I was somewhat shy and reserved as a kid. However, I was focused on my education from an early age. I worked hard in school. After completing my pre-schooling from a public school I went to a private school- one of the biggest private schools in the town. Initially, I struggled to cope with the private school but soon I was among the rank holders. When I returned to my hometown in Achham during vacations, I could see children my age who did not go to school. After dropping out of school, their opportunities in life would be limited. Most of them planned to go to India, in search of employment. They would have to work in hazardous and precarious conditions to earn a living. All of that could have been avoided only if they had gone to school and completed their education. Seeing this state of education in my hometown, I valued my education even more. When I was transferred from a public school to a private one, I could see an immense difference in the quality of education. Teach For Nepal is trying to bridge that gap between private and public schools. TFN aims to upgrade the quality of education in public schools in Nepal, and I want to contribute to that.
