The biggest overall lesson that college taught me was how possible it is to achieve your dreams. I always thought that I would go to college but never understood how hard it would be until I was actually there. It was not until I had to really multi-task, commute, work, while maintaining an internship until I realized the efforts it would take.

I am a part of my community in Nepal and will always be connected to it forever. I am a resource to my community and will help towards making it better than what it is today.

That independence will help you push boundaries you thought you were incapable of.
