Soldier

In this world everybody has their own dream job. Some people aim to get wealthier, some famous, some engineer, some lawyer, some doctor and so on. Everybody has their aim and dream job in life based on their interest and preference. However, I neither want wealth nor fame as my only dream job is to become a person who will serve and sacrifice my life for my motherland Bhutan honestly, sincerely and lovingly. Hence, my dream job is becoming a soldier.

I know it's not very easy but giving life to my motherland is much better than being a useless person. The life of soldier is full of adventure, discipline, toughness and risk. And for that matter I want to become a soldier and serve my motherland (Druk Gi Gyelkhab). I know a life of a soldier works with a mission and a moto of do or die, however, a soldier never seeks for war but if he is forced, he will never back up. A soldier never does something that seek war rather he sacrifices many things to to protect and serve faithfully to his nation. I even know soldier are always away from their loved ones and families but the sacrifices are too less than what motherland gives us. Therefore, becoming a soldier is an honorable thing that my life wants to acquire and people will be proud of me for sacrifice my life for the country.

My dream job is only to be Royal Bhutan Army and sole reason is that I got inspired from my own 4th King Jigme Singye Wangchuck a hero who saved our country by risking his own life for the people of the country in the year 2003. Despite being a King of a nation, he was willing to risk his own life and save his nation leaving all loved ones behind and came forward to the battle field and chase away the enemy. My King is the inspiration that I want to save and serve my nation and risk my life for my motherland (Druk Gi Gyelkhab).
