When I was a child, I wanted to become a theater actor. I would watch serials and movies; actors would get to play different roles and I was blown away by the concept of acting. Acting is not the only art I enjoyed, I enjoyed writing poems. My school days were full of fun; I was a diligent student and an amicable kid. Amid all the fun, I had my fair share of struggle too. I went to a public school and when I moved to another school after grade 7, I struggled with English. I had a hard time comprehending this dreadful language. My siblings were fixated on making me master this subject and with their help, my speaking and writing skills improved significantly. In the class, I never shied away from asking a question. If I had a problem in understanding, I wouldn’t think twice before questioning my teacher. Soon I was able to walk toe to toe with my English-speaking friends. This incident taught me the benefits of hard work, but it also helped me understand the gap between schooling systems. My sister pushed me to apply for the Teach For Nepal Fellowship. She insisted that I should apply as I have a well-rounded perspective of the education system in Nepal. I studied in both public and private institutions so I was aware of the rift that exists between them. My experiences made me firmly believe that I should apply for the Fellowship for the betterment of education.
