Alumni Voices (Memorable School Experiences)

Alma-mater Links, Unforgettable Memories Nurtured Incessantly.’ Alumni, an integral part of the school. The link with one’s Alma Mater is the maternal connection one has with his or her ‘Second Home’. The alumni perspective formed by the values that their school taught them is key to retaining the strength of the school’s culture. All said and done, school experiences are always memorable ones, no matter how long it has been since one has passed out. Our TBAC Pass-outs, wherever they are, they stay connected to their Alma-mater. A bond which has been caringly and unforgettably knit together creating a memorable path down memory lane, those truly unforgettable school campus days! Our school is a brand of its own and the alumni are our brand ambassadors. When our students pass out, they leave an impression about their studies and values that are crafted during their life at school. As the school continues to provide good education, alumni voices are invaluable about the direction in which our school is headed.

My journey from Bangladesh to the UAE, in 2021, was a leap into the unknown. But amidst the uncertainty, The Bloomington Academy (TBAC), the humble school, with its gigantic heart, guided me helped me find my path. Grateful isn't enough to describe how I feel about this supportive family.

I received individual attention and guidance from almost every teacher and student in my class. The most significant support came from our, Ms. Husaina, whose encouragement continues to guide me even today.

The Bloomington Academy became the catalyst for many of my achievements; from learning real-life skills to earning the Cambridge Learner Award. I will forever remain grateful to my teachers, friends, and the entire School Management for believing in me when I was unsure of myself.

Today, as I step forward into the next chapter of my journey, I carry with me the knowledge I gained, the memories I made, and the valuable lessons I learned at TBAC. Thank you, Bloomington Academy, from the very bottom of my heart.

The Bloomington Academy flipped my world upside down in the best way. I walked in unsure and left with a sense of purpose. The teachers were like my UAE family. They saw potential in me I didn't know I had! They pushed me past my comfort zone, and honestly, I'm glad they did. I stopped just pushing through the day’s and actually started aiming higher.

Being on the Student Council for four years taught me what being a leader really meant. I learned how to work with people, how to keep my calm when everything around me felt chaotic. I am sure I am going to use these skills again, probably sooner than I think!

I owe a lot to my accounting teacher, Ms. Sheema. She didn’t just teach accounting, she made me believe I could do so much more than I thought. Because of her, I started to trust myself and see a path forward. She played a big part to where I’m headed now.

Right now, I’m at Manipal University, working on my Bachelor’s in Commerce and in pursuit of the ACCA designation. I’m taking the ACCA professional papers at my own pace, but I’m getting there.

I've figured out that progress isn't about giant leaps; it's about putting one foot in front of the other, even when the path's not clear. I take one step at a time, but I keep moving forward, no matter what.

I'm proud to share that I joined The Bloomington Academy (TBAC) in Grade 9 and went on to complete my A levels. Today, I'm pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Interior Design at Ajman University.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Principal, Ms. Hussaina, Miss Zahida, all my teachers, and the support staff at TBAC. You've taught me invaluable skills, both academic and personal, that have shaped me into who I am today. I'm grateful for the support and memories I've received at TBAC, which helped me excel academically and in extra-curricular activities, including achieving a Black Belt in Karate.

Thank you, TBAC, for everything. I'm thankful to everyone who taught me valuable life lessons and helped me grow into a better person.

My journey from The Bloomington Academy to university has been shaped by curiosity, courage, and a genuine love for learning. High school was where I learned to challenge myself, step into leadership, and believe in my ability to excel both academically and personally. I expressed myself creatively as the singer in the school band, grew as a leader through the Student Council, and embraced opportunities to compete, collaborate, and represent my school beyond its walls.

Some of my proudest moments at The Bloomington Academy include winning first place at a competition hosted by Gulf University, participating in a Solar Innovation Competition at Ajman University, and achieving straight A’s in my AS Levels. Each experience pushed me to think bigger, work harder, and trust the process.

I am currently in my second year, studying Pharmacy at Ajman University on an honours scholarship, The Madam Sosamma Lazar 100% Scholarship. One of the most defining moments of my university journey has been being part of a multidisciplinary healthcare team that won multiple competitions during Simulation Week, including first place at the Leadership Healthcare Simulation Conference. These experiences continue to fuel my passion for healthcare and leadership and remain a powerful source of motivation to pursue excellence.

Bloomington Academy laid the foundation for who I am today. I am deeply grateful to the teaching and non-teaching staff, with special appreciation to the Principal, Ms. Hussaina, for believing in her students and creating an environment where passion is nurtured and excellence is expected.

To The Bloomington Academy students, take advantage of every opportunity given to you, even if it’s as small as leading a morning assembly.

My educational journey began in high school at The Bloomington Academy in Ajman, where I spent four rewarding years, from Grade 9 to 12. During this time, one of the most transformative experiences was serving as a Student Council member for three consecutive years. In this role, I took on responsibilities such as hosting events, presenting on stage, and leading initiatives in the girls' section to foster academic excellence, personal growth, discipline, and skill development among peers. These experiences taught me invaluable lessons in patience, leadership, and most importantly teamwork. I learned to communicate ideas respectfully without diminishing others, to honour authority while confidently sharing my opinions, and to empower team members by giving them opportunities to experiment, learn, and grow together.

Beyond the council, I actively participated in several business entrepreneurship, and management competitions, as well as career networking events. These opportunities honed my professional skills, sparked my interest in the corporate world, and helped me understand the practical importance of rules, procedures, and guidance from teachers and school management. Certain lessons that seemed puzzling at the time, now provide clarity and perspective in my daily life.

Today, I am pursuing the ACCA qualification while working full-time as an accountant to gain hands-on experience. This intentional decision enables me to develop real-world expertise that transcends textbooks, allowing me to plan my own path and build a future that's truly mine.
