I didn’t know how I have completed my college life in a blink of my eyes. Soon, we stood there wearing a gown on Convocation Day. The Convocation Day will be one of many days in life every graduate will remember. Wearing a gown on that signifies the sweat, hardwork and struggles a person has endured.

After completing my Bachelors of Education from Paro College of Education, I decided to devote my life to students. Behind every window, there is a curtain and behind every person there is a story to tell. Marriage is one of the main reasons that keep race of humans survived for millions of years. And I look back at my story of broken marriage. Although, broken marriage is painful to look back, it taught me lot of lessons about many things: love, hatred, betrayal and depression.

I was the happiest woman. I graduated from the college, got ...
