‘I was a ADHD kid, and suffering from it. That time I was quite young and my school teachers never liked me because I was too active, and I gave them so much headaches because I was a troublesome kid.
‘I didn’t know I had this until I was studying Psychology and I found it by myself. I never went for treatment but it just fixed itself – maybe because I am active and outgoing with people.
‘I’m not from a rich family and I don’t want to burden my family therefore I choose to work and pay my own school fees. It’s not easy for me as currently I’ve to work, study and prepare for my project (the Asia Pacific Youth Exchange summer program) which will be coming soon, in which I want to deal with education.
I believe that education is everything as it relates with all of the Sustainable Development Goals under the United Nations, and everyone should have the right to study and have adequate education, because without education they are not able to understand, work or change the world. And I will do my best to share my knowledge to the other people, especially in the rural areas.
