My name is Linn Htet Maung Maung, and I am proud to be one of the STAR of LP4Y (Life Project 4 Youth).


After the military coup in Myanmar over four years ago, my life was filled with uncertainty. I was an under-high school graduate, and in my country, most companies don't accept candidates without a diploma. I felt lost, unsure of what to do or how to move forward. All I wanted was a decent job, but I didn’t know where to begin. 

   

Living in Myanmar today is not easy. The country is still facing a lot of political problems. Many young people, like me, lost access to education and job opportunities. Internet restrictions, inflation, and daily fear make life more difficult. It's hard to plan for the future in a place where things change so quickly. Many families have been separated, many people live in fear, and the dreams of Youth are often delayed.


One day, my brother told me about LP4Y. At first, I didn’t understand what the program was about. But I made a decision: Even if I didn’t know everything, I would try – because I had nothing to lose. After two months in the program, I realized that LP4Y was exactly what I needed. It gave me the coaching, the mindset, and the practical skills for a working environment. I learned how to understand myself better, how to prepare for work, and most importantly, how to believe in my future.


Even after graduating, I faced challenges. I didn’t get a job right away. But I remembered what my coaches told me: "

"Be patient. The right opportunity takes time."

I went through many interviews, failed several times, but I never gave up.


Finally, two months after finishing LP4Y, I was offered a position at CMA CGM as an Administrative Officer. Many of the skills I use now, I learned at LP4Y  from communication to time management, from teamwork to professionalism.


Today, I’m thankful. I’m still learning, still growing, and always looking for new opportunities to build my future. I didn’t just receive skills, it also gave me confidence, direction, and hope.

Call Girls In Bangalore are really what people usually mean by beautiful and intelligent. Their alluring and seductive touch along with their confident and positive attitude could make an individual fall in love with her in no time at all. Completely enjoyed and loved every second of the time I spent with her.
