Home: Dharmasthali, Kathmandu, Bagmati

Education: Bachelor's of Science, Tri Chandra Multiple Campus

I was born at Dharmasthali VDC inside Kathmandu district. Alongside studies, I participated occasionally in sports and music but did not excel in these activities. I loved being seated at the back because it was a perfect spot for me to observe the class silently.

For me, school was not fun because teachers used corporal punishment. The school was focused only on memorizing the course rather than understanding the subjects and reading materials. Though the technique helped students get good results and pass the final exams, it failed in getting students to understand the core meaning of the content.

When I first heard about Teach For Nepal and its aim to impact the nation through a systemic change in education, I was eager to find out more information about it. Learning about the movement, Teach For Nepal’s work to engage youth in rural communities, its rigorous selective process, and its training and support system to build teachers into role models for children made the Fellowship even more compelling to me. Looking towards my Fellowship, I am excited to teach children to venture beyond the classroom. I will feel successful if I can help them set long-term academic and non-academic goals. In addition, as an adult, if they become self-standing and support the community they belong to. I would count that as my success.
