One of the stories I heard was about how 61 Nepali kids were given full scholarships in the US but were withdrawn soon after. All had given up their spots in Nepal, where they were studying at the time, to go to America. When they had found out that their scholarships has been withdrawn, they had to fight their way back into other schools that were offering their help. Out of all 61 kids, only 54 had been accepted and granted full scholarships.
This story made me realise that many people are granted things that can be easily taken away from them, and it opened my eyes to how many sacrifices some people make just to go and achieve their dreams. It gave me a new perspective on how others live and have to give things up for opportunities that their family couldn’t achieve.
