Tell us why you became a teacher

I enjoy interacting with children and sharing knowledge with them. At the same time, I learn many new things from their curiosity and creativity, which makes teaching a joyful and meaningful experience for Me. These reasons inspired me to become a teacher.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

When I was a teacher in my home country, one of the proudest moments in my career was seeing two of my students get selected to study at IIT Kharagpur (Ivy League )for their bachelor’s degree after their 12th grade . It was a very rewarding experience and made me feel happy to see my students achieve their goals.

What would you do with the $25,000?

My dream is to gift a house to my parents as a token of gratitude, because they helped me achieve my goals and stood by me through every high and low in my life.”
