“If I could impact the world in one way then probably I will choose improvement in education system in the world.

Secondly, I will also try to move modern technology to other poor and developing countries where many people still don’t know what computer is.”

“I am also a member of Art Institute of Chicago, Active member of CNFS (Chicagoland Nepali Friendship Society), and member of Red Cross Society.”

Why should other people join the Honors Program? / What have you gained from being in the Honors Program? “Honors Program encourages people to do some competitive work. It helps to socialize and make friends. It also allows students to engage in different programs and fight in competitive fields. 

Name a book that you really like or has influenced you in some way. Explain why.
“One book that I really like is “The Old Man and the Sea” written by the author Ernest Hemingway. It is a novel that had got two great prizes: Novel and Pulitzer. In this novel, using the simple, powerful language of a fable, Hemingway takes the timeless themes of courage in the face of defeat and personal triumph won from loss and transforms them into a magnificent twentieth-century classic. This novel inspired me to be courageous and do something for the people in the world.”

List any hobbies/interests:
“Literature; science/technology; Playing Chess, Badminton and traveling”

A favorite quote you have:
“It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than to have education without common sense.”
