Sangita grew up studying in a government school where resources were limited, and support was not always guaranteed, and it is precisely that experience that brings her to Teach For Nepal. She does not speak about it with bitterness, but with the particular clarity of someone who understands from the inside what it costs a child to learn in those conditions, and what a difference the right support can make. She is excited about the chance to create the kind of learning environment she herself did not always have — one where students feel confident, where science stops being something to fear, and where a child's background is understood as context, never as a ceiling. Through the Fellowship, she hopes to grow as a teacher and as a leader: to learn effective classroom practices, to understand her students' challenges both academically and emotionally, and to develop the communication and leadership skills that will allow her to contribute to something larger than a single classroom. Her larger goal is to support the development of society through education and the empowerment of young people, and she sees the Fellowship as the most direct path into that work, grounded in real communities, real students, and real stakes. If she can help even a few students discover their potential and stay motivated in their studies, she says, that would be enough.
