Star Team is a pilot program
Giving leads to a life that is like riding a bicycle on a nice paved highway, while taking everything away takes you into the impassable sands. Evil, deceit and betrayal always generate enemies, as well as invoke an acute desire for revenge and retaliatory evil. Kindness, helpfulness, labor and trust not only make you happier, but also often benefit you in return. Hard work and perseverance help you to build a solid material foundation.
Keeping promises made to partners and customers, as well as providing quality services, evokes gratitude and helps create long-term loyalty. The desire to develop and to learn new things leads to the height of professionalism. Share consciously, without expecting anything in return, contributing to your happiness. But be prepared for gratitude and reciprocal kindness.

I am the winner of the Republican Olympiad in Mathematics (2021) and the bronze medalist of the Caucasian Mathematical Olympiad (2021).
I like video games and weightlifting. I'm considering a career in chemical engineering.
I decided to apply to the Star Team program because it was time for me to think about the future. I used to think that I had plenty of time before I went to university. It wasn't until 10th grade that I realized I needed to take matters into my own hands and leapt on the very first opportunity that presented itself.

I had a passion for vocals.

My biggest hobbies are programming and drawing. My passion for programming goes back fifth grade, when I first coded the "Hello, World!" message. I spent a lot of time learning different algorithms and programming languages. Then I began to study Olympiad-level programming, making great progress. Drawing has been an integral part of my life since kindergarten. In my free time I also like to play volleyball and read.
For me, getting an education is a guarantee of a good and bright future. So when I heard about the Star Team program, which gives its members a chance to get an A-Level diploma, I immediately decided to take part in it. This project gives people with ambitious goals a chance to fulfill their big dreams!
