Despite going to a community school, I received a good education. However, the state of community school is not the same everywhere. The state of community schools in the rural parts of the country is even more critical compared to the community schools of the city or town. I believe that despite having different circumstances all of the students have an equal right to good education. I am indebted to the education I received for making me the person that I am today. In short, I would not even qualify to become a Teach For Nepal Fellow, if it were not for my education. I wanted to work via organizations. People in Nepal often have this misconception that social work is social service. To do social work, you don’t need wealth in your pocket, you need wealth in your heart. The zeal to do something for society was there in me for as long as I can remember. During my college days, I started looking at organizations that were working in fields related to social work; that is when I came across TFN. As soon as I heard of the work TFN was doing, I wanted to apply. However, I needed to complete my undergraduate study first. After my results were published, I was elated to apply for the Fellowship. I want to be part of this movement and contribute my part. The Alumni have contributed their part; their work inspires me. I wish to inspire future generations, as well. I feel connected to the movement as I completed my schooling at a community school. As a TFN Fellow, I want to give something to the community from my side rather than shifting the blame on the government and the system.
