I lost my father when I was three years old and my mother struggled really hard for my upbringing and education. I was in my own world attending a very good school that made me think that quality education was guaranteed to everyone. However, when I started volunteering at an organization working for widowed women, I realized how hard it was for my mother to educate me and to make me who I am today.

I was thrilled about this fellowship as it is an opportunity to change the lives of children.

The struggle of others is something that made me apply for this opportunity to help spread education in a very distant underprivileged community.

After a lot of contemplation, I decided what I actually want to do in my life. I want to make the children understand that they are equally competitive and have the caliber to compete. It is very exciting to think about how we as fellows can be change makers in the students’ lives by inspiring them to continue their education.
