Letter from September 4th Sender: Anastasia Lebedeva, San Francisco, California Recipient: Yulya Keda, Kazakhstan Hi! Honestly, I thought I'd write sooner, but I didn't have the time – we spent 3 unforgettable days in San Francisco! Now I understand why Anya wanted to come back here so much! The city is just indescribably beautiful! That's how I put it))) Its whole charm is that it's very different from other American cities! I don't even know where to start! I have an idea! Let me write about why this city is so wonderful instead! 10 THINGS I LOVE ABOUT SAN FRANCISCO 1) The best way to get to know any city is just to walk wherever you want, ON FOOT! There are no huge highways in San Fran, so you can walk and enjoy the views as much as you like! Of course, the city is built on hills – so the roads take on unimaginable angles! 2) It really is very beautiful! I took tons of photos! The coolest thing is that the city is beautiful in its diversity! Palace of Fine Arts (especially in the evening when it gets dark, the view is stunning), City Hall, Painted Ladies, Japantown, Chinatown, Union Square (a cool square), Haight-Ashbury (a very positive neighborhood)), Coit Tower, Pacific Heights.... 3) You can spend the whole day walking around Fisherman’s Wharf: the embankment, the deep blue ocean, Alcatraz Island, the sound of the waves, seagulls circling over the water – probably one of the most beautiful places in the city! 4) Cable Cars! OMG! After waiting in a huuuuge line, we managed to ride the famous little trams! We specifically took the side seats so we could stand while riding, take photos of people along the way, and enjoy the views!!! An amazing feeling! 5) The city is full of surprises! We spent half the day on the embankment, and by the time we rented bikes, it was already 5 o'clock. Our goal was to cross the Golden Gate Bridge! Anya had talked our ears off (yours too))) about how much she likes this bridge and how many photos she took last year! So to say I was anticipating it is an understatement! But imagine our surprise when we reached the bridge, or rather, the place where it was supposed to be, and discovered that THE BRIDGE WAS GONE!! We were standing in the middle of nowhere (as Americans say), and there was FOG all around, so thick that it was impossible to see the Golden Gate Bridge! After wandering around a bit, we decided to go through with our plan anyway! We rode across the bridge (yes, we found it by touch))), our hair was wet from the fog, it was windy, but we felt great! White haze all around! Anyway, after reaching the other end, we stopped and started sharing our impressions. And when the sun came out and the red outlines of the bridge supports became visible, we took pictures, and, tired but happy, continued our journey. On the way back, we bought t-shirts - I biked the Golden Gate Bridge! The day was a success! 6) Golden Gate Bridge! No words! It's the symbol of the city! 7) It has its own atmosphere here! Probably because of the architecture! Or maybe because of the weather! Fog is a very common occurrence, but it's so cool here in the fall! 8) Golden Gate Park. Everything is so beautiful, green, tons of flowers! Tons of photos! 9) Every time you can find something new: cozy cafes, museums (we managed to see a bit of Dali and Picasso), bookstores, parks, people! 10) You want to come back here again and again! p.s. The flight to New York is soon – we'll be there tomorrow, and on the 8th we fly home! So we'll be back soon! p.p.s. I like your VK status)))))))

Hello everyone! My name is Araylym. I am a student from Kazakhstan at Suleyman Demirel University and a future diplomat. I have been studying languages since childhood and can proudly speak about my success in mastering English, Turkish, and Korean. I started with languages because one of the important goals of my life is to travel the world, and languages are the first steps toward my dream. 20-30 years ago, traveling and working abroad was difficult, especially for students. But now it has become a relevant aspect of our lives. Various organizations and centers have become a buffer between students and other countries. And in my opinion, the leader today is the International Exchange Center. For 20 years, the International Exchange Center has been brilliantly coping with the task of implementing student exchanges. Students now have the opportunity not only to travel but also to earn money while practicing languages and exchanging culture. I have not been abroad yet, and now that I am 100% ready for such changes in my life, I want to fulfill my dream. And this competition stimulates me even more and gives a huge chance. Knowing how the Center has worked to this day, I want to make predictions about how the Center will work in 20 years. So, IEC-2029: - IEC is a global network of international exchange centers. You can find an IEC in every corner of the globe. There are already 105 IECs around the world. In Kazakhstan, there are already 7 centers: Astana, Almaty, Shymkent, Atyrau, Karaganda, Semey, and Kyzylorda. - The center provides an opportunity not only for the younger generation but also for the older generation to gain international communication and work experience. You can participate in the program if you are 18-40 years old. If you have difficulties with languages, professional specialists at the center will prepare you in a short period using accelerated methods. - All IEC program participants receive an "IEC-Visa": with one visa to the USA, you can freely cross the borders of countries participating in the IEC agreement. How far has globalization come? - The list of countries you can go to has significantly increased - UK, Australia, Canada, South America, European countries, China, Japan, India, and others. Now Kazakhstan also welcomes foreign job seekers and travelers into its warm embrace. Kazakhstan is among the 50 developed countries of the world. And it is interesting for foreigners to explore what our country represents. - IEC offers hot vacancies online. Participants choose the vacancy they like. - IEC provides each participant with a so-called "IEC with me" sensor. This sensor is made in the form of a watch. In case of questions or difficulties, the participant gives a "Domestic IEC" signal. And "Domestic IEC" instantly contacts "Host IEC" and the participant's problem is solved promptly. - IEC is now also the largest employment agency. If you are educated, perfect in language, and competent, then IEC will place you in the best international companies in any industry. - The IEC network works systematically and is constantly improving. An annual meeting of representatives of all centers is held, and the work of the centers is analyzed. - IEC is engaged in charity. 10 million dollars are allocated annually for charity. This speaks to the international prestige and good intentions of the IEC. This is our "IEC-2029". IEC does not stop at what has been achieved but goes higher and higher. Good luck and success to you, IEC!!!

Orynbay Aruzhan,3 Group Exchange programs create opportunities for participants to learn about a new country and its nation, develop interpersonal skills, and work with people from different cultural backgrounds. It is common to say that exchange programs create future leaders who appreciate international collaboration, tolerance and empathy. Above all that, I see this W&T program as a way to challenge myself and see what I am capable of. Living and working in another country with strangers is like forcing myself into the most uncomfortable situations and adventures possible. But I choose to do it myself because we can only grow when we are out of our comfort zone. I also do not think that the grass is always greener on the other side, I won’t be in the US screaming about how everything is great there and bad at home. I believe that there are pros and cons to each side and the best we can do as countries are to share our experiences and grow together as nations. What I plan to learn from this trip is hard work, I plan to mature, get more physically developed, and become more outgoing. I want to hear funny or not-so-funny life stories from my coworkers, my boss, and strangers I will meet along the way. Why do I want to experience hard work? I think most of my life I was pretty privileged. I studied in a nice private school, I got to do different sports and hobbies. My friends always had what they wanted, they never had to work for it. So when I got my first job two years ago, it turned my life upside down. I was looking for a job because I was bored in summer, and my coworkers- kids my age would work 12-hour shifts because they needed that money. I learned how to appreciate what was given to me, I learned to appreciate people’s work and my life as it is. When I told my friend from university I am going to participate in W&T. He said “Are you kidding me? You are spending all your time studying computer science just to go the US and wash dishes there?!”. I realized how privileged and arrogant some people can be and how I would never want to have that kind of perception of life and arrogancy towards people who do hand work like washing dishes. So for me, the W&T program is not just a way to spend a crazy summer far away from my parents. It is a way to teach myself a lesson one more time, learn discipline, learn the work ethic of another nation, and give myself the motivation to keep studying and be grateful for everything that I have. In the near future, I would like to finish my Bachelor's degree and get my Master's and Doctorate degrees while practising and working as a software engineer. But most importantly I would like to be a researcher and teach at my university(KBTU) as my role model Pakizar Shamoi. Pakizar teaches my Object Oriented Programming course right now at KBTU and is the greatest Professor I ever came across during these 2 years of college. Pakizar got her PhD in Japan and I feel like it is an important part of her journey that I want to experience too. I think a lot of her work ethic and dedication comes from people she met in Japan and the obstacles she had to overcome to get there. That is why I want to experience other nations’ cultures, work systems, their educational system like my role model did. I want to learn networking and I feel like spending a summer in the US would help to develop the soft and hard skills that I need to achieve my ambitious goals. It would give me more experience of living abroad that I will need if I will get my Master's or PhD abroad. Hopefully in future when I will teach at KBTU I will be able to tell my students stories about me travelling across the US and other countries like Pakizar does in her lectures. Talking about the culture of my country, I want to talk about our youth. About how many talents from Kazakhstan are now in comedy, music, cinema and technology? I would tell them about Moldanazar, whose music I adore, Aisultan Seitov and his recent movie «Қаш», about Sanzhar
