I choose to be happy! My happiness is the result of an incessant path to a dream and my own achievements. Sport has taught me that every effort, every day of training and every drop of sweat matters. Thanks to perseverance and dedication, I was able to go a long way and achieve many goals.

My name is Alpysbaev Nurislam. I am a candidate for the master of sports in hand-to-hand combat, the champion of Kazakhstan in pankration 2022, the silver medalist of the Kazakhstan youth championship in zhekpe-zhek 2022 and the bronze medalist of the Kazakhstan men`s championship in zhekpe-zhek 2023. In addition, I became the champion of the Almaty region six times and represent our region in the zhekpe-zhek national team.

Each of these victories is the result of seven years of hard training, iron self—discipline and incredible support from loved ones and coaches. Having overcome all the difficulties along the way, I can say with confidence that every effort I put in has paid off. And that`s what makes me happy.

But sport is not just about medals and championship titles. It is a lifestyle that strengthens the spirit and teaches responsibility. I sincerely want to inspire young people to play sports and strive for personal growth. Sport strengthens not only the body, but also the character, helps to find strength and overcome any obstacles. But I am convinced that self-development should not be limited to just one area. Whether it`s science, art or entrepreneurship, the pursuit of knowledge and new heights opens up limitless possibilities.

Today I am proud to be a first-year student of the Department of Economics and Business at the International University of Engineering and Technology, where I can develop not only as an athlete, but also as a person. This university has become a source of new knowledge and opportunities for me, a place of growth and inspiration. And I sincerely believe that our university unites the same motivated people who are ready to work with me to promote its status and glorify our alma mater at the highest levels.

Be bold in your dreams, persevere in your goals and don`t be afraid to overcome difficulties. May your every day be a step towards a better version of yourself. Life is a path, and it depends on you how bright it will be. Strive for heights, inspire others and never stop there!
