Education: Bachelor of Science in Biology, Mahendra Morang Adarsha Multiple Campus, Tribhuvan University

As opposed to other kids, I was more into studies than extra-curricular activities in school. I felt shy about participating in ECAs. I was an obedient student in school and was always among the rank holders in my class. My school deserves credit for my proclivity towards studies. The teachers in my school motivated me to do better and as a result, I valued education more than anything else. The Science teacher in my school was one of the most inspiring teachers I had in my life. I remember his innovative ways of teaching, even after all these years. He is one of the reasons I was inclined to pursue science in higher studies. After completing high school, I tried almost two years for a scholarship to pursue medicine. This was my first failure in life. This phase taught me that failure is normal and it happens to everyone. I learned the importance of letting go after this experience. I see Teach For Nepal Fellowship as an opportunity to develop leadership qualities in me. During my Fellowship, I want to be much more than a teacher. And the very idea of changing the nation attracted me towards TFN.
