"Life is a grindstone. Whether it grinds us down or polishes us up is up to us." - Thomas L. Holdcroft
I actually have never thought about my life until recently. As I pondered, I realized that life has taught me to expect the unexpected, to appreciate others, to respect my elders, to love my parents, to obey my mentors and most importantly, to be happy with what I have.

I still remember vividly when the time my family moved to Bangladesh. I did not know that we would be living permanently in the country until a month later. I got admitted into the prestigious Oxford International School. Bengali was one of the subjects taught in the school despite the fact that the school was English speaking. I was able to speak in Bengali, but the hard part was that I had to learn to read and write in Bengali within one month! In addition, I had to adapt to the British Curriculum of studies. However, in the end, not only I was able to adapt the new changes in my life, I was also able to become a top student in my class.

I still remember vividly when the time my family moved to Bangladesh.

I started to help my mother with her household routine even though I was never asked to do so.

I realized how my younger brother and sister always looked up to me, and how I was the first person they would seek help from.

My desire to help them achieve more than I have.

I never wanted to hurt my family in any way, nor did I want any harm causing to them.

I feel good as I think about the amazing friends and family God has gifted me.
