My mother, Lieutenant Venera Abdullayeva, a senior specialist of the Financial Support Service of the IIB of Navoi region, is a wonderful guiding star in my life. As a child, I envied him for being very disciplined and responsible. Besides, I was proud that he was contributing to the peace of the country.

It was this desire and sense of pride that led me to the MIA Navoi Academic Lyceum. I graduated from this educational institution with honors. Today, I am a cadet of the 2nd level of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Academy. The letter of recommendation for my mother's selfless services was important for my admission to this prestigious university. 

This trust gave me a great responsibility. I am proud to receive a letter of thanks from my parents for my exemplary behavior and excellent grades at the academy. Every achievement I have achieved in my life is primarily due to the work, upbringing and prayers of my parents.

I have an IELTS certificate as proof that I can communicate fluently in English. However, my most important "certificate" is the life lessons my mother gave me in terms of honesty, discipline, love for the country and devotion to duty. 

Mother, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on International Women's Day. Your love and faith give me strength. I promise to always brighten your face, to be a worthy child for you.

Muhammadabdullah BAHODIROV,

Cadet of the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
