Today was a day I will never forget. After four years of hard work, dedication, and perseverance, I graduated (officially) from my undergraduate program with honors.

The highlight of the day was receiving the Vice Chancellor’s Award, which recognizes the extraordinary efforts of my team in completing the undergraduate thesis. To make the moment even more special, the Honorable Minister of Education Bangladesh, Dr. Dipu Moni, was there to present us with the award.

I was also awarded Summa Cum Laude, the highest academic honor for earning grades within the highest percentage of the department. It was an incredible feeling to have my mother there to witness the ceremony and share in my success.
