I was an average student, but  always landing within the top 10 ranks. I dont claim I was too hard-working but loved playing more as a child. The only achievement I can think of during school days was that I was more famous for my command of English than my classmates.  Once, I remember, an English teacher read out my essay on the festival of “Dashain”.  I think my nose went over the roof that day.  I have always been an EnGlishish teacher' pet.  I think that was my only achievement in school.  A teacher reading my essay out loud in class has always had one confidence in life that I am just able to communicate and articulate in English.  The quality that helped me achieve it was my passion and interest in English. I loved both grammar and literature.  Although, I wish my school focused more on English literature. We soaked in whatever the courses offered. 
I became a Saathi Teacher because it allows me to peek into the school system of different public schools in the country.  I am one of those privileged people who had the opportunity to study in a Private school—having always seen differences and inequality between government and private schools, and I want to be of little help to fill this gap in inequality in education.  I want to learn and explore what they can achieve with little support and encouragement with these children.  
 
I want to complete this journey with the satisfaction I have ignited in these children's quest for knowledge.  I want them to discover their capability after hard work and seeking knowledge. I will add passion for learning and make learning fun for the students. I want to raise their conscience and awareness about the environment and society.
