My father had to go through a lot of challenges while growing up. Despite his best efforts he could only manage to complete his SLC. Due to various circumstances, he couldn’t study further. That is why he decided that he wouldn’t compromise on his children’s education.

For this, he moved the family to Biratnagar where I completed my intermediate level and then moved to the capital to complete my bachelor’s degree. I was also the first person in my family to not only get a post graduate degree but also to go to college.

When my father was the chairman of the village, he was active in social work. This stimulated me to follow his lead, and what better way to do it than Teach For Nepal. Within these two years as a Fellow, I have an opportunity to provide better education to the children in rural areas and make a small contribution in filling the gap of education inequity. I hope to enhance my teaching skills and personal development during the Fellowship.
