THE PERSUIT OF THE PAST
Tajik-Turkish High Schools was formed in 1992 by a multimillionaire of the world, Haji Kemal Erimez. In that year Tajikistan was separated from the USSR. Tajikistan was like a bird without wings and it was a difficult time for the Tajik nation. The government started to divide into parts and they made a conflict with each other. To find a peace of bread was also difficult for us. All the schools were closed. We needed help very much. Some countries and peoples started to help us. Our nation was on a mysterious path. Everyone started to leave Tajikistan. We were in need of schools to protect us from danger for the future. I was very lucky that eventually after a long struggle I was able to attend such a school.
Haji Kemal Erimez heard about the situation of our nation. He sad “I know that in history the Tajik nation helped my nation (Turkey) and I think it’s a time to give back” He came to Tajikistan in 1992 like a soldier and he was ready to go against all kind of evils. He was an old man of 70 but young at heart. He sad “For the future my brothers need an education” He opened 7 schools in my country. Those kinds of schools were opened because Haji Ata paid to soldiers to protect them. In1996 the civil war was finished. Therefore he didn’t leave Tajikistan and he continued to open new schools. After one year of the war in 1997 he formed my high school in Khujand city and he dead after 3 months. He gave his life and he spent all his wealth to my nation. I never saw him in my life but I admire his life.
After 5 years of heartbreak, on May 15 2002 I was registered to take the exam in Tajik-Turkish High School. May was a special month in my life. It was a dream of my life. Second week of May I had an exam to the best high-school in my country. I took the exam and the next week I came to learn about my score. Fortunately my score was unequaled. I was very happy, also very mad. I was mad because I left my classmates from elementary school.
September 1st, was new page of my life in new school with strangers from different states. My new school was located in the center of the city. The school had every thing to study and relax. School had a soccer field, a campus and laboratories for the all sciences. We had international teachers from Turkey, Russia, USA and Tajikistan. I liked all teachers because they were intelligent and thanks giver. All the teachers had optimistic side of character. I’m friendly in personality and I found speech with them easily. I made friends easily. It was amazing to make friends from other countries and states. We start to be together everywhere and all of the time. When we became like a brothers, we all together started to stay on campus. Life on campus was more interesting. We held a party every week and every month took a nature trip. It was great. Normally at the end of the weeks we had to leave campus. But we didn’t. We chose to stay on campus together. We had many activities during the campus live. We had very fun. I liked campus life and I used to stay there everyday and weekends.
25 May of 2007, it was sad day for us. We had cried that day. It is horrible to leave your brothers. I can’t forget them. They are my brothers for once and for all.
