I once went to the hospital with my grandfather. He saluted the doctor who passed by him. Baffled with his gesture, I asked him, “What was so special about these people wearing a white coat?” He replied, “They are a great human beings; they save people’s lives.” That was the day when I started dreaming about a career for myself in the medical field.

My dad’s constant emphasis on the importance of education was my motivating factor for my higher education. Growing up, I had to walk three hours just to reach my school. I still remember the day when my father saw me surrounded among hundreds of students in a class, he decided to send me to India for education instead. He was convinced that I would do well in a large classroom environment. That was a wise decision because after changing my school, I was a completely different person. I started participating in sports and also got scholarship for my higher education.

Soon after graduation, I was back to Nepal and it was my sister who first told me about Teach For Nepal. She also hinted to me that it is not going to be an easy step to take. However, I am committed to take it as a challenge and a duty. As a TFN Fellow, I am eager to share my knowledge with my probable students. I also want to make sure that they get enough skills so that they don’t have to struggle later in their life.
