07 — Community Service
Connecting To The Roots (CTTR) · Dehradun
Teaching Mathematics. Creating Opportunity.
Through my work with Connecting To The Roots (CTTR), I have had the opportunity to teach mathematics to students from underserved communities in Dehradun. Beyond academics, the experience has reinforced the importance of patience, empathy, and the transformative power of education.
Working closely with young learners has shown me that meaningful change often begins with something simple: helping someone believe in their own potential. While I set out to teach mathematics, I ultimately gained a deeper appreciation for the role education plays in creating confidence, opportunity, and long-term impact.
“Education is the most direct form of empathy.”
