 “Every student, and any person, has at least three things in her/his pocket which can make her/him successful. These are NETWORK, INTERNET & FAMILY. These three are more important for youth and for some reason are least visible and underestimated. Any person, ANY, will be able to succeed having these three...Keep your network healthy, especially from college, benefit from digital world, and give thanks for your family (sometimes your friends is your family, this is totally okay), and go FORWARD!” The topic aroused great interest among students and especially girls who saw a good example of the career growth of an Uzbek woman.

In conclusion, an exchange of views took place, during which students received answers to their questions, expressed their thanks to the organizers for holding the round table. The high appreciation was given to the meaningful side of the event.
