The perks of being scholarship student

                   


Whenever I pay huge junk of fees to college, I can’t stop wondering how wealthy I would be considered in my village with that amount of money. Back in my village, their annual incomes won’t be more than few thousands and they would struggle to get few hundreds to sustain their daily chores. Without the help of government, studying in one of the best aboard colleges would have been crime to dream. Moreover, they are guaranteeing that the scholarship students don’t have to ditch even a dime from home. I feel so fortunate to get paid for building my future, no one can dream more than what I get as a scholarship student.


One of the most gracious facts about Bhutan is education and medication are completely free. Education being the backbone of nation and medication ensuring the health of its people, this country has nothing but bright future. Stressing more on education, we are blessed at utmost to get free education beginning from enrolment till the day of graduation. If we utilize this gift and excel in academy career, government spent tens of thousands of money in sending her younger generation aboard. Most importantly, audience with the King totally flow away the yearning hearts of many younger Bhutanese. I, being one of the fortunate students, can vividly remember the auspicious day with the king. I took a deep breath, paused and then reminded myself that it is neither dream nor poster of him, it is happening and he is right in front of me. It was really an amazing episode of my life!
