Education: Bachelor of Science in Botany, Patan Multiple Campus

I come from an average middle-class family in Shikharpa Village located in Lele of central Lalitpur. My parents tried the best within their means to provide me with quality education available in my community by having me enroll at the local private school. However, since it had to shut down, I ended up joining a public school for my 8th to 10th-grade education. Here, on one side, I learned about the challenges that many public school children face in Nepal but on the other, I also came across some teachers who inspired me through their handwork and encouraging teaching style. I learned through them how teachers can make a difference in the lives of students. As the school topper of the SLC batch, I studied +2 under full scholarship and went on to study Plant Science. As I was exploring my post-Bachelors options, I learned about Teach For Nepal. Although I was a little nervous about teaching in a village, hearing the story of the impact made by Teach For Nepal Fellows at a school close to my own village added to my morale and a sense of responsibility that I owe the same. I have now joined this Fellowship so that the generations of students coming after me no longer have to go through the difficulties and limitations that I and my generations went through
