I have taken most of the decision myself and I as far as I remember it was not much difficult to take any decision but there is there is one time I was so much in dilemma whether I should study at my hometown or go to the Kathmandu Valley which is the capital city of Nepal and study there. Eventually I tried thinking on both perspective whether studying at my hometown would be beneficial or going to the valley would create more impact on my career. It was after my school I think it was seven or eight years ago from now and I was so anxious about it. I tried talking with my friends talking with my parents and some of the seniors about my situation and I was hoping for them to give me some advice. I analyzed everyone’s perspective and I was happy that everyone suggested me to go to the valley and grab the opportunities. They knew I was so talented and I would do much better in the valley due to the presence of variety of opportunity in the valley. So I decided to come to the valley for my further education.

I have made most of the decisions myself, and as far as I remember, it was not very difficult to make any decision. However, there was one time I was in a dilemma about whether I should study in my hometown or go to the Kathmandu Valley, which is the capital city of Nepal, to study there. Eventually, I considered both perspectives: whether studying in my hometown would be beneficial or if going to the valley would have a greater impact on my career. This was after my school, I think it was seven or eight years ago, and I was very anxious about it. I talked with my friends, my parents, and some seniors about my situation, hoping they would give me some advice. I analyzed everyone's perspectives, and I was pleased that everyone suggested I go to the valley and seize the opportunities. They knew I was talented and would do much better in the valley due to the variety of opportunities available there. So, I decided to move to the valley for my further education. I was grateful for everyone's support. Initially, it was really difficult to adjust to the new environment, and I was tense about not doing well. But as time passed, I became happy and adapted well, and now here I am.
