She is only 20 years old, and she knows exactly what she wants in life. She is always learning and striving to discover new things. A gifted girl who speaks several languages and “tames” artificial intelligence. Determination and curiosity are essential for achieving her goals, she believes. I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation with her. Meet Isabella Pashaeva.

– I’ll start with the traditional question: where were you born, where did you study? How was your childhood?

– I was born in Yessentuki — where it says at the entrance to the maternity hospital: “Here happiness is born,” and I sincerely believe that this is about me. Born on February 12, 2006, I became the happiness of my parents, Rinald and Ekaterina Pashaev.

We lived in a large family with my grandfather and grandmother Manashir and Bella Pashaev, with an uncle and aunt who were younger than my dad, in a big house. It was a wonderful time; we have a very close-knit family. My grandparents gave me a lot, instilled family values, for which I am very grateful to them. Later, my parents bought a house, and we — dad, mom, I, and my younger sister — moved there. But I still visit my beloved grandparents very often.

Although I was born in Yessentuki, I live in Pyatigorsk. I love this city very much — it is calm and beautiful, and it is here that I spent all my childhood and education: kindergarten, preschool education, school, college, and now university.

Since childhood, I have been quite serious and reserved; this was noticed even in preschool, but at the same time, I always behaved calmly and kindly. Even then, the first successes and awards began to appear. I sang, danced, recited poems, and at the age of five, I made it into the newspaper for my achievements in dance.

I started school at the age of six; it was the 20th Lyceum of Pyatigorsk. I studied there for nine years, constantly engaging in creativity and participating in olympiads and competitions.

At the same time, I spent eight years in the pop-sport dance group “Millennium.” We performed in Moscow, Sochi, Kislovodsk, Stavropol, and other cities, winning grand prizes.
