MY CHILDHOOD

I really liked my childhood in Bangkok. Everything was fun! Spending time with my father and grandfather made me happy. I also loved performing on stage, singing and being happy with my friends.

My grandfather passed away when I was three, but I still remember some things he told me. That’s why family became very important to me. My grandmother still lives at our house and my dad is a movie director. My mom can do anything our family needs. My older sister wants to be a missionary; she likes football games and movies.

MORE GOOD THINGS WITH MY FAMILY

My parents always give me good advice. One thing they taught me is that when someone does something bad to you, you shouldn’t do the same thing back. If you do, you’ll be just like them. Instead, you should let it go and focus on what makes you happy.

One time I went to a mountain in Thailand with my family. I loved the adventure we had there. I prefer going on adventures with my family rather than friends. Family adventures feel heartwarming and create strong, unforgettable memories. Friends might forget things, but my family remembers everything because they love me.

ME AT RPIS

When I first came, there were so many good things at RPIS—and one strange thing! A good thing is that when we complete a goal in a subject, we can move on without waiting for others. But I thought it was strange that everyone was so kind, always saying “How are you?” I didn’t know how to talk to people then, but now I’m used to it and feel comfortable with my teachers and classmates.

My favorite subject is math. It’s hard, but it’s fun when you finally understand something—it feels so good! I also like music, art and computer classes. Right now I’m taking Digital Art, which is super fun. I think my special talent is that I can learn fast, when I want to.

In the future, I hope that RPIS has even more students so they can grow up to be good kids. I like being here—it makes me feel normal and happy.

 

ME OUTSIDE OF RPIS

-Sports
I like sports. I like volleyball, football and any game that involves a ball, like tennis and ping pong.

-Art
I have been drawing since I was three years old—basically since I could hold a pencil. At first, I drew people, then other things. Later, I learned more about art by watching YouTube videos and copying what the artists did. As I grew up, I realized that nature was disappearing. There were only loud city noises around me. That’s why I started drawing nature—I wanted to keep nature with me and look at it every day.

-Pets 
I had two white cats that I thought were twins. One of them, the male became fatter than my pillow! His  name was Kevin and the smaller female cat is named Ke qing. My sister named them, but I don’t know why she gave Ke qing a Chinese name. Now, I have only Ke qing because Kevin ran away one night.

-Cosplay 

I like cosplay! One time, I wore a costume that was too big for me because it belonged to my sister. She laughed at me, saying I looked like a baby in adult-sized  clothes! Putting on a costume makes me feel like I’m not myself.  I love being myself. I love how I am, but with cosplay I just enjoy trying something new. There was a lot of pink in my sister’s costume; and I don’t like pink, but I wanted to try something new!

HAPPINESS and MY FUTURE

I am always happy when I’m with friends and family. Their support—and my teachers’ support— has made me the happiest. In the future, I want to be an actor because my Dad’s a movie director. I also want to be the number one football player, because my Dad says so (I don’t know why!). I trust his dreams, though. One day, I hope to make a movie that inspires everyone to follow their own dreams.
