I was born in Kathmandu, Nepal which is a small landlocked country that is surrounded by China from the north and India from east, west and south. I spent my childhood and half of my teenage in my home country until making a decision of studying abroad to become a software developer. My family members are the ones that are responsible for where I am today and who I want to be tomorrow. Growing up in Nepal was very difficult because of the diverse culture and ethnic groups and as well as due to the people of the society. Being a boy was very hard in my society as people would point out every mistakes I did. Even if I did something good, I wasn’t noticed for that but just a small mistake and everyone would know me. Everybody thought boys were

Responsibilities and duties, that’s what counted as to be a good teenager. Since I was a boy, I should do the heavy stuffs and I should earn for the family, that was the saying of the people. They said I should be the one to carry the family forward. The only occupations were an engineer for boys and doctors for girls. This is how I began studying for engineering. I wanted to play soccer but sports were not really an option for people in Nepal. They believed on educations only. Sports was like a waste of time. Similarly, music was not an option as well but I love to play guitar. Although, these things weren’t an option, I took part in soccer competition held by boys like us and won. Since sports was not appreciated by people as an occupation, I wanted to play more and show people what I am capable of. Also, being a son of doctors and growing up with two sisters, who are also studying medical science, it was hard for me to find a peace state of mind as the only talks we used to have in the dinner was doctor stuffs, which I had no idea what they were talking about. So, to get rid of doctor stuffs, I started playing more video games and later, I got used to video games and that’s when I made up my mind to become a video game designer. So I used to play video games every time I had nothing to do. GTA V, Counterstrike: GO, Call of Duty, FIFA 15, etc. Games that I got attached to a …show more content…
But due to my addiction towards games, my mom used to scold me and tell me to go play outside with friends so that I can get rid of the video games, which is a funny thing. The only reason I wanted to become a game designer is because I played video games a lot. That’s the reason I started focusing on studies. I have a dream of making a game of my own. Sounds funny thought but no the serious note, it’s true and so I chose to study computer science. Since, there was no scopes of game designing in Nepal, I thought of studying abroad and that’s how UNL comes in my life to play a big role. But when I came here, life was suddenly different. US was exactly opposite to Nepal. I haven’t still got used to it. Never have I ever been away from my family, I always had my family when I needed them, suddenly I was alone. To be honest, I feel homesick. The room’s pretty empty, feels like m in a desert. Early in the morning, I used to wake up and I could smell the delicious food that mom had made. But now I have to run to my class with an empty
