When I was very young, we lived in a house with my extended family. But my uncle had a habit of physically abusing me and my siblings so my parents chose to move to a small room in an old house. My father had to leave the valley to earn money and we were scorned by our rich relatives who believed that people who live in poverty are being punished for being sinners. I developed an anxiety and was constantly fearful. One day, my mother introduced me to the story of Robinson Crusoe who survived all on his own on that island. I thought, if he can do that so can I, and with that inspiration I fought my anxiety Only with research did I discover how ghastly the condition of education is in Nepal. I volunteered with Canopy Nepal and learned about the problems that children in public schools go through. I found their problems of poverty similar to mine. The darkness in their eyes was familiar to me. Maybe I cannot bring about change by myself but I can definitely contribute to it. I believe that if I work sincerely and selflessly I can spread some light into such lives. My mother always motivated me to be a good human being. I think that Teach for Nepal Fellowship is a great opportunity for me to be the solution to the problems of children in Nepal.
