I am doing my Bachelors in Business Administration. I am in my first year and trying to get used to the fact that I now study in a university.

I grew up in Sherpur, far away from Dhaka. We are a family of 5. My sister is in 4th grade and and my brother in 9th grade. They study in a government school in Sherpur. My father is a farmer there, where he tends to his land. My mother is very loving and she takes care of the family at home. I moved to Dhaka city to study when I was in my 9th grade and stay with my grandparents. They are old, but they were willing to help me to continue my studies. My result was good in SSC and HSC and I secured GPA 4.5 in my last exam.

I used to study in a different school when I moved to Dhaka, but there the tuition fee was high, so I moved to Alok school. Since Alok School was free it was a great choice for me. But once I moved to Alok School, I started loving it much more. I used to get Tiffin, books and was able to do many different activities other than just studies, which my previous school did not have. My favorite subject in school was Math, but I used wait eagerly for the many fun classes in Science and Music. I remember fondly of our many study tours at museums and our early cultural program for which we used to practice a lot. It was fun doing stuff with my friends and the teachers,

I love to play. My favorite sport is Cricket and Soccer. But nowadays, I dont have much time to play. Now, after my class at the university, I provide some private tuition to earn some cash as I need to support my studies and my family. It's a long day, but I am happy as I can help my family.

After my studies are completed in Business, I want to be a banker. I also want to be connected to Alok, and I will try my best to help them going forward as they have helped me.
