In the Kazaly Transport and Technical Higher College, within the framework of the Okuga Kushtar College project, a teacher of Kazakh language and literature G. Zhaldybayeva organized an essay contest among college students on the topic "Books that changed my life". The goal is for everyone to treat their native land and homeland with love and respect through the books they have read as a patriot of their country and to introduce young people to read books. According to the results of the competition, Zhandarbek Alim, a first-year student of the LZHS-23/9 group, was recognized as the winner of the competition. He chose the work "Ushkan uya" by B. Momyshula, which he read. Proverbs, sayings and customs, conclusions in the work of the writer-front-line soldier B. Momyshuly, who performed an immortal feat in the history of the Kazakh people, who became a hero of the nation, occupying a special place in Kazakh literature, are an example of educating generations. "Ushkan uya" is a rich treasury of Kazakh spirituality, embodying the power of the word through work, glorifying eloquence, educating and guiding the younger generation to love and cherish their native language as the apple of their eye.
