No matter how much I inquired about high school and told of the life of high school by older friends and some family members, I... could never have been completely prepared. No book of advice or voice of wisdom can prepare another for the situations and feelings encountered in high school.

I saw the play, How I learned to Drive on the last day. I kind of wish they had... done a talk-back after the show because I would have liked to get the actors point of view on the characters and what it was like to play them. Overall, it wasn’t the best play I have ever seen, but it wasn’t bad. I think it was the topics of molestation and incest that compel my negative feelings toward it. In fact, I left the theater feeling sick to my stomach because of the subject matter. The play...

How did I learn to become Thai?
What is Thainess? And what is not Thainess? These questions are not easy to answer.
Dubout (2009) defines... that Thainess is something that makes Thai people who they are, that can never be truly explained or understood without actually living and experiencing it. It is instinctive. I believe it’s true. However, my Thainess may somewhat differ from those of others as I was born and originally raised in the rural area of the small province in the South called Phatthalung...

What Have I Learned About Life
When a person is born there is a really no end to the learning that occurs from... that point forward.

They are doomed to such a gray existence, unless there is a person or a team of associates who discover the essence and meaning in this frozen system. Such a person is called a leader and a role...

My Skills From High School
Learning to read and write in college is a situation parallel to Issac... Newton’s quote, “If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.” This is because Newton was able to advance the knowledge of science because he simply advanced the research of other great scientists. The skills that will be attained here in college are simply the sharpening of the skills I have already learned in high school.
