Growing up in a remote area of ​​Nepal, I observed that my family members were struggling economically and my parents expected me to take care of my younger sister and help her with household chores. I knew my parents couldn't go to college after high school. And I was aware that many challenges awaited me in my academic career. I think my family and society have influenced my perception of myself as a human being and my decision-making process. I'm not sure what my grandmother and grandfather studied in their lives or even if they went to school. I remember my mother saying that our father drove a truck as part of his job throughout his life. However, growing up in a large family, I did not have the chance to see my father.
