My early days were very hard and full of struggle. But I was so determined and enthusiastic that later – on as years passed the journey became a mission. From my school days and until now I am fighting with hardships. But I did not escape from life because I was patient and had the blessings of my parents. When I was in college I began to teach the children from the neighborhood. And later – on when I was doing my Bachelor degree in commerce I worked with a NGO “World Vision’. I never forget the support I got from the program manager. He appointed me as a pre – school teacher .I did volunteer work with a little pocket money but this money helped me a lot. During study and work I joined the Lay Buddhist organization “RISSHO KOSEI KAI”. I served there as a volunteer once a week. In the year 2002 they selected 5 youths to attend a conference in Thailand .I was one among the five. I could not believe myself .At that time I realized that if we are one pointed in our work we shall surely succeed. It was my first visit out of my country and all expenses were met by the organization. One day I got information that there is a Myanmar government scholarship for studies in Buddhism and especially in our country for people who wish to become a monk. The scholarship was not for women. But I always thought that I should do something special. I contacted the education officer in Myanmar Embassy in Dhaka. I inspired him with my approach and he was kind enough to understand. He told, of course I could study Buddhism. Buddhism is for all. And I had to appear for written and oral exams only next week. I had no time. I was the first girl from Bangladesh Buddhist society who got this prestigious scholarship. I was excited because it was my first visit to a foreign country for 3 years. From 2004 to 2007 I was in Myanmar. My study duration was 3 years and for an another year I did missionary work in many orphanages and old age homes as volunteer .They provided for my food and lodging. I was so happy for that because my intention was not to get money but to understand a new culture and get lots of experience. Returning to Bangladesh I worked with a local NGO “NOWZUWAN”. I have learnt from them how to be sincere in work. It was my first fulltime job with a salary. I worked there for a year. I had applied for a one year non-degree course in Indonesia. But I needed airfare .I was struggling and wanted to cancel the opportunity. But one fine day a friend called me and asked if I could work with the refugees in Myanmar and Bangladesh border. I got a job there and earned money to come to Indonesia. But I soon realized that I should do post graduation to be better equipped to serve the society. I found on the internet that the Rai Foundation in India was giving scholarships to gifted girls to do MBA in India. I applied for it and won the scholarship to help of founder of Nirvanavan Foundation baba Nirvana.He recommend me to get admission .I have got my MBA from NIILM University,Haryana,India on 2012.And at present I am doing special course about tourism and culinary Indonesia.I am enjoying life in Indonesia.
What you have “Dream” in your mind never ever give up!Success will must come!
