The Networking Event

Although it was quite awkward, it was also helpful, to say the least, because there were so many teachers who I knew personally. I felt that talking to them was very artificial and out of their usual natural behavior. It was fun talking to the peers as there were many weird topics which we did […]

IFP Issue and Solution

The perks and dark side of being a scholar. Well, first of all, getting chosen out of 80 others in a competition who is equally talented as you in a tiny Himalayan nation is associated with a tiny feeling of guilt and depression throughout the whole process. What if they could have done something better than […]

Activity Reflection

Learning Outcome 2: Challenge The activity was very much new to me, I am not a very experienced swimmer and learning to adapt to be freely moving in the water is quite hard. With a very watchful coach, I overcame my fear of drowning, as he said to just to accept water as a friend. […]

Basketball

Pre-season basketball has been well quite hard. As much as I enjoy to play basketball, the sessions were always tiring.

The mornings […]

Dance has never been a particular strong suit and I remember grade two being the […]

We associate identity from physical appearance down to the behaviours […]

I AM

My name is Wangdrak Dorji but I tell most people to just call me Wangdrak. Then at this moment they go like sorry? what was that?. Then I say it again. They ask me to spell it for them, then comes the nickname. My first encounter here at UWCSEA was someone calling me “One Twerk”. […]
