I think one of the, uh, interesting achievement of my life is the conclusion of my thesis. Actually, it was one of the most challenging part of my undergraduate life. In our undergraduate life, we were given 14 weeks to complete our thesis. My thesis was based on experiments that include. That included machining, optimization, etcetera. For my experiments, I needed, uh, some chemicals that were not available in Bangladesh, so I had to import that from China. I placed the order on the fifth week, and I was supposed to receive the order by 7th week. But because of some shipment problem, I didn’t receive my order. I was very panicked and everyone was suggesting me to change my thesis topic. But it was too late to change that, and I was very incident that I had the potential to complete the thesis within short term. So I consulted with the company where I actually placed the order, and they assured me that I would receive the product by 10th week. So I waited for that product with a high risk. On 10th week. When I received the poor product, I actually worked very hard to complete my thesis. I remember that I worked at least 14 hours each day to complete my, uh, portion of report writing, optimization, machining, etceter. I am very grateful to my lab assistants and lab engineers because without them, I wouldn’t be able to complete my thesis. On my defense day, I was very nervous and panicked because I had completed the thesis within a very short time. I was audried about if there was any mistakes, but I successfully completed my defense and I answered all the question of the examiners. When I left the hall room, my supervisor praised me a lot and he was, um, very grateful to me that I have actually completed the thesis within short term. So I considered it one of my, um, best achievements in my life.

I think one of the most interesting achievements in my life is the completion of my thesis. It was one of the most challenging parts of my undergraduate experience. We were given 14 weeks to complete our thesis. My thesis was based on experiments that involved machining, optimization, and other aspects. For my experiments, I needed certain chemicals that were not available in Bangladesh, so I had to import them from China. I placed the order in the fifth week and was supposed to receive it by the seventh week. However, due to a shipment problem, I didn't receive my order. I was very panicked, and everyone suggested I change my thesis topic. But it was too late to change, and I was determined to complete the thesis within the short timeframe. I consulted with the company where I placed the order, and they assured me that I would receive the product by the tenth week. So I waited with a high level of risk. On the tenth week, when I finally received the product, I worked very hard to complete my thesis. I remember working at least 14 hours each day to complete the report writing, optimization, machining, and other aspects. I am very grateful to my lab assistants and lab engineers because without them, I wouldn't have been able to complete my thesis. On my defense day, I was very nervous and panicked because I had completed the thesis within a very short time. I was worried about potential mistakes, but I successfully completed my defense and answered all the questions of the examiners. When I left the hall, my supervisor praised me a lot and expressed his gratitude for completing the thesis within such a short timeframe. So I consider it one of my greatest achievements in life.
