It all started in the spring of 2024 when I decided to apply to volunteer at COP29. One morning, I woke up to find that I had been invited for an interview. Later that summer, I was thrilled to learn that I had been selected for training. It was an exciting moment for me.

​

From the summer until November, we underwent intensive preparation. Unfortunately, due to my age, I wasn't selected for the main team and was placed as a reserve. But I didn’t give up. Instead, I decided to attend COP29 independently to support my friends and keep their spirit high. In the end, I’m very glad I did—it was an incredible experience.

In December, the President of Azerbaijan presented me and all the other volunteers with certificates of appreciation and special gifts. It was a truly memorable way to wrap up such an amazing journey.
