My journey by Mohammad Faiq

Early Times

I was born in Islamabad, Pakistan — a city surrounded by hills and full of life. Before I turned 8, I had the incredible experience of living in both Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia. Each place added something different to my early childhood — new languages, foods, and cultures. In 2012, my family and I moved to the United States.

High School Days

I went to Arkadelphia High School — a place that became more than just a school to me. It’s where I found some of my closest friends, grew through challenges, and started figuring out who I wanted to be. From Friday night football games to long nights studying (or at least pretending to), high school was a time of learning, both inside and outside the classroom. I learned to step up, speak out, and stay true to myself — and I’m grateful for the memories and lessons that came with it.

Now

My time at the University of Arkansas has been a journey of growth, discovery, and pushing myself. From the moment I stepped on campus, I knew this place would shape me in ways I couldn’t imagine. I’m majoring in Computer Science with a concentration in Data Analytics — a field that constantly challenges me but also excites me. I’ve had the chance to meet amazing people, join meaningful organizations, and even take on leadership roles that helped me grow outside the classroom. It hasn’t always been easy, but every setback has made me more resilient. I'm still figuring things out, but I’m proud of how far I’ve come. I am thoroughly excited for my upcoming senior year.
