Being provided with the best comfort by our moderator and participants of Strength TogetHER ; a virtual space for girls facilitated by 'LOKOPAKAR' , the fifth session of cohort 2 themed 'I WANTED A CHANGE' went very smooth under the mentorship of Bhawana ma'am , currently a marketing manager at Fightback Nepal .

This time, six of our participants shared their stories of the phase  they realized change was necessary.
  • Our first speaker shared how she always had a fear of being social and how the ascending time made her realize the importance of socialization which brought a beautiful change in her life 
  • Our second speaker shared about the time she doubted her own sanity for being a loner.A phase striked her,when a completely new friend at school comforted her ,mader her feel free and helped improve her social life which made her to drive in the path of change 
  • Our third speaker shared her journey from being an introvert to an extrovert .She said it was self-change that she brought in herself and also said that she is happy with her decision of living as an extrovert .
  • Our fourth speaker shared her painful experience of the time she had problems with her close friends.She felt lonesome and out of all things.Slowly she realize that continuous play of the incident and the relation with her friends in her mind had done nothing but made her a forlorn figure.The  particular hit led her to discover that she really needed change.
  • Our fifth speaker shared how it was hard for her to make new friends after being cut off from her old friends' group.In order to fit into a new company,she used to create a new personality just for them to like her.Slowly she found out that she had no one to talk to the whole time and was loosing herself.That phase made her realize she needed a change and decided to stop changing herself for others.
  • Our sixth speaker shared about how her family had an ethic "KEEPING OTHERS BEFORE YOURSELVES" and how it led them to a huge family trouble.She said that the incident made them to bring  change in the family ethics and informed that the family is doing good.
Our moderator was very happy to hear us jump into the stream of CHANGE .She also made sure that we are living happily at out best with the changed mindset.Some of her's inspiring,rich and subtle words were:
  1. You realize you need a change either when your ego or emotion is hurt or when your inner heart really wants to.
  2. The factors that lead you to discover that YOU REALLY NEED A CHANGE could be both visible or invisible.
  3. Change for yourself not for others.
  4. Ego can be used positively.You just need to collect the energy and use it in a productive way to bring a change in you .
This session conducted on 22nd August,2020 with the active participation of girls was one of the most sensitive and fruitful session which made us realize our worth.We wrapped the session with a different glow of self-worth on our faces which made a beautiful combination with our "WHATEVER" pose,posed at the very end for the group snap.
