Growing up in a community where discrimination based on caste was deeply ingrained, I had limited interactions with children from other communities, especially because my family belonged to a lower caste. This sense of separation and prejudice was further reflected in my school, where caste-based teasing among students was common. These experiences had a lasting impact on me, shaping my perspective on inequality and injustice. Unfortunately, my teachers played a significant role in reinforcing this environment. Instead of offering guidance and support, many of them were dismissive and failed to foster a positive or encouraging learning atmosphere.

Ironically, it was these very negative experiences with my teachers that ultimately inspired me to apply for the Teach For Nepal Fellowship. I realized that I could be better than the teachers who failed me as a student. I want to become a teacher who empowers students, helps them grow into better versions of themselves, and fosters an environment of respect and leadership. My goal is to be the teacher my students can look up to—one who nurtures communication, self-confidence, and a sense of justice, ensuring that they never feel the same neglect and lack of guidance that I experienced.
