I finished my night shift just now, and was watching the sun hit the Kangchenjunga peaks from my balcony—makes me think of my sister burning the midnight oil for her exams back home. Sending half my salary to her feels heavy sometimes, but I see it as the state should do for all of us: lift the weight so one more girl can climb. I don't trust the quick fixes people promise about degrees and jobs—my father always said the old way of learning beside a master had a reason, and watching new nurses rush through training here, I wonder what we lost. You judge a system by who it leaves behind, and our universities are leaving too many on the outside.
