Tabia Tarannum’s story is a real inspiration for anyone chasing big dreams. As a first-generation college student from Bangladesh, she’s gone from LaGuardia Community College in Queens to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, all thanks to the Kaplan Leadership Program and a full-ride scholarship. She’s not just studying biology on a pre-med track—she’s also volunteering at the hospital and hopes to become an anesthesiologist to improve pain management and healthcare equity. Her journey shows how mentorship, determination, and community support can open doors, even when the path seems uncertain.
