On February 12, 2013, feeling ready to return to Nepal, I turned down a job offer. All through my student life in Nepal as well as when studying, working, and traveling abroad, I had been doing a number of things in preparation for that eventuality to really fulfill a dream.

Children who read, on average, lead children who don't academically. Adults who read, for example, on average have been found to live longer than those who don't etc.
