  "Congratulation to you all guys and gals Class of 2012!"                           


        Since last year, I started to blog about our Bhutanese High School graduate from the 

state of Washington.  This page was setup with the fair intention to introduce our 

community with our High School grads, but these days it is going to be my another time 

machine to aware me how fast the year is at the corner! 


Last year in 2011, I was able to collect name of 34 Bhutanese High School graduate from 

the state of Washington. This year two more making the total of 36 Bhutanese graduate 

High School; however, it is still not sure about the total number of High School Bhutanese : 

class of 2012. The surprise is that- Everett city which celebrate eight graduates last year 

counts zero graduate this year. In the same way, Burien city also lacks HS graduate face in 

2012.

Below are the name and some group graduation's picture of Bhutanese High School 

graduate from 

six different city of Washington: namely-  

Spokane,  Lynnwood, Tukwila, Seatac, Kent, and Rainier.

  Washington Let's go to college- A project with awesome dream!

 


We usually hear a saying that goes: "if there is a will there is a way." Same thing has been once 
-->
proven by some of our fellow Bhutanese Students in Washington.
Understanding the need of awareness, encouragement, and support for further education in newly 
adjusting Bhutanese community in this great state of America, our fellow friends have had 
introduced a goodwill project so called- "Washington let’s go to college." Here is brief introduction 
of this project and its need in our community.


Mission
Aware high school students the importance of college education

Who are we?
We are a very small group of committed Bhutanese students trying to make a difference in the lives of current and upcoming high school Bhutanese (not limited) students by motivating, mentoring, influencing, and guiding them to make a proper use of post high school educational opportunities awaiting them. We are “GO TO COLLEGE PROJECT.”

What are we doing?
·         Talking about college and academic careers
·         Helping students prepare for standardized college entrance exams
o   ACT/SAT/ and other subject test
o   HSPE
o   End of course assessment
o   AP
·         Working with students on their college applications, personal statements, essays and scholarships
·         Connecting participating students to different education resources
·         Homework or other special project help as needed

Why are we doing?
Because….
o   We’ve learned that a huge proportion of current high school Bhutanese students are in verge of not being able to graduate from high school due to their deficiency in various State\School District requirements, set aside them being able to be accepted into universities.
o   We’re, technically, the first generation of high school graduates among resettled Bhutanese in the State of WA, so we wanted to celebrate this privilege by leaving behind an awesome educational environment to those following us, so that they can rebuild on our efforts to establish a civilized Bhutanese Community.  
o   We care!!!


Our Long Term Goals
o   To establish a culture of getting a college degree among Bhutanese students
o   To increase the ratio of Bhutanese students in colleges and Universities


Where and How?
The project will only run on weekends (obviously, we’re all busy on weekdays). We’ll gather at two different venues in Kent and Tukwila. The probable venues are: World Relief Kent and REWA in Tukwila. World Relief Kent is considering our request but hasn’t confirmed yet. We’re yet to talk to REWA seriously. We’ll start the project as soon as we confirm our meeting room for each week.

We Need….
o   BCRC's support to encourage parents.
o   Representative from BCRC in our meetings.
o   Good participation and involvement of all our High School Friends

Our High School Graduates: Class of 2011





         We remember how important SLC exam and its outcome were to students, parents, and to the whole community back in the Camps. SLC was considered as the milestone for higher education, and for successful future. Here at USA High School Graduation is almost related to School leaving Certificate (SLC), which has its own importance and magnitude.

                 
               National Center for Education defined a high school graduate as an individual who has received formal recognition from school authorities, by the granting of a diploma, for completing a prescribed course of studies at the secondary school level. That means a high school graduate is considered as the beginner of collage level education.
                    
              According to nces.ed.gov around 3,234 thousand students supposed to get high school diploma in 2011-2012. In the same statistic 34 students are counted from Bhutanese community in WA. Below are the name and city of the High school graduate from Bhutanese Community living in WA.

         
                               "We all Bhutanese are proud of you all high school graduates and wish for your bright and  successful future. You are the future of Bhutanese community, move ahead and be a good example to the country and the community.  You guys Rock!"
