Albina Kamaletdinova - Aubz's blog

Hi, my name is Albina Kamaletdinova. I was born on January 24, 1969, and I'm 43 years old. I was born in Kulob, Tajikistan. As a child, I found that I could bond with my father though archery and my mother though the love of sports. Archery was always that one sport that you’re better at than the others. I had many jobs such as an Ultrasound Specialist, part time at Kaisha Hospital in Kunduz Afghanistan. I was there for a year with the pay of $600/month. It didn’t really work out, so I went to be a full time Massage Therapist at Amtex Global Services, in Kandahar. Although I got paid $1,000/month, it just didn’t feel right. Then, I began working at Shifa Health Care in Balkh as a full time Dentist for 2 years. It wasn’t until a couch saw me practicing archery that I even thought about participating in the Olympics. We talked about it for weeks; I just didn’t know if I was ready or good enough. He explained to me that he thought I was good enough and ready. I watched some videos on it, and it made me wonder if I had the chance to win. The next week we scheduled times and dates for practices. I became so excited, confident, and positive that I could win. If I didn’t win, it would be okay as long as I tried and did my best. In the end, I didn’t win, but I will train harder, practice more and win next time.
