Young Talents: A Schoolgirl from the At-Bashinsky District Aspires to Become a Flight Attendant and Revive the National Art of Komuz
Turmush correspondent met with Khadija for a conversation.
She shared her impressions: "Classes in komuz have opened up many opportunities for me and brought numerous achievements. Each competition and performance on stage has become a valuable experience for me. Our team often took first places, which strengthened my confidence. I realized that to succeed, I need to practice playing the komuz regularly. This art is very close to me and brings me peace of mind. In the future, I dream of performing on a big stage and continuing to develop our national culture by introducing the world to komuz music," she noted.
Khadija actively participates in various Olympiads and online competitions, which allows her to combine her studies with creative activities.
Moreover, Khadija has a dream related to her future career: "I want to become a flight attendant. This profession interests me because it requires responsibility, culture, and discipline. High qualities, deep knowledge, and the ability to communicate with people are important for successful work as a flight attendant. Since childhood, I have admired flight attendants for their politeness and neatness. I speak Kyrgyz, Russian, and English fluently, and I am interested in learning other languages as well. If possible, I will set goals for myself, enroll in a university, and do everything I can to make my dream come true," she added.
When it comes to the komuz, Khadija mentions the support of her parents, which enabled her to acquire this instrument. "My parents bought the komuz and always support me. This instrument is a sacred heritage of our ancestors. My grandfather, Kadir Estebesov, was a famous komuz player, and I hope to continue his work by developing national art," concluded the young talent.
