I was born in 2003, in independent Kazakhstan. I now 14 years old, and of the independence of Kazakhstan – twenty-five. Twenty-five years is a long way. Over these years Kazakhstan has achieved a lot. After the collapse of the Union, all countries were at the same level. But our Republic, despite all the difficulties, went ahead. This is largely due to people of independent Kazakhstan. They believed that difficulties will pass, for every man is convinced that "we ourselves raise to life" (O. Suleimenov).
