MARYAM IMRAN

Hello! I’m Maryam, a determined 16 year old with ambitious dreams on the horizon. It all started with a simple English project that opened the door for me to join this incredible team, igniting a desire in me to become more than just a regular high school student.

I've always found myself immersed in the world of social media, whether it’s by participating in debates or diving into captivating crime documentaries. However, what truly fuels my passion is my love for public speaking. The ability to convey ideas and connect with others through words excites me greatly.

My Story

Joining a podcast felt like an exciting dream finally coming true, a journey I never expected to take. I used to be the quieter one in the room, someone who loved listening to conversations but rarely jumped into the spotlight. My participation in activities was limited, and I often stayed on the sidelines. But joining the podcast has shifted something in me—I’m finding a new confidence, a willingness to step forward and be part of something meaningful.

In the past, self-doubt held me back, especially when it came to speaking or performing in front of others. There’s always that rush of nerves when you stand before a crowd, knowing every eye is on you, waiting for what you have to say (I mean, who doesn’t?). But I’ve come to see this podcast as more than just a platform—it’s an opportunity to push through that fear and share my voice. I’m learning that it’s okay to feel nervous; that just means I care about what I’m doing.

The podcast has become a turning point for me. It’s helping me discover my strengths, realize my potential, and connect with others on a deeper level. I’m starting to see myself as someone who’s capable of stepping out of my comfort zone, growing, and embracing my own journey. This experience has been one of the best parts of my life so far, not only as a place to share my thoughts but also as a space for self-discovery and transformation. And while I’m still figuring things out, I’m here, ready to embrace every moment this adventure brings.

A Little More About Me

I might surprise you, but I’m quite a talker, and getting into trouble for it is almost a daily routine (though I’m not encouraging anyone to talk in class). Despite this, it doesn’t affect my goals or ambitions. When I’m not working, you’ll find me experimenting with new recipes I discover online— as cooking is one of the essentials for anyone interested in hotel and hospitality management. [Andrea here, She's AMAZING at cooking, like I would burn my house down, if I tried to boil water...]

If I’m not studying or cooking, I’m usually diving into detailed fantasy novels. I want to share knowledge with others, and this podcast gives me the perfect platform to do that.
