Introduction 

Hello everyone, my name is Sonam Choden and I study in Paro College of Education. I am in final year 8th semester. I joined the college in the year 2017 through government scholarship. Its been almost 4 years. I completed my high school from Yangchenphug Higher Secondary School, Thimphu. I took commerce stream and dreamt of going to Gedu College of business studies but I ended up landing  here. At first, as I have never dreamt of becoming a teacher, I didn't like this profession at all but as the time passed and as I started learning about the teaching and how children learn, I felt that this is what I want to do in my life. I am just excited to graduate from here and go to the field to experience the life of a teacher.

Talking about my family, my family consist of 5 members including me and my two younger brothers. My father works in the arm force and my mother is a housewife. My first younger brother completed his board exam this March and I wonder how he will get through. My youngest brother just started his pre-primary school this year. I  feel that as a eldest sister, I will be having so many responsibilities as soon as I graduate and get employed. That's what a cycle of life is and I am waiting for the adventures that are yet to come.

If I talk about my hobbies and interest, I love to play games especially cricket. I have played many national tournaments and club tournaments till 2019. I couldn't continue after this pandemic. My passion for this game will never end and if I ever happen to get a chance to teach my students after being in service, I would love to do it.  I also like to play other games such as basketball and volleyball. I have also participated in many games activities in college as well. 

My strengths are hard working, self motivating and dedicated to my work. I have to finish the work that I have started. While playing games or while studying, I usually tend to motivate myself saying that I can do it and I have to finish it. I think I have inherited this strengths from my mother and I look up to her. My weaknesses are I feel uncomfortable if I leave my work at middle and my mind is not at peace at all. I feel nervous while doing presentation if people keep on interrupting me. I am not able to say what I want to say. My mind goes blind.  

My short term goal is to get a job and help my parents to do expenses for my younger brother and my long term goal is to become a responsible  person and a person with good personality. My parents have gone through a lot and done a lot for me and I want to let them stay peacefully hereafter. To become a responsible person, I know I have to work hard for my family. I want to become a independent woman who is strong enough to face any kind of challenges or difficulties. I want to make my journey of life worth it.
