I was born and raised in Kathmandu in a strict family. Being a girl, I was little wild when I was surrounded by family members and shy when I was in the company of strangers. Most of the decision of my life have been made either by my mother or my father. My haircut, my clothes and even my friends were selected by my parents. I remember, my parents changing my school because of the friends I had made in school – they thought were a bad influence on me. I always wanted to help people since I was a kid, I was always inspired by the motivational videos of Jack Ma and stories of changing lives of people but my parents had other plans for me. Joining Teach For Nepal was probably the first decision I made by myself. I had a long talk with my parent about doing something that my heart desired and not something they had planned for me. It wasn’t easy, but they have realized that they can’t keep making the decision for me and it is time for me to be an adult. I know that Fellowship was not something my parents wants for me but deep down in my heart I know that after two years they will feel proud of my work and the lives I have transformed by venturing out of their shadows.
