Part-16: August 27, 2007 I got a job in a good private school: One evening, I was tutoring a group of students in my room. There were 7/8 students in a group. My high school teacher who was in Kathmandu at that time came to me and asked whether I could help him teach as a replacement teacher in a school where he was working. The reason was that he was studying M.A. in Economics in T.U. and his exam was approaching. I thought it could be a chance for me to enter a school for a job. I nodded him agreeing that I would do that job. The next day I went to school. I had to teach Mathematics in Grade-IX. I met the principal. He could hardly believe me that I could teach in grade-IX as I was too young to teach in that higher grade in his school. He asked me, " Can you teach mathematics in Grade-IX where your teacher is teaching." I promptly answered," Yes, I can." I had two years' teaching experience as a home tutor. I was teaching the courses of grades IX and X: not only mathematics but variety of subjects. I started teaching mathematics in that school. The students were really impressed from my teaching. Joining to the school also helped to grow the number of students in my tuition groups. In a month, I established myself as a good teacher in the eyes of those students. When their regular teacher came back to school, I stopped going to school. One day, the school administrators called me and gave me the salary of my work. It was about Rs 1800, a good money for me at that time! The other good thing for me was that I was recommended for a teaching job there. Great, I got a job in a very good school of Kathmandu where I worked about 12 years before I left for my higher studies in a US university. That reminds me, "Never give up a hope!”
