Summary of The Year Gone By

In the beginning of the year, I was both curious and nervous to
go to 3rd Grade. I expected that I would be going back to
physical school, but unfortunately, I still had to study online. We
started the term by introducing ourselves and getting to know
our friends and teachers better. We then did many fun activities
throughout the year like, making cookies, doing choice boards,
writing stories and learning about different kinds of poems. It is

amazing how fast time has passed and now I can't wait to be in
4th Grade, but I am also sad to leave my teachers, Miss Gupta
and Miss Pillai who encouraged me to think out of the box and My Adventure Up to Tigers' Nest
be creative. Time has gone as fast as a cheetah, but this year is Imagine being 10, 232 feet above sea level, right opposite Paro Tabtsang, a majestic Buddhist monastery on a steep cliff. This cliff is called
the best I've ever had, and I will remember this experience
Tigers' Nest in Bhutan which is where I went for my end of Term break, in 2019. I was to trek up the mountain with my family
always and forever.
(Grandparents, parents and sister). It was nice and sunny when we reached the base of the trek at around 09:00 a.m. At the starting point
Ayaan Seth we rode on ponies for about 2 kilometers because the ground was steep and it would be easier for my grandparents.
We stopped in sometime as the ponies weren't allowed to go any further. As we started walking up, we realised that it would be a tough
trek because it was steep and at some places there were lots of rocks together, so it was easy to trip. Along the trek we saw Prayer Flags.
समस (बड़ा दन) They came in colours of red, green, blue, yellow and white. They are kept for the safety of all trekkers. My sister was only three at that
time, so we took short breaks every 200 meters. After two hours, we were very tired and almost gave up.

Just then, we saw a monastery on the opposite cliff. This really lifted our spirits and we felt motivated to carry on! But there were many

more steps to go. Despite being tired, I continued walking, as I wanted to get to the monastery. Finally, we reached! The monastery was

That night, in the hotel we showered, ate and went to sleep peacefully, dreaming about more treks like this!
