My Scholarship entry - A local encounter that changed my life
WORLDWIDE | Friday, 23 March 2012 | Views [260] | Scholarship Entry
After I completed the final exam of grade 10, I had a dilemma in choosing a place for my studies. Although I wanted to leave my hometown, I found it difficult to leave my parents. I promised them that I would study really hard in high school and make them proud. Eventually, they did let me go to Kathmandu for my studies. I was very excited as well as anxious, since I had not visited Kathmandu in ten years. Finally, I left for Kathmandu to meet new challenges. After I arrived in Kathmandu, I was very happy but also very nervous, as the place was new to me. Then, I made a call to my uncle, who was working at one of the private companies in Kathmandu. One after another, we began to search for a room to rent, because my uncle had no room at his house for me. Finding a room for rent in Kathmandu was very hard. We could not get housing for 2 weeks. We grew tired of searching for a room.
Finally after a few days, I got a room, though it was very small in area. The life in a room was very difficult in Kathmandu. I had to compromise most of the things that I had never done before in my life. There was a shortage of water which compelled me to use a very limited amount of water for domestic purposes. Besides, there was a shortage of petroleum gases which made me oblige to eat outside at a hotel for a several days. I was struggling with my life because I had never faced such problems before in my life.
