Are you passionate about fitness? Because I really care about healthy body and mind. There was a time when my body was really fatigue and my mind was dull. I gained weight after my operation. I used to get tired after doing work. Eventually my mind was unfit for doing intellectual work. Then, I decided to lose weight. I prepared a balance diet chart for me. I used to have healthy food with less calories ,walk for 1hour in a day. I did some free hand exercise. I used to sleep early and wake up early. And trust me, it worked. I lost 12 kg approximately. I feel good now. I am also passionate about travelling. Although I can’t travel that much because of my study. But whenever I get chance to explore new places, I’m always ready. Travelling helps me to keep my mind fresh. I noticed, my brain works faster than usual whenever I go for travelling. I love to do cooking. During pandemic, I was really bored. I had nothing to do. So, I used to look out for different recipes. I cooked many food items for example, pudding, custard, cake, brownies, biryani, chicken curry, beef, fish. And now, I cook everything with confidence.

My name is Tasfia Khanam. I’m from Bangladesh. I still remember the day when I was completely hopeless. I was on 10th grade and I failed in test exam because I was really ill. People was laughing at me and discouraged me. They even asked me not to study further. But I didn’t listen to anyone of them. My parents and my brother encouraged me a lot. They asked me to get up and start over again. I shifted into British curriculum and completed my Olevels and GED. I worked hard instead of giving up. I wanted to show others what I’m capable of. Then, I applied into Mercy College. They accepted me as their student and I completed my first semester. My CGPA is 3.69 and I never thought that I could be in this position. 3years back, everything was messed up and now I’m grateful with what I have. I want to proof myself by completing bachelor degree. I want to get a job after that to make my parents proud. Sometimes, I get worried about the payment of tuition fees because my father is sick. I don’t want him to get worried. I don’t know what our creator has written in my fate. But I will try my best to complete my graduation.

My name is Tasfia Khanam. I am from Bangladesh. First, I would like to talk about my mother who have supported me in every decisions of mine. There was a time when I couldn’t appear my 10th grade because of my illness. I was hopeless but one of my brother encouraged me to start over again. I did it. People discouraged me but I never lose my hope. I was confident enough and passed my O levels and then completed my GED. Then, I applied into Mercy college and accepted as their student. People demotivated me because the tuition fee is high. But my parents told me not to worry about anything. I know they will help to pay my tuition fees but I don’t want to be dependent. I am really worried about how I will manage all this. My father is really sick and I don’t want to make him tensed. I want to make them proud. I want to be independent. I want to complete my graduation.I want scholarship and affordable college so that I can achieve my goals.
