In my earlier post, I stated the "One child One teacher" initiative was a personal initiative of the PM, Tshering Tobgay. This initiative basically was to empower and support students in their academic improvement, behavioral changes, enrich psycho-social support, strengthen teacher-student bonding, instill the sense of belongingness to school and guide them to be a responsible citizen.
The motive of one child one teacher initiative was extremely beneficial but at the same time it is extremely sensitive. I said sensitive because if I happen to adopt a girl child, it may inflame endless concern to her parents and to others at large. It may fetch the teacher being so biased and judgmental among students and staff as well. Any conclusion can be made.
"Unfortunately not everyone is as lucky as you. Not everyone is lucky in love. Not everyone is blessed to have both the parents and not everyone is as lovable as you."

Although she was new to the school. Lawfully, I chose to shelter Sonam Tshomo from the science stream for 2015-2016.
Initially, I did not have much idea on how to go on with this new initiative but as time passed by everything turned out to be fine. We progressed with time. Time matured us. As her subject teacher, I used to meet her on a daily basis. We used to discuss topics such as the meaning of life, good human being, time management and the face of changing the world in between chemistry lessons, which bonded us as a family member.
During her stay in school, I couldn't be as useful and resourceful as expected by her. I couldn't fulfill all her expectations and the wishes. But I've given her a special room to call someone as her adopted teacher, or parent. I have been very professional in dealing and supporting her in times of need and I assisted my helping hand as a subject teacher to perform well in my subject and beyond.
More importantly, I always tried to be a good human being by maintaining utmost professional conduct and ethics. We have always maintained a healthy teacher-student relationship. The good news was, she never had troubled me and I hope she does the same to her parents as well. I felt our teacher-student bond was made in heaven.
Currently she is pursuing her nested degree in "Food Science and Technology" at College of Natural Resources (CNR), Lobesa. I am happy she is doing well in her studies and in her life. More than me, this is happy news for her parents. I find she is the true daughter of "Pelden Drukpa."
I wish our teacher-student relationship to flourish and remain healthy for ages to come. I wish her to remain decent for eternity. I wish her to be a good human being in all her endeavours. I wish her to pursue dream –beyond her mama's expectation. I am lucky to have you as my adopted girl student.
If we think we can, we can do it. Be Happy Always.
Happy Reading
