Hi My Name is Rohini Singh and I Am A Himalayan Girl
A small introduction about me and my life.

I was born in a small beautiful village of the Himalayas( India) in a teacher’s family and yes my great grandfather was a teacher and until this point, my family hasn’t found any other occupation.
From the beginning, I was a weak child so I was never able to play with anyone except my brother.
I always welcomed everybody in my life but the staying part was difficult for me because the longer a person stays with you the more they know about you. I always wanted to leave some mystery for this world( Nah… I am just kidding). I was an Idiot because I lost many good people. I just hated some people because they wanted something from me and the things they wanted were tuition from my father ( my father is considered the most intelligent mathematics teacher in the whole state) or they wanted notes from me and I wanted real friends.
I did my schooling with average marks and went to college in a big city. Being a small village girl it wasn’t easy for me to handle city life and girls. Oh and I forgot to tell you I was in a girl’s college and trust me you wouldn’t want to go there. So I tried to live like a shadow. Nothing interesting happened there except the same thing told by my teachers which I have heard from every teacher I ever had “ Rohini, You are different.”
I passed my college with average marks and went to university to study literature. Many things happened there and for the start, I started studying seriously because I was tired of doing nothing and just living life without any motive. I studied hard 6 hours of classes and 9 hours in the library. For two years I was just trying to make something out of my life and during this period I met my best friend. She was smart, confident, and intelligent in short everything I ever wanted to be.
One day, I was walking out of my professor’s room after my last presentation and she called me by my “name”. The witch called me by my name( we used to call our professor witch because she was insane, she tortured our little mind with her sarcastic comments every single second of her lecture and she never remembered anybody’s “name”). I almost peed in my pants like a small child while I was approaching her desk and the conversation started.
“Go back and close the door. Come sit.”
I sat quietly expecting something like, Your presentation was bad and you are not going to pass this year but to my surprise, her words were kind and sweet. I still remember the lines she said word by word.
“Rohini, you have beautiful eyes and they reflect innocence and you have the voice of a leader, whenever you speak there is strength in your voice and you remind me of myself when I was young and shy like you. You are different, so just be different.”
I left that room with tears in my eyes because for the first time somebody tried to explain what was different in me.
I did another degree in Special Education( Learning Disability ) from the same university but this time I refused to sit like a shadow. I remembered sweet witch’s words and took a step in my new beginning. For the first time, my whole class knew me and I was studying hard, teaching my classmates doing group studies, and most importantly trying to act like a leader. I don’t know if I was successful or not but I tried.
I got a job before my final result was out but after 9 months I left my very first job because it wasn’t for me. It was as a teacher and I wanted to try new things with kids and wanted to give something other than books but turned out it was against school policy to take kids for a lesson outside the class. Everybody was happy with this “ policy” except me, I tried to tell the principal but she didn’t answer and she gave me a warning that if I ever took kids outside the classroom I would be fired. So the next morning I gave her my resignation because I didn’t want to deal with it.
I came to a different country because of a different language I didn’t found work as a teacher right away I worked in the catering industry and found a job as a teacher 2 years later. I am not a permanent teacher yet, I work as a part-time teacher but I am happy and to your and mine surprise after a few days my senior told me “Rohini, you are different and I am happy you are here” and left.
But still, I haven't found that “different thing” in me and I want to do something else in my life other than teaching. I always wanted to write my name on something and say I made this or I wrote this or I found it or I did this. I am trying to find myself every day and trying new things because without trying I will never know If I am good at skiing or swimming.
So this is me, Rohini Singh. This small introduction was inspired by Chirag.
Because in one of her writings she wrote
“when the profile does not say much. Just a few words but giving no clue where the person is from or who he or she is. I follow members and nonmembers alike but I couldn’t connect with an anonymous someone.”
After reading this I thought of writing something about me. So now I think I have told you plenty of things about me. I write about my experience, people’s experience, motivational thoughts, and sometimes random things.
