My parents both grew up very poor, struggling even for a proper meal. In such a situation access to education was beyond their luck and I have grown up listening to their stories of struggling to get a job, earn money, and sustain their lives because of that. Their stories always motivated and made me realise the importance of education in everyone’s life. Whenever I see poor people struggling to survive I remember the roots of my parents. Thus, from very young age, I was interested in social activities where I could add value to other’s life. Working as a facilitator for Women LEAD Nepal, I got to know how a single person can create a big impact in society through youth empowerment and education. While I was facilitating 200 adolescents from around Nepal at National Girl Power Conference-2015, I could see and feel an incompetency amongst youth from public schools. It made me feel that I could help so many children like them if I were a teacher. I also realised that I love children and I am good with them. I think that the next two years as TFN fellow will not only fulfil my quest of doing something to better society, but also that I will greatly enjoy them.
