Aigerim runs a small bakery in the centre of her town. Every morning she gets up at four o'clock to bake bread, and by seven the shop is full of customers. Business was slow at first, but she never gave up, and now people come from far and wide to buy her cakes. Last winter a heavy snowfall nearly closed the shop. The roads were blocked, and the delivery van could not reach the bakery. Aigerim's brother, who works as a driver, offered to give her a hand. He carried the flour on a sledge, and together they kept the ovens running. When a reporter asked Aigerim about the secret of her success, she said, "I choose fresh ingredients and I treat every customer as a friend. Hard work is the key." Her words made the whole town proud, although she is a modest person who does not like to boast.
