Introduction

Hello, my name is Kinjon Saha, and I am a Bangladeshi. I finished my O levels in Dinajpur, a small town in Bangladesh, and then moved to Dhaka city to finish my A levels searching for better facilities.

I've always wanted to attend a prestigious university. Unfortunately, in Bangladesh, just a few universities meet international standards and provide high-quality education. I wanted to pursue Computer Science from a very young age. I've wanted to study computer science since I was a child.

I was amazed by how simple it was to communicate with people when I first opened my first Facebook account. I have many relatives in India, and communicating with them has become much easier thanks to Facebook. That's when I realized how powerful technology could be. Since then, I've known I wanted to study computer science and work in the tech industry.

So, after finishing my A levels, I sat for my SATs and had good results. I began applying to universities in the United States soon after. Fortunately, after a few applications, I was accepted into UTA with a good scholarship. So, In the pursuit of contributing to the Tech field and pursuing better and higher education, I came to the United States.

What were your biggest struggles in America? How did you overcome the challenge and what did you learn from it?

Being an international student itself has been my greatest challenge. I was torn between several options and didn't know which path to take. I was completely bewildered and lacked self-confidence. It's not simply your technical talents that matter while looking for work in the United States. You'll also need a solid portfolio, a strong network, and professionalism, among other things.
