Then came Grade 11. Massive bump in academic rigor cuz of A-levels, College Essays, Extracurriculars, Research—all led to nights of 3-4 hours of sleep. When I applied to colleges and thought to myself, “Finally, all of this is over,” we got hit with 9 lessons of Math a week, finishing 2 chapters from Physics in 5 lessons, and endless homework practice papers from teachers. In grade 11 I did the bare minimum to pass all of my subjects with a 5, and tried to enjoy more time with my friends.

Finally, I graduated. 11 years, 4 different schools, and 5 years of living in TPS came to end. In 2019 I complained to my parents about my school every day, but today I can confidently say that back in 2019, they might probably one of the best decisions of my life by signing me up for the examination. Even though a lot of things at school didn’t satisfy me, the people here made it completely worth it.

A chapter of my life came to an end, and another one is about to begin in a “small school in the Boston Area.” I’m happy that my best friend Shamil will be close to me in Amherest and that Sayfullo will also be in the US. I’ll be waiting for my Gap Year friends to join me too (MIT is waiting for Sohibjon and Stanford for Doniyor).

To be completely honest, I don’t want to graduate :( Yet, i’m interested what Harvard will bring to my life.

Congratulations TPS Class of 2024, we did it 🎉🥳
