About

I was born in 1977 in a rural village called Pitamaruwa in Sri Lanka. There were foot paths to walk to school, hospital etc. My first school is Sooriyagolla Primary school, there was only a teacher. Teacher and the head master is the same. My father is a teacher and mother is not occupied. I have one sister.There was 4-5 km’s to walk by foot to take foods home from Roeberry small boutiques. To take a bus, needed to walk another mile called “Kambiadiya”.Later our father transferred to Pitamatruwa and I attended to Grade 2 at Pitamaruwa Maha Vidyalaya.Which is 60 km’s distance from Badulla in Sri Lanka.The school was not enough teachers, resources etc.We were eager to learn English but I did not have the opportunity study English up to Grade 9.In Grade nine I was attended Uva College in Badulla.I studied there up to Grade 13, after I selected to the Pasdunrata National College of Education in Kaluthara in Sri Lanka. Then I was appointed as a teacher in Kandakepu-ulpotha Maha Vidyalaya in Kadaketiya in the Uva province.
