Please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences in the space below (1000 character maximum).
After I completed my final exam of grade 10, I was in dilemma in choosing a place for my study. I was interested at Kathmandu; however, my parents recommended me to study in my hometown so that I could support them in their business. Although I mentioned many benefits in studying there, my parents did not allow me to go. Afterwards, I made promise to them that I would score good marks in my high school being a good student. Consequently, they did let me go to Kathmandu for my study. I was very excited as well as anxious since it was my first trip to Kathmandu after the age of 5. Finally, with lots of challenges I went towards Kathmandu.
After I arrived at Kathmandu, I was very happy but was very nervous, since the place was new to me. Then, I made a call to my uncle, who was working in one of the private companies in Kathmandu. Then, we began to search for the room in rent for me. Since there was no place in my uncle's house to stay, I had to stay alone in somewhere else. Finding a room in rent at Kathmandu was very hard. We could not get room for 2 weeks. We were tired of searching room. Finally, I got room, though it was very small in area. I along with my uncle got some sort of relief when I got a room to stay. The life in rent was very difficult in Kathmandu. I had to compromise most of the things that I had never done in my life before. The problem of water is very high in Kathmandu especially to the people staying a house rent. There is no sufficient to water to use even for the domestic purposes. I was compelled to use very limited amount of water for cooking, washing, and other domestic activities. Besides, there was problem of petroleum gases which made me oblige to eat outside at a hotel for 4 days. The life was really very struggling for me because; I had not faced such problems before in my life. Slowly, I manage all the problems and became able to adjust with such environment. Managing all the difficulties, I began to prepare for entrance in high school. The entrance exam in high school was a challenging task. There were different students from different parts of Nepal at Kathmandu which created a huge competition.
After 3 months, the result of the exam of grade 10 has published. I along with my parents was very happy with my result, which also motivated me in doing well in high school. Then I got admission in one of the high schools of Kathmandu with some sorts of scholarship. Finally, I began my high school at Kathmandu. During my stay at school, I made many new friends but, some of them were smokers and drunkard. However, I did not get involve with them because I had made promise to my parents, which made me concentrate on study rather than other bad activities. Some of my friends urged me to have a smoke but, I refused to do so. The time was passing but, the problem related to water was still the same. Anyway, my study was going well. Consequently I scored high marks in 11th grade. Similarly, I got distinction in grade 12. Finally, I fulfilled the promise I made to my parents.
If I was studying at my hometown I would not have score such high scores as I did in Kathmandu. Some of my friend, who have studied in my hometown regret in not studying at Kathmandu. Since, Kathmandu is full filled with quality education, lots of laboratory equipments, and skilled teacher it has become the dream of many students. Thus, I feel proud in choosing a Kathmandu for my high study.
