I am a Level One student at Rehan School, Korangi Campus, and I am deeply passionate about interviews, communication, and youth leadership. I started USAID TALKS to create a platform where students—especially foundation and early-level learners—can confidently share their stories, struggles, and successes. Through every interview, I continuously work on improving my speaking skills, confidence, leadership, and storytelling. This platform represents student voices, real journeys, and the power of learning at a young age. My mission is to grow USAID TALKS into a strong, student-led platform that inspires learners from Rehan School and beyond. — Usaid Ali (Usaid Talent Wala) 📘 Facebook 🌍 Foreigner Episode No: 18 🆔 Roll Number: 265
