Royal Thimphu College

Coming from the remote village of Sakteng, where I shared my upbringing with my two younger siblings under the guidance of my hardworking mother, her resilience and values have also shaped my character and inspired me to work hard. Since a young age, I had the dream of being in the medical profession and was deeply committed to developing a successful career in it.

I worked hard to fulfill my aspirations and even topped several times, but unfortunately, despite working hard in grade 12, I was not able to secure the required marks to enroll in the medical profession. In fact, being from a humble family in a remote village, additional funds to enroll in private colleges are very limited.

But then I was blessed and assisted by the Loden Foundation, which extended gracious financial support for me to pursue an undergraduate degree. With a scholarship as a milestone, I am eager to pursue my academic and personal growth, aspiring to make a positive impact and, with unwavering dedication, will serve TSA WA SUM.
