Woman of color

I always remember the event which taught me that I am a woman of color. It took place in a preschool classroom among three, four and five year old children. I clearly remember when one of the children said, “You look different, I do not understand what you are saying. Your name is Yucky”.  I was astonished, struck rigid, and voiceless, not a word could I speak. Tears silently rolled down my face.  I had never come across such situation. It made me feel so different from others in the classroom. Then I realized, these are innocent children who have recognized I am different from what they know.  I am now OK with these feelings.  I felt proud of myself that I am giving these children a chance to experience people, like me, a woman from a different race, culture and values. I am happy to see myself helping the community learn my culture, race, tradition, norms, and values and I in turn, am learning about others.

Dream comes true! believe me...

I was always scare to dream big, thinking that it will never come true...When i was a little girl, my dream was to have a barbie doll, which was too expensive at that time in Nepal. When i was in middle school, my dreams varied. When i was finishing up my high school, my dream was to go study abroad...And it all came true. But as i grew older, my dream became bigger and deeper.  I have always wanted to be an educator and help my village in the best way i can. I feel like i am not that far from achieving these dreams if i stay motivated, strong and positive. So, i would like to encourage others to continue dreaming, even though you feel  like it is "it just a dream". You Have the power and courage to make it possible, nothing is impossible, its just the thinking that makes it impossible.

The reason that i created this blog is to give encouragement to those who has the potential and the ability to do achieve anything but just lack little self confidence. I have lots of friends, who have the talent, gift, skills, guts, spirit, etc but still wonder around thinking that life has not given them chance...But that's not true, there are lots of opportunities in this world to reach yourself...So, Keep Dreaming...and make it reality...Its time for us to come out of the box and see what we can do too.
I believe and want to be a useful person in life...And it will be little easier, if i have the support from others.
