Why I became a nun?

Personal Story from Sayalay Aggavati

Enjoyment

I worked as a tour guide before I became a nun, when I was working as a tour guide. I used to dress up well, had great fun by going to different places and meeting different types of people. I enjoyed my work very much. It was an exciting and enriching experience. I visited many parts of Myanmar.

Personal Suffering

Then, on one occasion, I went with some tourists to a hilly place in a forest. The place was full of mosquitoes and I suffered from mosquito bites and I was infected with malaria. Without knowing my situation, I went back to my home in Yangon. After a few days, at the middle of one night, my body felt feverish, and I suffered from very high fever.
