As a child I wanted to be a helicopter pilot. My house was near an army camp and I would frequently see helicopters fly above my roof. Now, I would like to think that maybe one day I will ride a helicopter not as a pilot but as a passenger. As a student, I performed well academically, however I was too shy to participate in extra curricular activities even when I wanted to.

But everything changed when I realized I can grow more and make myself better. My perspective changed after the 2015 earthquake. I volunteered with an organization that was helping earthquake victims and I decided to challenge my fears by going on a solo trip. The experience I had made me realize my abilities and the fact that I can be much more than who I was now. I had the ability to make a difference in someone’s life and bring a change in society.

Working as a TFN Fellow, I want to teach the students the importance of education, and encourage them to gain knowledge in the fields they are interested in. I will also use this as an opportunity to enhance my skills and gain new ones.
