Students during examinations

I woke up early, freshen, prepared breakfast and left for school as usual. It is summer and quite hot at Paro. Students are having midterm exams. After assembly an exam starts. I went to one of the classrooms where class eleven arts and class twelve commerce students were sitting for an examination.

Stories from small kids

I asked, ‘Tenzin, what happened?'. She stood up and said, ‘madam, can I share my story with you all’. We all gave her the permission to share her stories that has stored for almost 10 months. I could sense the happiness in her smile. She was too young to fall in love. She started sharing her love story. She said that he was from the same class and smart in study as well. ‘Madam, I liked and love him so much. He is our class captain. He is smart and intelligent. Sometimes, he asks me money and pencil. I don’t like when he talks with other girls but I love fighting with him because I could spend some time with him’. We listened to her story. I was totally confused. I didn’t k know what to say at this time. I could see her clenched fist.  Other students started laughing adding some points to Tenzin’s story....
