EVERYTHING IS IMPORTANT TO ME
I was born in Bhutan, but when I was 2
My family had to leave to go to Nepal
For 17 years we were in refugee camp
We never saw electric light
We had bamboo roof and bamboo walls
1 toilet for 2 families
Through the walls we could hear our neighbors talking
We had lots of friends and lots of fun
And we always helped each other
Our family had no TV
But our friend’s family had one
My sister and I wanted to watch a movie.
When we finished our homework, we left on the run xxxx
We sneaked home, but there was our mother
She was waiting for us
From that day on we never watched TV!
‘Cause we got this xxxx Aieee!
I have 2 brothers, and 2 sisters
2 up, 2 down, I’m the middle one
I have my family here, I have their whole support
Whatever happens, I know I can talk with them
In college I didn’t know what to do
I decided to become a nurse
After 3 years I stopped and said,
“Maybe this is not for me.”
I asked myself: What am I good at?
In the future, what will I be?”
For a while I was lost, I didn’t know what to do
Til a friend told me about Just Bakery
I’m the first in my family to go to school
I’m the first baker in my culture
I’m very creative, and I studied hard
And now I am the Head Baker!
I’m not tired because I love my job
I don’t feel like I’m working when I bake
I love to watch inside the oven
I love the results we make
Many kinds of Bread is what we bake
Focaccia, Multigrain,
and Sourdough
All kinds of Cookies, Muffins, and Cake
Bars, Biscotti, and Cinnamon Rolls
Right now my favorites are Butter Scones
I dance Freestyle, Indian, Nepali, and Hip hop
I play soccer and ping pong, and I like to hike
I love doing henna art
And of course I love to bake!
Everything is important to me
Whatever I do, Whoever I meet
I don’t like people putting other people down
If I don’t agree with someone, we’re going to sit down
We’re going to talk together and work it out
Speaking up is important, that’s what I’m all about
