My parents are the biggest inspirations in my life. My father, an ex-Indian Army personal, has taught me that age is not a barrier for people who want to learn. My mother constantly reminds me that our will power is stronger than our suffering. She taught herself how to read and write through sheer will even when her parents were against it. They have always been the source of positive energy for me.

As a student, I encountered two kinds of teachers: one that prioritized competition and appreciated only the bright kids in class. Their only cared about your grades in exams. Another set of teachers, however, were the ones who taught with gusto and instilled a sense of responsibility in students towards their studies. It is thanks to the latter I got to explore more about life during my college life. I participated in various competitions and fund raisers in college while steadily improving my grades.

Teach For Nepal has given me a stage to fulfill my duty as a citizen, it has helped me realize my true potential. As a Fellow I will look to make a positive difference in the lives of students and fight the inequity in education. As a group I believe we will be able to bring a change in this country.
