Zhanygul Kaparova: “Sharing is caring, so care about your surroundings”

June 22, 2016

Zhanygul Kaparova is one of the outstanding graduates of the International Business Law department (IBL) at AUCA. She was a two-time member of the Student Senate, a SILC member; she also was an active member of AUCA clubs such as “Eloquent Crew”, AIESEC, MUN Club, Unity Fund, Rotaract. Zhanygul shared her thoughts with us about her life as a student at AUCA and decided to give some advice to current undergraduates.

My very first impression of AUCA was not as good

First of all, like every graduate, I cannot be more glad and grateful to be an alumna of this outstanding university. Many of my friends, groupmates, and professors know how much affection and school spirit I had towards AUCA. Obviously, by the end of my fourth year, I only have good feelings left. However, honestly, I have to say that my very first impression of AUCA was not as good. But it didn’t take long to get into the flow and feel the “spirit.” My years at AUCA were very fruitful in a sense. They are full of so many memories and interesting events. But I would like to tell you about my amazing group- IBL 112.

“What is a legal person?”

First of all, when we first came in as law students, the first week of class a professor asked one student: “What is a legal person?”

And they responded, “Is it the police?”…

I believe for some of you this might not seem so funny, but believe me, when I was getting ready for final state exams and going through my old notes, I realized how much knowledge I gained! Thus, in addition to friends, personal growth and other countless opportunities and experiences, the most valuable thing I gained was knowledge, which I believe has been so unique and very, VERY useful.  I am confident that this applies to all of AUCA’s students.

Sharing is caring, so care about your surroundings

I’d like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all the professors, staff, and student clubs that have had a great impact on building my personality and professionalism. Lastly, as a two-time member of the Student Senate, a SILC member; “Eloquent Crew”, AIESEC, MUN Club, Unity Fund, Rotaract alumna and volunteer, the only advice I can give to the students it to take advantage of all their opportunities! Travel, explore, learn and teach! Sharing is caring, so care about your surroundings, the growth of your friends and your community and, in the long run, you will find out how it will all come back to you! See you around.

Much respect and love,

Zhanygul Kaparova, IBL 112
