My name is Mohammed Tanvir Hossain. I from Bangladesh and spent fourteen years back there. Growing up in Bangladesh, I saw my cousins become very successful and I was encouraged to look up to them. My parents would always push me to be them, and I would get aggravated because I never understood the importance of having a solid education until I came to America. Once I came to the U.S. and discovered the substantial opportunities this land held for those that were willing to put in their willpower. Here I began to truly value my education as a pathway to success. Moreover, as my thirst for knowledge grew; the challenge of learning a new language and adjusting to a new culture also magnified. However, these hardships became building blocks rather than my blockage. This crafted who I am today, a hard-worker with dreams.
