Education: Bachelor’s of English and Journalism, Kathmandu Model College

My mother never got to attend school, not because she did not want to or had the potential to succeed but simply because she was born as a girl. My father has always been a motivator to me; he has always supported my education as well as decisions I have made in my life. Though my mother is uneducated, she knows the difference education makes in a person’s life.

I have always excelled at school. I participated in intellectual events which helped me broaden my knowledge as well as earn respect. It also helped me study with scholarship which reduced the financial burden on my parents“To teach is to learn twice,” is the quote I read in my school day and to this day, I believe that one should share their knowledge and education to increase its value.

After graduating from Kathmandu Model College as a topper in Graduate studies, I was surfing the net and came across a question, “What if your first job was to change the nation?” The question intrigued me, after talking to the organization’s team member, I learned that as a Teach For Nepal Fellow, you don’t just teach during Fellowship, but also influence the students’ lives inside and outside the classroom.

Through this Fellowship, I want to change the way students learn. Teaching has evolved into a learning-centered classroom that focuses on student’s learning rather than on teacher’s delivery. To teach a new generation of learners, you have to immerse yourself in the classroom. Students are determined and driven to achieve more. It is best to introduce new ideas and technology instead of using old teaching methods.
