The 2012 year was a crucial year. I had to graduate
first and then give series of civil service exams. It was a turning point for
my career. Doubtless to say I was
already worried right from the beginning of the year how far I would be able to
end the year well as well as I wanted. I would not have had foreseen the surprise packages
that the 2012 year had in store for me but surely I would have prayed only the peace, happiness and prosperity and
not those things that would up set me. As
prayed and wanted I could successfully graduate in time in the end of April and
headed to Home. Right after reaching here in Thimphu fortunately I could manage
to get one temporary job which otherwise I would have tough time passing time
at others home during the day as no matter however best treatment they offer
still we feel uncomfortable staying with relatives especially place like in
Thimphu.
The time rolled on and soon after the graduation there
came a time for registration of RCSC Preliminary Exam and by then already into
busy track. On 11th August we wrote Preliminary exam and right after
Preliminary exam from 13th -18th August we attended 2012
graduate orientation Program on the theme ‘Inspiring the young Leaders’ and
after orientation on 24th August came out the real thing, the
preliminary exam results. Though feared to death that I would not get through but
somehow got through. Right after orientation from no where came a surprise,
though would not have dreamt in my wildest dreams that I would receive such
gift in my life. I went back to college on
29th August, 2012 to attend 10th convocation held on 2nd
September, 2012. I did not have had plan to attend convocation but after all of
my friends reached to college for convocation I had to go alone all the way
from here as my parents as well as friends insisted me to attend convocation
since I was getting a medal on corporate law. I attended the convocation and received
a medal and stayed there back in college about a week. On 6th September I got back to
Thimphu and resumed my temporary job. For very this award I had an audience
from HRH Azhi Sonam Dechen Wangmo Wangchuk on 13th September, 2012.
Time went by like anything and it was already time
for preparation for RCSC Main exam. I prepared about a week and wrote the main
exam from 12th -14th October and after exam for that
award, on 18th October,2012 with two other female friends, one
graduated from Australia and other one from Nagpur, India I had audience from
His Excellency, the Education Minister.
After completing Viva Voce and all formalities
relating to RCSC Main Exam I went to home for second time (went once before
preliminary exam also) in the month of November. I stayed peacefully at home
with parents about a month. Finally our
main exam result was declared on 30th November and as hoped I got
through with decent grade. Sadly I had to leave home for placements and for the
same I left home for Thimphu in the mid of December. I reached to Thimphu and
attended placement briefings on 21st December at YDF Hall. Whilst
other technical graduates were given placements to kick off their career as
civil servants we were given due date (31st January, 2013) for
pursuing PG course at RIM. And, with this program as the last program of the
2012 year, without much downs, finally 2012 year ended successfully.
The 2012 Year, despite being known to world over as
doomsyear, atleast to me it was one of the best and memorable years ever and
for which I owe so much to 2012 year. While I thank with all my heart to 2012
year I also further wish that everything fares well in the year 2013 ………
