Why I became a mentor: When I was in my sophomore year of high school in New York, I was fortunate that one of my teachers became my mentor. He taught one of my most difficult courses in my sophomore year and I frequently attended his office hours for help. He helped me develop my skills, and his guidance and recommendations helped me become who I am right now as a student at IUPUI. One of the most important things I learned from him was the value of consistency. There were times I felt I would never master the concepts for the course, but he refused to give up on me. I now apply this same level of commitment to my mentees, ensuring they feel supported. And at IPMP, international students need not only academic but also moral support to help them grow roots in foreign soil and glow under the rays of opportunity.
Bio: I am a young and ambitious person, who has the ability to learn quickly and adapt to any environment. I came to this country from Uzbekistan as an immigrant student with zero knowledge of other cultures and the language of the country. Over the years that I have spent here, I have learned not only English but also other important global languages that are in business demand nowadays. I can speak fluently in English, Russian, Uzbek, Tajik, and conversational Turkish.
Best place to eat in Indy: My favorite places to eat in Indy are Al-Rayan Middle Eastern Restaurant and Wei Ramen Restaurant.
My favorite thing about IUPUI: What I like the most about IUPUI is the diversity and inclusiveness (as well as the free stuff that they give).
