DHARAMSHALA, July 16: Tenzin Lhamo Bhutia, 18, has become the district topper in ISC 12th results in Humanities declared on July 10 in Kalimpong. She has scored 97.25% with a full score in Political Science. She did her schooling from Dr. Graham’s Homes where she also scored 90% in her 10th grade.
“I have aspirations to become a lawyer. Hence, I focused on subjects such as sociology and political science. If I become a lawyer, I think I would like to make a difference especially in the law concerning women’s rights,” Tenzin Lhamo told Phayul.
“I am planning to give the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) in August where it will determine available college placements for me,” Lhamo elaborated on her future plans. She further advised future aspirants on the importance of consistency in studying for a set number of hours per day for preparation and to always have confidence in oneself.
She added that there has been an overwhelming response from her family and teachers since the result was declared and also hopes to make a difference in the future.
The Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) announced the CBSE results of 19 students who scored 95% and above, reaching new heights in the domain of academics. Kunga Legjung from Tibetan Homes Foundation in Mussoorie scored 99.2% in the Science stream ranking highest on the list of Sikyong scholarship awardees.
One Response
International law is something that will certainly benefit Tibetans. It would seem the practice of law is different depending on where one is situated. One thing of relevance for young people is having hands on experience (not just book knowledge) during their education. Perhaps Tibetans in Europe (and their many supporters) can arrange for an internship at the Hague for her?
