I spent my 7th, 8th grade being involved in Yoshlar Ittifoqi. | Simusara

I spent my 7th, 8th grade being involved in Yoshlar Ittifoqi. It was a period of its flourish (2017,18).

Back in then this organization was just starting off, and majority of students had no idea about that, so the competition was low. Plus, my school had always been in privilege so I managed to become the leader of Event Organization Department of Kamalak in my district.

Indeed, now I'm sort of skeptical about the efficiency and importance of this organization, but in 2017 I wasn't thinking so, and genuinely it was one of the the best years in my life.

I used to live in a small town where you could basically get anywhere by foot. But the main "office" was located almost in an other town, so every week I would go to meetings by taxi (bc of remoteness) skipping musical school and feel the sense of accomplishment The first year was interesting for real. We formed a council consisting of 14 people and surprisingly actually would do a lot of work. I must admit most of the work plan would spread only to several schools and majority (about 40-50) would have no idea of our existence. Speaking critically, we would have a tiny amount of good and worthy initiatives (that were actually new and original) but only smaller part of them would turn into reality. Most of the time the council was busy by organizing concerts and parades (still don't get its point ) Also we would take part in various competitions like the one in the photo (questions are truly ridiculous hahaha) and have lots of trips to different cities. And no matter how different I feel now, then I would actually feel the sense of belonging to the community.

At the beginning of each academic year there were elections for the school, district leaders. So in 8th grade, in regard with all the work we'd done to popularize the organization and involve more students, obviously there were more candidates, so are more competitors. Well the elections weren't that fair, because the organizational aspect wasn't properly elaborated, so the schools that had candidates would bring more students to gain more votes . Plus, the determinant factor was a speech that candidates were supposed to give in uzbek, and my uzbek skills were poor and I had no clue about the requirement to at least prepare a speech So this is how I gave up on Yoshlar Ittifoqi

Talking generally about the organization, I don't hear about it a lot nowadays, that's why I can't evaluate it. Perhaps it's slightly disappearing but most likely it's me who almost got estranged from community service
