Education becomes more important with the arrival of new generations. To gain success and be financially stable; the modern generation must have a college degree.

At that time in Nepal, being born into a wealthy family was a blessing because money was never a problem in the family. However, the country lacked many opportunities that the United States has, and due to the lack of resources, education did not have much importance in society.

I want them to understand that getting a college degree is my top priority. I want them to remind me that I should study hard and stay focused to meet homework deadlines. I want them to visit the college and support my decision to graduate
