Despite immense challenges and obstacles, Samjhana, a young and determined individual, has managed to find renewed hope and continues to pursue her dreams with unwavering determination. Samjhana's life was filled with tragedy, losing her mother at a young age, the devastating destruction of her home by the 2015 earthquake in Nepal, and losing her father. Not only that she also suffered from gallstones. In the aftermath of a devastating earthquake, Samjhana found herself amidst the wreckage of her once sturdy home. As she stood amidst the debris, a sense of despair and uncertainty enveloped her. However, it was in this moment of darkness that a ray of hope emerged in the form of Ganga Ghar to help rebuild broken homes and shattered lives. Together, they meticulously rebuilt her broken house, brick by brick, symbolizing the gradual process of healing and progress. The experience taught her valuable lessons in resilience, patience, and the power of community. Samjhana embarked on a journey of transformation. As children, she envisions herself becoming a nurse. She was sponsored with the support of Ganga Ghar at the age of 10 in 2010. As she grew older, her interests and exposure to different fields broadened her horizons. She stumbled upon computer science and found herself captivated by its potential. One of the most exciting aspects of computer science is its vast range of career paths. Samjhana realized that by pursuing this field, she could embark on a journey filled with diverse opportunities. Hence she is studying computer science as a major study in grade 12. In conclusion, Samjhana's life has been marked by both hardship and resilience. She has shown that even in the face of adversity, we can still strive to achieve our goals and build a better future for ourselves.
