    I have also mentored students and taught Nepali language to the second generation Nepalese-American. Homework assignments were given every week along with in-class quizzes. The end goal was to make them bilingual so that they could practice Nepali language with parents at home. The time and energy I put into this project has notably shown through the time management, collaboration and communication skills I have acquired over time. Volunteering is such a rewarding and enjoyable experience that I still continue to volunteer today. I study with a purpose of helping others who do not have the opportunity or privilege to the same higher education as me. This scholarship is a stepping stone towards that.
