Personal Statement
I am a very friendly guy with wide interest in community building, Uighur history, culture and language. I am a good father with two daughters. I love my family more than anything else in the world. I put a lot of effort in educating our young generation to learn our history, culture and language. Although I am an extremely busy man who has to work full time for private companies, I always managed to squeeze enough time to involve in Uighur community activities. I have been assisting Uighur student’s overseas educational need ever since I came to the west. I have build website such www.uighurlanguage.com for teaching Uighur language to English speaking people. I have build website SAS by Tughluk to teach analyst how to use Statistical software SAS. Also, by working closely with several friends of mine with the same interest, we have build up a new website dedicated to introduce Uighur culture to the world community – www.meshrep.com .
I am a simple, easy going and hard working person. I have not been able to accomplish great things such as becoming world famous mathematician - as I had dreamed when I was a young and ambitious boy. But I do enjoy doing small things that I am capable of accomplishing, even if it involves picking up some strayed Uighur visitor from the airport by driving 3-4 hours, or spending my whole weekend to organize community picnic, helping young Uighur boys-girls with their wedding preparations and so on. I truly enjoy these things because we are far away from our motherland, from our close relatives, from our beautiful culture we are so proud of. I have to treat my community like my own family in order for the community to treat me as one of its member.
The following is a brief list of what I have done so far in my life.
