Every important lessons of my Life I learned from Dora the explorer...
I grow up in typical Kazakh family: parents working whole days to survive rather than live and 2-3 children. As my parents couldn't afford nannies or kindergarten with my siblings I spent my days at home watching tons of CDs. Among cartoons I'd watched I had my favorite one - Dora the explorer. Cheerful Latino girl with a love of embarking on quests partakes on activities accompanied by her friends. "Are you ready?!" she exclaimed and started journey to her goals overcoming every obstacle in her way caused by "Swiper" or other beings. Dora taught my young mind to cherish resilience and keep positive despite formidable challenges. Importantly, she always helped her friends to get out of the challenges, thereby, inspiring me to work for benefit of the society.
Yet, I've never before realized I had power to impact someone's life until this summer. "I need help to prepare to exams to get into high school, but my family can't afford tutor". Keeping words of my young neighbor in mind I decided to educate him myself. Everyday about a week we conquered the peaks of math and physics; I was pleasantly surprised when he got one of the highest scores.
After witnessing myself making positive change on someone's life, I've been determined to dedicate my Life making World a better place. As say Dora "What I do is far important than who I am!"

Every important lessons of my Life I learned from Dora the explorer...
I grew up in typical Kazakh family. My parents worked the whole day to survive rather than live. Because my parents couldn't afford nannies or kindergarten , I spent my days at home with my siblings watching many shows. My favorite cartoon I watched was Dora the Explorer. The show depicted a Cheerful Latino girl with a love of embarking on quests with her friends. "Are you ready?!" she exclaimed at the start of each journey. Each show she had to overcome different obstacles in her way caused by "Swiper" a devious character who was out to get Dora. Dora taught my young mind to cherish resilience and keep a positive mindset despite formidable challenges. Importantly, she always helped her friends to get out of the challenges which has inspired me to work in a profession that benefits society.
Yet, I've never before realized I had power to impact someone's life until this summer. My neighbor said to me, "I need help to prepare for exams to get into high school, but my family can't afford a tutor." Keeping the message i learned from Dora in my mind, I decided to educate him myself. Everyday, we conquered the peaks of math and physics and I was pleasantly surprised when he got an incredible score. After seeing myself make a positive change in someone's life, I've been determined to dedicate my life to making the world a better place. As would say, "What I do is far more important than who I am!"
