Meet Smriti, Our Newest Peak Program Student

My name is Smriti Nepali, and I am delighted to share a little update on my life with you all. Currently, I am 18 years old and pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Medical Laboratory Technology (BMLT) at Manmohan Memorial Institute of Health Sciences. I’m in my first year, and just recently completed the first terminal exams, though the results are yet to be published.

In my family, we are a total of five members. There’s my younger sister, my younger brother, my mother, my father, and of course, myself. My father plays a crucial role as the main caretaker in our household, and I’m truly grateful for his support and guidance.

As for my academic interests, I find myself particularly drawn to hematology, while pathology is not quite my favorite subject. On an average day, I dedicate around 4 to 5 hours to my studies, ensuring I stay on track with my coursework.

Outside of academics, I have a passion for traveling and exploring new places. Additionally, one of the highlights of my school or college days is engaging in discussions with friends during breaks. It’s always refreshing to exchange thoughts and ideas with peers.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to my sponsors. Your support and generosity have enabled me to pursue my education further, and for that, I am truly thankful. Being able to continue my studies and fulfill my aspirations fills me with happiness, and I am excited for the journey ahead.

Finally the day arrived and we had to arrive at the venue by 3. We rushed to the models and did the final fittings. By that time, Dinesh Uncle, Hira Aunt and Bruce Uncle had arrived. As my sequence was on the 4th we had a huge rush backstage that let me meet them only for a brief minute and we couldn’t even click a picture together. Show started at 7. After the third sequence we had the models change into our designs. Finally, our design was on the runway, and we walked at the end of the sequence with our showstopper, Simpal Kharel. While walking on the runway, there were a huge number of audiences, included; designers, press media, journalists, photographers, ambassadors, etc. After our sequence, we went backstage and we really had a roller coaster of emotions. All those sleepless nights, stresses, no meal days and all the difficulties we went through were finally over. It was worth everything. This concludes my three years of learning and we had the chance to showcase it to the crowd and people. After our sequence we finally had the time to breather. All along these past three months it felt as if somebody had put on something in our neck as we were suffocating but now it felt as if it had been let go. We could breathe in peace. 

After the runway we had a huge feast and that tasted like the best meal that I had for the entire life.
