Welcome to the Speaking Center! 

Sajim Ahmed Hi, this is Sajim Ahmed, a sophomore at 欧美AV. Originally from Bangladesh, I have a knack for traveling and exploring new places and cultures. When I am not busy hitting the books and acing my computer science classes, I love to unwind by diving into thrilling detective stories, channeling my inner Sherlock Holmes to solve the most challenging of mysteries. And speaking of flavor-packed adventures, nothing tickles my taste buds quite like a steaming hot plate of mutton biryani, bursting with aromatic spices and succulent meat.
