This is the story of Mahira Elsa—a story of dreams, hard work, and limitless possibilities.
Hopes and dreams aren’t too far to reach, starting from a young age, Mahira Elsa shows that.
Born on May 22, 2014 in Barishal, Elsa always shows interest in English. Learn English on her own with no help from others but her family. Her parents quickly picked up on their daughter’s talents and took her to the best English version school at that time at the age of just 4. Even as a toddler she always tried to go beyond reaching limits of education, eager to know more and more.
Teachers and her parents always support her to go further and beyond, this is how the journey of Mahira Elsa begins. Not just by luck.
Growing Talents
Back then, English wasn’t available for most in that time, but Mahira Elsa surprisingly caught on with native English when she was only six. Not only catching the attention of her principal sir but also her school knew that she was capable of giving speeches ever since she was four. In fact, she has given many speeches during projects, national memorials, and even a speech for 12th year celebration of her school. And all of those speeches were prepared and presented by her and executed greatly from a toddler. But immaculate speech isn’t the only surprising gift she has.
That small spark of hope was all that Elsa needed to find out everything about herself, even if she was just setting foot into a new world.
Hidden Talents
Gifted kids aren’t unheard of, but then there’s Elsa who tries everything with her gift to figure out more. Curious to find out what she is capable of, and that curiosity lead to many roads. Like with a stroke of her pencil, she began to show love for something new, art! and even to this day she draws every chance she gets. But by drawing those shapes, cutting them, and sticking them together. She found that crafting has been apart of her ever since she picked that paper.
She used to read many books for children and some beyond her limit.She noticed in fantasy books that children could do everything! Like reading , writing,and everything that people would consider impossible for a child, but not Elsa, she thought ‘Why keep it a fantasy? Why not make it real?’ So she asked her mother to enroll her into lessons. Like swimming, playing the guitar, cycling, skating, playing the keyboard, chess, Karate, Quran recitation, video editing, programming, dancing, singing and many more.
But there are many aspects that she had to learn on her own. Such are cycling, skating, chess with her family, and video editing. It wasn’t easy, but Elsa is a girl who never gave up and kept thriving, knowing that there’s more to learn and achieve.
Achievements
As a kid, many adults around her noticed that she was always bright in academic studies and achieved many gifts in extra curricular activities. And when she was 7-8. As example, her first ever competition was Math Genie, hosted by her school. She may not have won, but she decided that she should step up to achieve more, starting small from swimming, then slowly her way to skating. And achieved crests from both, which helped her grow more confidence . So from there on she made her way to dancing, the achievements started small from competitions. But then she got nationally recognised as 1st by the competition in the whole Division. One of the first major competitions in her life was Bake’s Man Third International Language Leaugue. Securing as the champion by winning over multiple schools, it wasn’t easy. But getting achievements rooted a small seed of determination.
She wouldn’t stop at in English Language Competition , she would take part in Art Competitions as well, such as KPR Art Competition! Selected to go to Nepal and India for her artistic talents.
“So why not writing this time?” She used to think. So she first took part in The Queen’s Commonwealth Writing Competition (RCS) in 2024. And with many drafts, re-writes and such. She managed to submit her work, and in a few months, it was revealed her place was secured as Bronze Award. But why stop at Bronze? So again in 2025, she gave another entry to the writing competition one more time. This time the result came back with pleasant news, her place was secured as The Silver Award.
And very recently in Zero Olympiad, she has made an astonishing achievement by being one of their eight anchors and a finalist! Not only that, but she was announced as SDG 1’s First Runner Up. Along with that she becomes the finalist in English Olympiad. It wasn’t a first time experience for her, as she was an anchor for Swapnojoy Program (NTV)

She’s a Climate Activist, and a youth leader. Thriving to get the word of Climate Change out to the young minds like her. But not all young minds can learn something as big as Climate Change without knowing at least a bit of English. So that’s why Elsa has a few channels to help out the younger children that wish to be like her. She wishes to help them too,
