I was born and raised in Ulaanbaatar, the capital city of Mongolia.
My country can be found sandwiched between China and Russia on the world map.
I consider myself a very ordinary girl from an ordinary middle-class family. My parents worked full time and tried their best to provide the best education, a good upbringing to me and my older brother. One thing I’m always thankful for them is that they never tried to influence me or shape my view on world. I was free to follow whatever path I wanted to lead. In some ways, I think it was a privilege to have a choice. Even more privilege to have access to opportunities.
Education is a lifelong learning opportunity and it should be accessible by everyone. Unfortunately, that is not the case everywhere. You, me, that girl from the suburbs or that guy from the herder family should all have an equal opportunity. We all want to achieve equality but still struggle to find the balance to this date. The set of goals are all interconnected and meshed together.
The poverty, the corruption, injustice, deception happening everywhere in the world – sadly some are too engulfed in the net that they are starting to recognize this as the norm. But I realized there are far more who are willing to change “the norm” and strive for a better world when I attended the Hague One Young World Summit in 2018.
Young people everywhere are fighting to re-shape the way things run and the way people treat each other. And we are in this together.
