About Me
"Hey! I'm Shahbaaz Khan, and if you're here, you probably want to know what I'm doing. To be honest, I’m learning English with a dream of becoming a motivational speaker. I've struggled a lot with anxiety, introversion, and overthinking, which has made me quite the procrastinator—and yes, I’m a perfectionist too. Not exactly the best combo! If you've faced any of this, you know how challenging it can be.
​
I often overthink to the point that I never take action, and it frustrates me. But I’m ready to break this cycle and do the things I truly want. For my dream, I need a strong command of English. Right now, I’m preparing for my B2 First Cambridge exam, which I hope to clear by March 2025. From there, I’ll move on to C1, and maybe one day, C2.
​
​
I was thinking about how difficult it is to reach a good level at something, and how, until then, you often struggle alone. But why should it be this way? I was reflecting on this the other day and realized something interesting.

Think about it: companies value feedback from all types of people, not just experts, because those first impressions and experiences matter. Our journeys as beginners are valuable, too. That’s why I’m here, sharing my own path, step by step, for anyone who might relate. Every struggle and little win along the way is part of the story I hope will inspire others starting out.
How It Started
2014-2019
Place - Graphic Era Hill University
After school, my first day at university was a turning point. When the teacher asked us to introduce ourselves, I realized I didn’t know how to do it properly—no one had ever taught me. I come from a village where people rarely speak even our mother tongue since it’s a mix of several languages. At that moment, I felt truly out of place and deeply upset.
After that, I pushed myself during my college days by volunteering for presentations and seminars. I still remember my first presentation—my right leg was shaking, and I was sweating. I tried to control it, but the anxiety had taken over my entire body. It helped. Now, I still feel a bit of anxiety, but I’m mostly comfortable on stage and able to speak confidently.
2019-2024
After 2019, I completed my Bachelor’s in Education. As days passed, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do in life. Gradually, though, I began to believe in the power of words and how language can change the world. Over time, this thought grew naturally within me—and now, here I am, sharing this journey with you.
​
​Yes, it took me a long time to figure out what I want to do in life. Now, at 29, I sometimes have negative thoughts about it. But in the end, I stop dwelling on them because the past can’t be changed. So if you haven’t found your path yet, please don’t worry too much. Sometimes it just takes time, but don’t let that spoil the present—you’ll get there when the time is right.
