The most significant function of my mother's bank has been her consistent investment in my future. She invests her time helping me with homework, her energy attending my school functions, and her wisdom guiding me through difficult decisions. Unlike financial investments that aim for financial returns, my mother invests in me without expecting anything back. Her only goal is to see me grow into a good person who can stand on her own feet.

My favorite memory of my mother teaching me the value of money and savings when I was in class 7.That one day,she took with me with her to a slum area and showed me the poor,underprivileged people living there and struggling to work to earn for a living. She taught me that how fortunate are we compared to them.She made me realize that the chocolate I want to buy every time while coming from school is worth the price of food that those people can buy and eat for a day.This made me understand the real value of money,because actual value depends on who spends it.A 100tk kinder joy is worth only a moment for us, but with the same 100tk note, a poor and hungry person can buy bread, rice and daal for himself or his kids to feed for one whole day.
My mother also said me that earning money should not be our only aim in life, because even if I earn a lot, but that wouldn't help someone else.So I should be an entrepreneur who will create jobs/employment for others & have impact on their lives.

From a young age, my mother taught me the value of saving—not through lectures, but by example. Her nurturing spirit shaped my understanding of money, and I naturally inherited her habits. She gently discouraged me from spending on things I didn’t need, always guiding me toward thoughtful choices.
Whenever I received money on special occasions, I’d hand it to her to keep safe. In Grade 2, I asked for my own little bank. My father agreed, and with my mother’s encouragement, I began saving on my own. I was thrilled—my very own place to store money!
Since then, I’ve saved gifts from Eid, birthdays, and rewards for good results. Now, I’m building a fund for my future university abroad. Every time I drop a coin in, I think of my mom—my mentor, my guide—who taught me not to waste on the unnecessary.
Love you, Mom.

Mothers are our first teachers, best friends, first banks. I first learnt the value of saving money from my mother. One day I saw a beautiful kitchen set and begged her to buy it for me. She told me that she would buy it for me but only if I saved the money myself. I agreed and started to save up but deep down I secretly held a grudge against her. I couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t buy me the kitchen set. I started doing extra chores and saving the small allowances I used to get. It was hard to resist the urge to not buy every cute hairclip or small toy but it was all worth it when I finally got to buy my kitchen set. My mother was also very proud of me for being patient, so she bought me a doll to match with my kitchen set. That was when I understood by letting me earn it, she taught me the value of money. I also learnt an important lesson of how to save money for different purposes like buying things or for a good cause. From then I grew the habit of saving. I love my mother.

When she did all her household chores, toiling from dawn to dusk, and dashing from one room to another with sweats dripping down her forehead and exhaustion settling in her face, I would always notice one thing! A small knot tied at the loose end of her saree! You might be wondering what might be the reason behind it! But truth be told, it was not mere a knot that contained some hard-saved, old, sweaty, worn-out notes. It was, in fact, what taught me that tiny drops of water can form a sea; it was what taught me that even a journey of miles starts with a single step; it was what taught me that a penny saved is a penny earned; it was what taught me how to save for the rainy days.

আমার মা, আমার প্রথম ব্যাংক
আমার মা-ই আমার প্রথম ও শ্রেষ্ঠ ব্যাংক—-যেখানে আবদার, অভিযোগ, ভালোবাসা, ভরসা আর গোপন কথা জমা করি চুপিচুপি। মমতাময়ী মা আমাকে অর্থের মূল্য নয় শিখিয়েছেন অর্থের সঠিক ব্যবহার।
মা আমাকে একটি ছোট ঘরের মতন ‘কয়েন বক্স ‘ কিনে দিয়ে বলেছিলেন “এখানে টাকা জমাও। ঠিক সময়ে বড় কাজে লাগবে।” ঈদে সালামী পেলে বা পকেটমানি জমলে সেগুলো কয়েন বক্সে জমিয়েছিলাম। ২০২৪ সালে সিলেটে ভয়াবহ বন্যায় ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত মানুষের পাশে দাঁড়ানোর উদ্যোগ নেয় আমাদের স্কুল। আমি আমার কয়েন বক্সের সমস্ত টাকা দান করি স্কুল ফান্ডে। প্রিন্সিপাল মিস এবং ক্লাস টিচার এই কাজের খুব প্রশংসা করেন। সবাই অবাক হয় আমি কিভাবে এমন সিদ্ধান্ত নিয়েছিলাম। কিন্তু আমি জানতাম এই সিদ্ধান্তটাই মায়ের শিক্ষা। আমাকে আরো একটি মাটির ব্যাংক কিনে দিয়ে বলেছেন—“আবার জমাও। হয়তো তোমারই প্রয়োজন হতে পারে, বা কারো বিপদে পাশে দাঁড়াতে পারবে ।”
আমার মা, আমার প্রথম ব্যাংক—যিনি শুধু টাকা জমাতে শিখাননি, শিখিয়েছেন কাকে, কখন, কীভাবে সেটা কাজে লাগাতে হয়। তিনি বলেন—-“টাকার আসল মূল্য তখনই , যখন তা একজন মানুষের মুখে হাসি ফোটাতে পারে।”

From an early age, I was interested in commerce. My mother was a banker so she shared her knowledge about banking. Naturally I didn’t understand much about that subject when I was young. So she taught me about the subject in many smart ways. When I was four, she used to give me little coins to safekeep. Back then, I didn’t understand the value of money so I was more interested in playing with these. I used to lose great numbers of coins by accident. She would say, “You had fifty takas at the start of the day but now you have none. With fifty takas, five chocolates can be bought but now you can’t”. This taught me the fundamental notion that nothing can be bought without money. The examples which I have written is one of her countless advices. To write about them all is to write a giant book with infinite pages. I am truly grateful to her patience and amazed by her wisdom about money.

I didn't pay much attention to money and I definitely did not have any intention to save money. That changed one day while helping my mother clean her room when she took out this porcelain globe with animals on it. Back then I didn't know what a piggy bank was. Curious to see what was inside, I watched as we struggled, laughing at our failed attempts. The key was in front of us. As she opened it, dozens of coins fell out like little raindrops. She told me the story behind each coin- some old, new and even foreign ones, souvenirs from countries my parents visited. Inspired, I began to start on my own journey and started saving up. Now I'm older and understand the aspects of saving money and the impacts they can have on a person. My mom taught me that money should be earned through resilience and patience. A few months ago, I bought my first ever guitar with my saved money. I would like to thank my parents - especially my mother. Her love, care and sacrifices made me who I am today.

My mother is the best mother in the world. My mother is a very special person. She loves me, takes care of me and helps me every day. She is also my first bank. When I was little I started saving money and coins from relatives, my family and from my parents.
One day in the book fair I wanted to buy a book, but my mom say "do you really need it" then I say yes,
after that my mother gave me a budget how many money I can spend, then she said" buy from your budget but keep a little" then a thought came to my mind "if I spend it all now how will I have enough savings to buy the things that i need in the future" so I followed my budget and kept a little,
then one day i really needed a stationary then the savings that i managed came in handy.
{and this will benefit me for my entire life}

My My Mommy, My First Bank
By: Farisha Islam
From a young age, my mother showed me what it means to save. Not through strict lessons, but by leading with quiet wisdom. I watched her record every expense in a little notebook and plan every purchase carefully. She gave me my first piggy bank and taught me to save for things I love. That joy of reaching a goal on my own is something I’ll never forget.
More than saving money, she taught me to value kindness. Both my parents do social work, especially helping underprivileged children. Seeing their compassion made me realize how powerful it is to give. I now try to help in small ways too, and it makes me feel deeply connected to my country and its people.
My mother is so much more than my first bank. She is my quiet teacher, my inspiration, and the heart behind the values I carry every day.

"টাকাটা হারিও না। টাকা গাছে ধরে না।"
আমার মা আমাকে বলেছিলেন যখন আমার বয়স ছিল পাঁচ।
তখন আমার মনে হয়েছিল, "টাকাতো এক টুকরো কাগজ। এর জন্য এত ছোটাছুটি কেন?"
আমি মাকে জিজ্ঞেস করি, "মা, এই কাগজের মূল্য এত কেন?"
মা বললেন,
"তোমাকে যে আইসক্রিমটা কিনে দিলাম, তুমি খুশি হয়েছো, না?"
আমি মাথা নাড়ালাম।
"আমার কাছে যদি টাকা না থাকতো, আমি এটা কিনে দিতে পারতাম না।
টাকা ছাড়া কিছু কেনা যায় না।
পৃথিবীটাই টাকা দিয়ে চলে।
যাদের টাকা নেই, তারা কষ্টে থাকে, কিছুই করতে পারে না।"
আমি বললাম, "মা, আমি অনেক টাকা চাই। কীভাবে পাব?"
মা বললেন, "টাকা জমাতে হবে। আসো।"
দোকান থেকে মা একটি মাটির হাড়ি কিনে দিলেন।
বললেন, "যত টাকা পাবে, হাড়ির ভিতর রাখবে। একদিন যখন ভরে যাবে, তখন তুমি অনেক টাকার মালিক হবে।"
সেদিন থেকেই টাকা জমানো শুরু করি।
আজ দশ বছর পরেও আমি এই অভ্যাস ছাড়িনি।
আমি সবসময় টাকা জমাই।
এই শিক্ষার জন্য আমি আমার মায়ের প্রতি চিরঋণী।
এই কথা আমি কখনো ভুলবো না।

From my childhood, my mom, Rupoti Saha, has been the most important person in my life. She raised me with endless love, care, and dedication, always putting my needs before her own. From the moment I was born, she gave me everything she had—her time, her energy, and her heart. No matter how tired she was or what challenges she faced, she never stopped caring for me, teaching me right from wrong, and helping me become the person I am today. She was always there—holding my hand when I was scared, encouraging me when I wanted to give up, and celebrating with me when I achieved something. Rupoti Saha was not just my mother; she was my first teacher, my protector, and my best friend. Her love was unconditional, and I always felt safe and supported in her presence. She shaped my values, taught me how to be kind and strong, and believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself. Growing up with her love is the greatest gift I could have ever received.
Love You Mom♥️

One day I was a little girl in my school uniform going to the bank with my mother. This was shortly after Eid, so the bank uncle asked me about my Eid money. I stupidly said that my mother stole all my Eid money. The bank uncle told me that he would start me a student bank account and my mother had to put all my Eid money in that account and money will grow there. That was the start to my financial understanding. Each year we were allowed to take 1500 taka from our own bank account. I love books so that year I wanted to get books with my money. When I went there I realised I could only buy two books with the money I had.Then my mother told me to save some money so next year I could get more money and more books. Though I didn’t understand how money grows. This was where my understanding of savings came from.
My mother, my financial guide, so thanks to my mother who single-handedly made me understand the value of money all in my 11 years of life. She is truly a superhero.

I learned saving not from lectures, but from watching my mother—the greatest teacher I’ve ever known. She took me to the market, compared prices, and walked past things she liked just to save a few takas. “Not today,” she’d whisper with a smile. At home, she counted leftover coins, noting every expense in her little notebook. Her greatest lesson lived in her cupboard—a locked metal box of 2,000 five-taka coins my father gave her when they married. “Start small,” he said. She never spent them. “Some savings,” she told me, “are promises, not money.” Once, I saw her cry, counting coins from another box just to buy me shoes. That night, I cleaned an old jar and began saving. When I offered it to her, she hugged me tight and wrote, “This is the day I saw myself in you.” Now my jar sits beside hers. I’m only 12, but I save too—not to be rich, but to be ready. My mother taught me that saving is not about money—it’s love, patience, and quiet strength.

From a young age, my mother was my greatest financial teacher—not through lectures, but through quiet, powerful example. She introduced me to saving with a glass jar, saying, “Earn it, save it, then spend it wisely.” Each coin I dropped in became a lesson in patience and discipline.
Despite limited means, she managed every rupee with care—writing expenses in a worn notebook, planning meals, stretching every resource to ensure we never lacked the essentials. I watched her make sacrifices—skipping her own needs so I could have school supplies or a treat I longed for.
She taught me the difference between needs and wants, the importance of planning, and the value of hard-earned money. Her strength and foresight became the blueprint for how I now manage my own finances. I proudly submit this story and a photo of us to honor the woman whose wisdom, love, and quiet guidance shaped my foundation for a financially responsible life.
