When he finally started university, Budhan faced the additional challenge of balancing his studies with a full-time job. It was difficult sometimes to complete the assignments and not feel sleepy in class,” he said.
To manage his workload, he often worked extra hours to make up for any time he missed due to classes.
Despite these struggles, Budhan’s determination became a source of inspiration for his family, especially his younger siblings. ” When I started UG it was an encouragement to my younger siblings. They literally started UG the year after I started,” he said.
Budhan said although they had their doubts at first, seeing him in the position inspired them. Earning his degree has given Budhan a renewed outlook on life, increasing his confidence and ability to express himself.
