I started my schooling in Dhangadi. I loved going to school and was a good student, I was sincere with my studies and participated in extracurricular activities. But when I moved to Kathmandu everything changed. I wasn’t performing well in classes and even though I wanted to, I never participated in activities outside the classroom. This continued till I moved back to Dhangadi in the ninth grade.

In Kathmandu, I didn’t find any of my teachers to be inspiring or encouraging. Moving back home, I got a mentor who helped me see my own potential. He brought back my confidence and created an environment where I could explore and grow.

I never thought I’d be able to commit for a two-year Fellowship and yet here I am. I was encouraged to apply because Teach For Nepal’s vision matches with the vision, I have set for myself which is to bring a change with the education I have. More than a teacher I want to be someone’s mentor and well-wisher. I am looking forward to living in a new community, culture and taking up new challenges.
