Having lived a life full of hardship, I feel that I am prepared for anything in life. There were days when we bought half a kilogram of rice in credit and days when we waited for our relatives to give their old clothes to us. This made me responsible at an early age. I have taught tuition classes for more than six years and worked at quite a few places too.

People treated us like we couldn’t do anything in life just because we were poor and a few of them tried to convince my parents that this fellowship was not right for me. I want to prove many of them wrong–that is the major reason why I joined this fellowship. To the children I will be teaching, I want to spread the message that, “nothing is a hurdle if you work hard.”

I am excited to teach, but I’m also excited to learn things about the country as well. I believe that these two years will prepare me to face any challenge that may come in the future.
