I broke into tears at the sight of construction workers one day when they were working in torn clothes despite the cold weather, and a 4-5-year-old was crying for her busy mother. Seeing me in tears, my father said, “Don’t feel bad, one day you will definitely get a chance to help them.” My parents are my role models who taught me kindness, compassion, manners, disciplines, and values. They never taught me shortcuts, and always supported and encouraged me in my every decision. I wanted to be a part of Teach for Nepal because I want to prove my parents that they were right. As a holder of Master’s degree in Genetics I could have taught in a good college or university but I chose Teach For Nepal so that I can make a direct and immediate impact on the lives of the ones who need it the most.

I am also inspired by my mathematics teacher who made me want to become like him - patient, perseverant, kind hearted, little humorous and a good human being. As a Teach For Nepal Fellow, I’d like to be a friendly teacher who is well planned before going to a classroom, enjoyable and able to pass on the same values and classroom cultures that I have benefited from. I want my classroom to be stress-free and the students to be very comfortable to speak and answer any questions. I want a strong communicative relationship with my students and their families. With friendships and strong bonds, I think I will not leave any stone unturned.

The youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai inspires me, “One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world”. I do think that as a teacher I can also change the world. I have a passion for helping every single child educate, nurture, polish and make them a good citizen for the welfare of our nation and humanity.

Through Teach For Nepal, I feel that the day has come now when I can prove my parents right.
