About Jit Baral

I came from ๐„๐ฑ๐ญ๐ซ๐ž๐ฆ๐ž ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ญ๐ฒ in Nepal. I suffered many ๐‡๐š๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ๐ฌ and ๐“๐ซ๐š๐ ๐ž๐๐ฒ. I received an ๐„๐๐ฎ๐œ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง where almost no-one ever did in my village. I navigated the United States ๐ˆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ข๐ ๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง process. I have seen ๐’๐ฎ๐œ๐œ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ with receiving a PhD and ๐“๐ซ๐ข๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ก in becoming a successful scientist and tomato breeder. But, nothing means more to me than my ๐…๐š๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฒ."I walk a walk where people live just to produce enough food, to cover the body, and to have a roof over the head, where there is no expectation beyond the bread. Death passed by me several times at a razor-thin margin. I hit the dead end to each road of my destination. It was never clear whether I should stop, yield or detour; I had to discover the best action on my own. I never quit walking; every single time, a new way out showed up that was not known before. Every time I stumbled on my way, I learned valuable lessons. I was born in a remote hill of Nepal and raised by a single mom with extreme poverty. Just to give a sense to you, I got my first full pants while I was in Grade 4 and first pair of shoes while I went to grade 7. I saw a bus for the first time while I was in 9th grade. I knew the first time in college that it is possible to have food of your choice every day."This is my story, ๐๐ž๐ฒ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐๐ซ๐ž๐š๐: ๐“๐ฐ๐จ ๐–๐จ๐ซ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ, ๐Ž๐ง๐ž ๐–๐ข๐ญ๐ง๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ.From a desperately poor beginning in the remote hills of Nepal, I spent my childhood working to live. When I left that life behind to pursue my dreams, I soon learned that the "other" world was just as demanding. I faced a different type of hardship and challenge. I now lived to work.๐๐ž๐ฒ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ shares my unique perspective of living in two parallel worlds and the realization that the grass is never greener on the other side.My experiences teach us that true happiness is a state achieved from within, absolutely independent of circumstance or wealth. A genuine desire from the heart can overcome any difficulties in the way of life.My hope is to bring attention to the conditions of other poor children in Nepal who come from homes of single mothers. I am working on a Foundation to help provide for their education.
