Let me introduce myself. I am Aidar Alimov, a student at the Eurasian University. Now I am a freshman, as they put it in America, and I am doing history. I take a full course of world and Kazakh history, let alone some other things. I must say I take a special liking to the subjects in which I am going to major. And that is modern history of Kazakhstan which was my favourite subject at school.
It was shortly before leaving school that I made up my mind to enter this faculty and take up history seriously as my future specialty. Whether I will make a very good teacher or a research worker remains to be seen, but I am sure that eventually I will become quite knowledgeable in the field of history and perhaps social sciences. There are many historical subjects in our programme. When we are through with ancient history, we will pass over to the study of the middle Ages. As to Kazakh history, I think , we will start learning the Contemporary period next year ,but not until we are through with the feudal period. When I am in my third year, I wish to devote myself to the special study of modern and contemporary history by which I am greatly attracted.
