaries in the textbook, if we familiarize ourselves with the explanation of the word dictionary before working on them:

Dictionary [Arabic language, dialect; word, phrase] 1 A book in which the words of a language are compiled in a certain order (usually in alphabetical order), explained or translated into another language.

2 Words; the set of all words in the language, vocabulary.

Dictionaries are of great importance in explaining the meaning of words and developing students’ speech. A word is the smallest part of a language that conveys meaning. A collection of all words and phrases in a language is called a dictionary. The branch of linguistics that studies the vocabulary and structure of the Uzbek language is called lexicology.

It is known that the textbooks of the new generation are modernized and adopt a number of examples from the education of the developed countries of the world. In 6-7-10th grade textbooks of literature and mother tongue, updated in 2022, dictionaries according to the picture below are mentioned.

Figure 1.

Literature is a field that incorporates the art of words. Because it is necessary to use dictionaries in literature classes. Some of the words found in the works are historical, and some are archaic. We can apply the vocabulary given in literature textbooks to the lesson process in the following ways:

“Matched pair” method;

“I made a mistake, find it?”;

“A small review”;

Explain correctly.

 For example: we will try to fill in the vocabulary given in the 10th grade Literature textbook using the “Matched Pairs” method.

Dictionaries in the “Gorogli” epic.

In this case, the dictionaries are matched with pairs whose meanings match each other, just as shown above. It helps to know how well the students have mastered the vocabulary. 

Vocabularies found in textbooks can be found in “I’m confused?” we can present it to students as an exercise. In this case, it is necessary to use the paronym of the dictionaries.

For example: 1. Ziyoda looked at them thoughtfully. ❌ It should have been lying here, not lying down. ✅

 2. The girls looked at them with a smile, looking at them in simple, cute dresses. ✅

3. In dealing with the people, it is necessary to rely not on the sword, but on the power of justice, to save the people from oppression. (Oybek. “Navoi”) ❌ The word justice should have been used here.

4. When brother Hasan gives the money, he will weigh it and make a will. (Hamza).

5. They say that even if you rub your feet, fine silk will not turn gray. (A. Mukhtar) ✅

Students should find the correct words and write them down as shown above. This method helps to memorize paronyms well, to quickly distinguish them from the meaning of the sentence. 

We can use the “Small comment” method to explain the names of the linguistics department in the mother tongue classes. 

For example: Orthography – correct writing rules are studied.

Graphics – ………………………………………… ………………………………………… ..

Phonetics – ………………………………………… ………………………………………… ..

Lexicology – ………………………………………… …………………………………………

Etymology – ………………………………………… ……………………………………….

Morphology – ………………………………………… ……………………………………….

Phraseology – ………………………………………… …………………………………………

If we give the students the names of the sections to memorize in a dictionary style, it will be easier for them to remember them, and when commenting, they will give a short and concise, and most importantly, correct comment. This will help to strengthen students’ knowledge of linguistics and increase their scientific knowledge.

In conclusion, it can be said that in previous textbooks, vocabulary was given relatively little and it was not given importance. Currently, special dictionaries of classical works have been compiled. Dictionaries have an incomparable place in human life and language development. Today, it is difficult to fully understand any information or several meanings of information without dictionaries. Every dictionary is more than just a reference. They are the immortal heritage of the national language. As the lexicographer A. Ray said: “modern civilization is the civilization of the dictionary.” Indeed, in today’s advanced age, dictionaries have a high position in every field.

Essay from Majidova Sevinch

Central Asian teen girl with dark hair and reading glasses and a light collared blouse in front of an apartment building and a garden patch.

Mother

          Mother. There is a world of meaning in this small 3-letter word. Mother is such a beautiful and meaningful word. When we say “mother”, a kind of peace and love appears inside us. Is it easy to be a mother? Who can love their children like a mother? Who can protect them like a mother? When we fail, when the doors of fortune are closed to us, only and only our loving mother can stand by us. Your closest friends, relatives, and even your loving hearts, who always say “You’re fine, you’re fine,” turn away from you in that situation and cannot help you. The lives of all people in the world are not equal. Sometimes they succeed and sometimes they fail. For example, I have had many failures in my life. In those situations, even if I didn’t tell my mother, they could tell by my voice and face that I was depressed. A mother’s heart feels everything. They gave me strength and motivation, they taught me that there is still life ahead of me, that everything will happen in life, just try not to give up. They show me the right way. When I succeed in life, I tell my mother first. They are always proud to have children like me. 

Mothers can raise their voice to their children, they can be angry, they can say words that hurt your heart, but their love for their children never ends. A mother is such a being that every being carries that mercy and that blessing with motherhood. From humans to monsters, mothers never change, never hurt their children, their children’s lives are beautiful, and they work tirelessly to ensure that they don’t need anything in the future. A hyena, carrying her baby between her sharp teeth and protecting her children from danger, shows us how sensitive motherhood is. Mothers feed their children without eating, clothe their children without wearing them, so that their children do not become separated from their peers, so that they do not become dependent on anyone in the future, they work tirelessly, not calling night night, not calling day day, not knowing what rest is. He educates them and teaches them in big cities.

A mother is a heart full of blessings. Even though he vomits blood and cries blood, he does not let his child feel it. He swallows his pain. He shows the world to his children as beautiful and charming.

              A mother is not just a person who gave birth to a child. A mother is a whole world for a child, a painful and never-closing door. When it comes to mother, you can hear a different definition from each child. Someone praises his mother with the most beautiful words in the world, while someone else says that there are no words to describe. So who is mother to you?

“For me, mom…

The most kind, beautiful, sweet woman in the world is my mother. Without my mother, I cannot imagine the worlds, not even a single moment. My mother has a feeling, it is patience. I always admire these sentiments. No other person has the patience my mother has. My mother always helps the people around her, she is a generous woman. My mother is my heaven. May my mother be healthy and safe for me.”

Mother is a happiness that you cannot see! Some people cannot even feel this happiness. Life is beautiful for me because my mother lives in it. There will be days when my mother will always be proud of me, Inshallah! I will do my best for it!

Thank you, my mother!
