When I was a child, I was very impressed with the actors in movies. Every Saturday, without fail, I’d sit in front of the TV to watch movies. I wished to be like the actors I saw in TV and at home would act like the ‘hero’ who would show up in the nick of time to save the day.

One incident that taught me to stand up for myself was when I was hit by a taxi. At first I didn’t know what happened but once I gathered my thoughts, I stood up and started taking pictures of the vehicle and the driver. The driver was very apologetic and although my jacket was torn and I was hurt, I decided to pardon him.

This desire to save the day led me to study journalism through which I hope to bring changes in the society. It was the same desire that compelled me to apply for Teach For Nepal. I want to be a good teacher while fulfilling my responsibility to serve the nation. My long term mission is to establish a school that nourishes the students and inspires them to contribute to the development of their country.
