I am the youngest member in my family. My parents sent me to the best school they could afford. But as a kid I never liked going to school. The reason being my teachers. They used to praise only those students who came first or second in class. Although I was an average student, I used to complete my assignments on time and participated in various co-curricular activities.

Volunteering in various organizations has helped me grow as a leader. I developed leadership skills when I was appointed class representative in college. I felt satisfied while helping others and I was learning new skills at the same time. I used to work in an orphanage and that is when I got a chance to get connected with underprivileged kids. There I realized that if given equal opportunity and a platform those kids could actually work as leaders in the community.

While all of this was happening, I was in touch with one of the TFN Alumni, then a Fellow, whom I had seen working for the community. I was attracted by her dedication and work. I wanted to do the same as a volunteer and a leader. I immediately applied to join TFN after completing my undergraduate because I wanted to be part of a movement to change the traditional education system where not just studious students are praised but students with different abilities also get equally recognized.
