My maa and buba have been the most important people in my self-development. They are my strength. From them I learned that we should never give up on our dreams. In the era where having a son was everyone’s priority, my sisters and I never faced any discrimination inside my family. However, it was different with the society. I want to prove the society wrong. My parents believed in us and one day I want to make them proud.

I remember when anyone ask what you want to become when you grow up and I used to say a teacher. I’d wear my mother’s heels and carry her bag and imitate my teachers. I believe education helps widen the perspective of a person and teachers play a vital role molding a student inside the classroom. It is up to them to build a warm environment, mentor and nurture students, as well as to listen and look for signs of trouble.

I got to know about Teach For Nepal through a friend of mine. I always saw pictures of her travelling all over Nepal on her social media. Curious I asked her what she was doing and came to know about the organization. The phrase, “What if your first job was changing the nation” caught my attention and I thought how beautiful would it be if I could join the organization. It took some time but I finally got selected as a Fellow in 2020. As a Fellow I look forward to be more confident about myself, to be open to every situation, and also to get over my shy nature.
