SUTEERA NITTAYANANTA Thai students wear uniforms to school. The school from which. I graduated, is catted. Pre-university school. It has only M.S.j (11th grade) and M.S.5 (12th grade). I took Thai, English, French, Social study, general science, and physical education. blow, in Mt. Vernon Hiah, I am taking journalism, chain, economic , government, English, French, and U.S History. I enjoyed being in the play Brigadoon very much. Making the Wildcat Word (our school newspaper) Is always interesting to me. The clubs I signed up for are AFS, French, and History. My favorite sports are basketball and swimming. My own family lives in a village in the south of Thailand. I have three brothers and three sisters. We are all going to school except my elder sister who is just graduated faom a nurse college in Bangkok. My parents own a gas station. My {other is also a reporter. Some days, I would like to become a journalist. I believe that communication and the best understanding of all the people is the basis of peace and real happiness. There might be some differences in this wide world but we will never feel far apart if only we: Walk together, talk together, All ye people of the earth, Then and only then, Shall ye have peace.
