· It seems only yesterday when I first came into this school amidst nature’s beauty. Time crawls when we are having a tough time. But my time here has flown swiftly due to kind help and guidance of our dear teachers, other staff members and students. I won’t hesitate to say that this is the best school I’ve ever been to with the best 2nd parent I’ve ever had the pleasure to know. Sadly many of the problems we encountered this year is due to the mental boundary which separates the students from different former schools, particularly in classes XI and XII. It is what we call ‘groupism’. For instance, all the ex-students of school xyz form a single group for a trip on say, a trekking. This in turn makes the remaining feel left out and lead to their forming a similar group, comprising of the students of their former school. This feeling of differentness should not be allowed to breed, and I think this lies in the hands of the school authority and the present class XI, who can show good examples to the forthcoming fresher. As we’re told time n’ again, we are all T.C.V.ians.- despite our different former schools we share the same mother( Ama Jetsun Pema la), the same family, the same motto and the same mission. We are TCV and I am very proud to be its member.

· If you believe writers are the need of the time and writing is our strength, then love writing and value your school magazine.

· Dear fellow students of Gopur,
This good school consist of students from different branches of T.C.V. And we (Arts students) are all here leaving our old schools and becoming a student of T.C.V Gopalpur. T.C.V Gopalpur is yet a branch school of the big educational institute “T.C.V”. It’s just like we’ve shifted from a home to another one, meeting our new brothers and sisters of same family. It is true that at first we may face small problems being unfamiliar to the new environment. Even I confronted that too. But then its just a matter of time that we’ll again feel at home. I enjoyed being here and hope you too will feel the same! With best wishes for a great Board results and (then) a bright future,
Dukthen Kyi XII ‘B’.

· Dear Gopalpur,
Its so difficult to write in words what I actually feel for you. Because I know they will never be enough. Eight years ago I first stepped into your lap. Since then till now you cuddled me with love and care. I am going to miss you. That's for sure. But before I bid you goodbye I have some words for you. "Keep up your spirit; never loose the faith. You can make difference in a student's life, just as you did to mine. Thank you. Thank you very much."
Tenzin Tsomo XII B

· Dear everybody,
This short message is to request you all to enthusiastically focus more on study to become a proud Tibetan in future.
And always respect your elders and be yourself secure by cocoon of politeness. “education without character is lifeless”.
Tenzin Chemi X D

· Dear friends
“As you sow, so you reap.” is a famous saying. We are here to sow seed of success and glory for Tibet. With great hardship and torture we have crossed the Himalayas and left our beloved country and inflicted pain in our hearts? The snow-capped mountain is our beloved land and the rusty face people our brothers and sisters. Tibet and Tibetans place their hopes on us. So sow your seed properly from now onwards and remember that the seed sown in child hood is not sown in vain. Never forget that some one needs your help to rise up. I am very indebted and owe a great to our advisor Gen Wangchuk lak and other members. I really enjoyed my work. Thank you each and everyone.
Lastly wish you a happy reading. The Yours friend,
Ngwang Paljor X D

· Dear friends

· Dear Friends,
It is said "Don't care what people say, do it if it's fair. Because, they will always find something to say whether you do it or you don't". I would like to tell you to grab opportunities when they are at your door because it never returns. Nevertheless success is achieved through sheer struggle and strain. And yes, tackle the things that life may cruelly throw at you.
Thanks and La Vida Feliz. Yangchen Wangmo Ragon

· By taking this opportunity, I thank our home amala for her loving heart, our genlas for their great teachings and guidance, and all other staff members including our restless nurses.

So far I found that many of you are very well mannered and studious as usual. Always be obedient to the elders and lovethe young ones. Give cooperative to the teachers and to those who take special responsibilities in the school. I hope and pray that everything in this school will progress.

· Respected friends,
"If you can't be the super star of your nation, at least try to be the candle for your family. With that I would like to say, if you can't contribute in this school, just leave as it was already there. Countless hands have united to have this magnificent Gopalpur. This year is one of my most precious and memorable year. I am glad that I have contribute little bit of my time and energy to this motherly loved school. I would like to thank each and everyone of you from deep in my heart. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND ALL THE BEST!!!!
"Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can.
As long as ever you can"
Tsewang.R.Mechokpa XII D

· My dear friends ,
As the year comes to an end a few words I would like to jot here meant not as an advice but as a suggestion. I might have offended you on some occasions, but I feel no regret for I carried out the responsibility on my shoulder. Yet I would be very happy if you people could forgive me. I think we can enjoy his fullest rights when we follow the rules and regulations of that society. Saying also goes like "No good comes out of breaking rules". I think you will enjoy your school life if you follow the rules and regulations of the school and I hope you will do so
Migmar XII B

· Respected Staff members,
I lay my heartfelt gratitude for your immense support and sincerity. Though it is the least I could do, but still I THANK YOU ALL for your great works. As you navigate all the twists and turns, on your way, troublesome path may tire you. Rest then, but never loose hope for hundreds still are waiting for you to reach them and free them from the ignorance of wisdom. Please keep the momentum going on.

Dear Gopur students,
Along with the "RIGHTS" and opportunities provided by the school, there are also the “DUTIES” and responsibilities. Take both and happiness will follow you. I wish you all luck in your life and may you get what you deserve.
Dukthen Kyi XII B

· Dear friends,
Hoped and swore to surmount the year with sheer struggle and strain , breeding broad smiles to my fellows in relish of the conditional do's and don'ts. Yet the tempest of defiled spirits blew out by the flame that fueled by the courage of conviction and loyalty. There exist the thought, fished no for compliments nor for upmanship. Despite the slings and arrows, had to risk unpopularity for my views. But my hands are clean, tongues mild, heart sound and vision clear. That my kind of a leader, bolster the truth, reason and just. Lastly, I confess and beg your forgiveness as I had no makings of a leader. I mean "An army of lions could never be led by a stag". He that goes to law, holds a wolf by the ears. Mercy loosens the law. To my promise and to no regret I strained every nerves.
Palden (Ngawa) X D

· My Dear schoolmates,
I wanted to tell you all to try to be a well-mannered TIBETAN student. If you can't help your school at least refrain from destroying it. As we say " If you can't be a star to the world, be a small candle to your family." So try to be one. All the best for your future. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff members for every single good thing you all have done just for our own sake. THANK YOU GENLAS. Hope you all won't loose hopes. Gopur needs you!!!
Pema Pelmo X D

· Dear fellow students,
Through this opportunity I would like to convey my word of thanks for your firm support towards us. School life is a very short and happy phase of your lifetime. Don’t waste this time. Do study hard, not for your own stomach, not for your own family, and not for your own fame, but for our nation ‘Tibet’. You must have the sense of nationalism and strong feeling for your country. And only then, you could do something different. Always believe in yourself.
Yours sincerely
Ngawang Gelek XII C

· Dear school mates,
I find all the students and staff members very cooperative and supportive. Immense thanks for that. Here my little suggestion is that our daily life can be a happy or sad one. It is a matter of choice. Whether it is happy or sad moment, but it is true that any incident occur influence our relation and feelings. Finally never ever forget that we Tibetan have big “R” on our forehead by birth. Never lose our determination and efforts towards our study. Be positive at all times. May success follow you all like your shadow.
Yours well wisher,
Yeshi Khando XII C
