My intense interest in education has subsequently emerged into an aspiration or pursuit of a career in the field, which began during my undergraduate studies. When I was a kindergarten student, I draped myself in my mother's saree and wandered around my house subconsciously thinking it was my school and making imaginary students, while my cousins managed to play the same game as the real ones. As the years progressed, my primary interest in education kept growing, and I happily began teaching all the young ladies who came to my house for domestic help. I soon realized that I have a strong desire to impart knowledge for people’s needs and welfare. So, after having finished my board exams, I started tutoring. I remember not charging any tuition fees from my first student because it was inculcated in me to help people improve their educational standards, lifestyle, and nurture the young minds by guiding them to become a better version of themselves through knowledge. Later, I went on to teach children from established schools in various classes. I strongly believe that education is precisely the type of qualification required to improve the standard of living in communities. Even though my college was located in a different state, my passion for teaching did not fade; I continued to teach no matter what came in my way. I thought to myself that the field requires its professionals to confront complex teaching methods, such as quality learning access and a strong emphasis on the study of strategies to improve individuality while actually paying attention to the cultural context. As a result, after graduating from college, I had a bunch of kids who wept as I had to return to my hometown to begin work. When I first started working, I almost couldn't balance or place the puzzle in its proper frame. But the only thing that kept me going was teaching a few kids. Interactions, stories, and endless fun events not only engaged the students but also brought a beaming grin to my face as I became overjoyed teaching them. Ever since, it has served as the only way to find comfort in my life. Life went on, and a few years later, the pandemic shook us all. It was challenging to remain mentally and physically fit back then. During a period when the rest of the world was virtually connected, I was given an exceptional opportunity to work with Teach for India, a voluntary teaching curriculum that managed to bring hundreds of thousands of kids together under one roof. As I began teaching them, the underprivileged, regardless of caste, creed, or religion, smiled. This is a tool that has assisted me in making the best changes in society and the economy. Attending this initiative was a significant step towards a bright and successful future. As I write down my experience for you, I wish I could demonstrate how marvelous these years have been, but private tutors are not given any certificates to prove their efforts. My career objectives are always sufficiently lofty. My ultimate goal is to become a better professional and human being. I will be eternally grateful for your thoughtfulness. So that, with your assistance, I can help build a better society.
