Khan Stories: Shrey

It was amazing! I don't think I'll ever forget in my life.

"Mom, I made it to Harvard!" I mean, it was like a Bollywood Hollywood kind of a sentence. I'm Srey. Um, I'm a freshman at Harvard, class of 2022, and I'm from New Delhi, India.

I've been using Khan Academy for quite a while—um, sixth grade probably. Chemistry is a subject that if you're not clear with the fundamentals or the building blocks, you will really struggle a lot when you get to like the higher concepts.

When I struggled with chemistry, it was more about not getting enough attention on the basic fundamental things or the class being just too fast-paced for me. Khan Academy eliminated that for me to a great extent because I didn't have to feel bad about watching like the same video over and over again.

I could watch it at a slower pace. I could do like millions of questions at the same level, at the fundamental level. And that was great, actually, because I was learning at my own pace.

Khan Academy teaching just eliminates any sort of learning gap. This access to education is the greatest gift which we can give to our kids wherever they are in this world.

If they have access to this kind of education through technology, through digital means, through platforms like Khan Academy, they can achieve anything. You know, a child sitting in any corner of the world, if they have access to these resources, anything is possible.
