I come from a middle-class family. My father is a government officer and my mother is a housewife. Overall, I’d describe my childhood as good. Since I was an introvert, I spent most of my time with my family. After completing my SLC, I wanted to study in Kathmandu. But my parents couldn’t afford to send me to the capital. My only option was to get a HSEB scholarship. The day I got the news that I got the scholarship was the best day of my life.
I started my schooling in a private school and then attended a public school after the second grade. In that way, I have seen both sides of the world. The difference between a private school and a public one is huge. Among other things, there is a difference in the way the teachers treat students, the sense of punctuality among both students and teachers etc.
After my graduation, I was unsure of what to do next when I saw the advertisement for Teach For Nepal. I decided to apply for the Fellowship since I felt that I can bring unique insight, and a positive, collaborative attitude to end education inequality in our country. Having went to a public school, I am aware about the challenges that students from public school face. So, using my own education and experience, I want to lead the students towards their dreams.
