#004 – Mosaraf Hossain: Information Security Senior Analyst/AVP at CitiBank US | From Pitch Black to Eternal Sunshine Making It In America
-
- Self-Improvement
“I grew up in a remote village in Bangladesh. My father had a small job, and my mother worked at home. I did not see the beginning of my life in a very comfortable way. There was always a shortage in the house. I spent most of my childhood in the fields - farming, fishing. I had 4 sisters. We lived in a 400 square foot house.
I used to study during the day as we didn't have money for a lamp. After the sunset when everyone would start reading, I was getting ready to go to bed.
...
It is beyond my imagination that I’d get a full scholarship for higher studies in a US university. When the opportunity came I couldn't believe it. I went through a long-winded path to where I am today. I even had the opportunity to work in the US Army. I’m living with my family in Dallas now with our own little daughter. From a remote area without electricity, today I live in a place where electricity never shuts off.”
