GROWING up in a single parent home is evidently not easy in most cases because, as reported on many occasions, there is a lack of affection, many struggles and sleepless nights but, 20-year-old Nicholas Nandan intends to use his past struggles as motivation to help others who may be facing the same or even a different challenge.
“My mom has been a single parent working for a basic wage. It was and is never an easy road but she always placed me first; I try not to reflect on my past because everyone has their own struggles but the theme women’s empowerment, is always portrayed in my mom who is my biggest supporter,” said Nandan.

Instead of being led astray because of what he faced, the now aspiring lawyer intends to convert his experiences and mother’s support into philanthropy someday.
Nandan who lives and studies in the United States of America (USA) is Guyanese by birth and heart.

“I have a passion for politics and the criminal justice sector; I am an aspiring lawyer with just under three years of studying to complete. I believe that the world of politics is not where it should be so I want to serve my homeland and give back everything I can to improve the state of affairs,” he posited, adding that those were his intentions since his days at the St. Joseph High School.

The aspiring lawyer said ever since he moved abroad, his primary focus has been to excel in his areas of study so that he could return to Guyana and serve his country.
He believes that growth comes from the idea of not settling but excelling and building on what you have.

Nandan, as such, believes that he has what it takes to be a front-runner to lead Guyana in the area of crime solving and youth empowerment.

“I also pay keen attention to the environment as I see it as a flat space to build something great. The passion that I have for crime solving is also what often pushes me to further limits to achieve greater things,” he said.

His interest in the criminal justice system is complemented by the interest in becoming a local politician one day. He sees those areas as ways to contribute to Guyana since he has always tried to analyse crime, how they are committed and what measures should be put in place to reduce criminal acts.

“I will give back to my homeland by putting the people of Guyana’s interest and legal affairs to the forefront and using my knowledge and experience to solve them,” said Nandan.

He is confident that one day he will achieve his goals, especially because of the support from his mother.

Nandan’s message to youths who might have the same aspirations is to have patience and the passion to excel.
Youths were encouraged to look at where they want to be instead of where they stand

because and remember that life is not always about outclassing or outgrowing it is about contributing to the improvement of society.
