Even as a child I was very familiar with the demon that is inequality. The first form of this demon that I encountered was discrimination between rich and poor. The demon built walls between what I wanted to do and what my parents could afford. As I grew up the demon showed me other forms. The lower and higher casts, the girls and boys, the touchables and untouchables; the list goes on. One day I saw an advertisement titled “WHAT IF YOUR FIRST JOB WAS CHANGING THE NATION?” It was the most powerful statement I had ever heard. It made me stop right at that moment and choose a completely new path I had never considered before. TFN is an opportunity to learn about myself and what I am capable of, to serve my place of birth, and to fight against the demon that I have always been afraid of. I have seen in my parents the struggle that results from lack of education, and in myself the way that education changes lives. That is why I am at TFN.
