FAMILY HISTORY

Nepalese Flag

I was born and raised in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal (a famous tourist destination). Born to a traditional Nepalese family, I am the younger of the two siblings. My family consists of my dad (Sajeeb R. Bajracharya), my mom (Sandhya T. Bajracharya) and my brother (Sumeet Bajracharya).My dad is a dry fruits retailer and my mom, a house wife. As for my elder brother, he is currently in London. He recently graduated from Cavendish College, London and is unemployed at the moment.He is on his quest for a job to begin his career as an animator. portfolio

EDUCATION HISTORY

From my early childhood, I have been transferred from one school to another. I think I began my primary education (education before grade school) in "Maitri Shishu Bal Bhidhayalaya, Kathmandu". After my primary education, I enrolled in "Little Angel's Boarding School" and studied there until grade 3. Then a transfer to "Himalaya International Boarding School, Kathmandu, Nepal." I surprisingly studied there for 7 years (1996-2002) and completed my grade school. On 2002, I joined "Modern Indian School" for my higher secondary education. Studying there for about 8 months, guess what??? yet another transfer, this time to "Rato Bangala School"(one of the best schools in the country). After 2 years, I finally graduated from high school on February 2006. Then on August 2007, I enrolled in "Dickinson College".

You must be wondering, what did I do during those 18 months between high school and college?
