[2018~2021 GITC Participant] Tilegen Rakhatbekov from Kyrgyzstan > Participants' Story Global IT Challenge

Hello, My name is Tilegen from Kyrgyzstan.     

I am 17 years old. I have cerebral palsy and I am deaf. 

I have been playing on computer since I was six. 

I can't write with my hands because of my disability, but I can do a lot on computer like writing, drawing or playing games!

I have been participating in the GITC since 2018.  

In 2019, I made it to the Final and went to Korea!

The travel to Korea was so exciting. I saw the ocean and it was so beautiful! 

I made a lot of new friends from all over the world.  

From that GITC, I learned how to edit video and apply special effects.  

Now I send greetings to my loved ones with a video. 

Finally in 2021, I won the first prize at eContents Challenge!  

How happy I was! My loved ones were happy, either. 

Thanks to the GITC, I got great experience. 

Soon I will finish my school, I need to choose the profession. 

My profession certainly will be connected with computer programming. 

I still have a lot to learn!

This year I will try my hand at GITC again. 

Through the GITC, I hope you make great experience and find your dream like me!
