Hello everyone, teachers and students, Good [morning/afternoon/evening], I am very happy and thankful to talk to you today about my story. My name is Muhammad Arsalan, and I am very proud and happy to be here at [Changsha Medical University], showing you not only myself, but also the strong spirit of my hometown, Bhakkar, in Pakistan. My school journey started at Model High School in Bhakkar, where I learned the basics for my education.
It was a time when I was curious, learned a lot, and got a lot of help from my teachers and friends. Then, I went to Government College Bhakkar, and finished my FSC with big hopes and dreams that went beyond my small but lively city. Coming from a place like Bhakkar, which is very nice and friendly, made me work hard and never give up. The journey from those days to now has been hard, but it is these hard times that made me better and made me want to do my best. And now, as I stand here at [Changsha Medical University], I am ready to take on the new chances that are waiting for me. I believe that the things I have done, seen, and learned from my journey will add to the richness of our academic group.
I am not just a person from Bhakkar; I am a proof that you can do anything no matter where you are from. I am here not just as one person but as a sign that hard work and love can make us reach high, no matter where we start from. I hope to be a good part of the academic talks, make good friends, and grow with all of you. Let’s have a fun and good academic time for all of us. Thank you.
