My Flood Personal Experience


It didn’t really affect me personally, but finding food in the supermarket was very difficult such as noodles, snacks, napkins, tissue, etc. It was like World War 3 situation, where everyone grabs their needs and runs away like theres a battle around in Thailand except its flooding. No, I did not relocate and my family is completely fine. The flood however did not affect my family’s business much. My maternal grandma and my uncle are living in Chiangmai. I’m not so sure if I am able to return to school on Monday because my soi is sort of flooded and I’m not sure if the Montri School Bus will be able to pick me up. Dealing with the personal motivation and self-discipline in terms of being a continuous online learner was ok, although I try managing time to complete all my assignments sometimes I end up staying up till midnight to complete them and some of my homework had weak scores but does not mean I will not work hard in order to achieve the standards.

The effects of the flood in Thailand in long or short terms could have been weather, or either the Earth is changing. Such as there was an earthquake in Turkey recently, a tornado disaster in California, Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan, Earthquake in China and Haiti. Well, my family has been watching the news everyday to see how the flood process has been going on and making sure that the water won’t flood our soi. My mom is very concern about the flood and she’s making sure that we can get enough needs in order to be prepared in case our soi gets flooded like the people on T.V. I have been discussing this with my mom and my elder brother as well. My mom has predicted that if Thailand was flooded, then why isn’t the north flooded?

Well, the north its landscape is higher than ours and Thailand is flooded because of the water that flows from the mountains of the North. But, it gets very suspicious since Thailand flooded and raining, why isn’t the North raining and flooded too? Yes, it’s because the Earth is changing and the Thai government has made the flood situation even worse. If the Chinese people have been putting out water to Thailand, and Thailand is flooded...Wouldn’t that make sense? Since the tide makes the river go up and down, letting Thailand being flooded and China is still putting out water, isn’t that kind of obvious to you? My mom predicted that the Thai government should have known something suspicious about this, and maybe they’re afraid to speak out against China, since there an economist country. Their also pretending to help out but, they’re the ones who are maybe behind it. Now, I’m not putting all the blame on China, this is a prediction.

As an individual or community member, I would help if my soi wasn’t flooded and save those people who are in the flooded areas. Make the situation better, not worser. If I stop and listen to my moral compass it would say “Stop the flood, I want school back, and save Thailand before it turns out to be a sea in 50 years”.  I would expect the government to turn those thoughts into action, I cannot believe the Thai government has actually made the situation worser and I would expect them to be very serious about it. They also should apply more critical thinking on how to make it better and they should not laws like if someone is above 60, they may be release from jail if they become good that is not going to help save the flood, that’s just rising the criminal percentage or whatever they call as a criminal list.

Who Are You Video By Pinky

       This is a video about my family, school, media, hobbies and I hoped you enjoyed it. But, I would like to explain what my video is about, first I would explain what my personality traits are like. One of my personality traits is that I'm outgoing, nice, funny, competitive, hardworking and gregarious. In class, sometimes I would talk to my neighbours but, mostly I would be quiet. People would say I am talkative and what I meant by gregarious is that I make friends easily and I'm outgoing because I like to talk to different people and I don't really care what others say about the friends I make since I know what kind is the right friend to make. 
      The major influences from my personality traits are from my friends and my parents. When I was young, I would always finish my assignments no matter what because my mom taught me how to be responsible and prepared for classes. When I first came to this school, I had no friends and I didn't talk to anyone at all except the boys. The influence of making friends came from the people I talk to and interact with. The friends I make now influenced me to be more outgoing and gregarious. The categories changed or impacted the way I am now is that the friends I make mostly because they changed the way I think about a lot of things and they completely changed my world by changing my music taste and the way I dress.
       The positive things about this project is that I'm pretty much happy that I didn't have to waste a lot of time wasting for its upload and I think the pictures were enough for the category. The negative things about this project itself was that I think I should have add some text and change the school cateogry's song because I think it didn't actually the theme of it. I think I should have some spend more time to improve this video because I'm afraid I might get a bad grade and I think I should improve on adding more pictures to the media category like books and movies that I like. I think should have explained the spiritual life in a more brief way like adding pictures of me praying or doing a ceremony or going to the temple. The other positive thing is that I was glad that the hard work was all worth it and the pictures looks organized.

Birmingham Grid of Learning Reflection

In my social studies class, my teacher gave the whole class an assignment which is doing the birmingham grid of learning. After taking this test, I realize how much I found out about myself. I am person smart, I learn names real quick and I understand a lot about other people. When I saw my logical smart, I was shocked because I had no idea I wasn't a really number smart person but, I was surprised that I was sort of a kinaesthetic person because I wasn't really an athletic student and I didn't really like to participate in pe class that much. I am visual, musical, and intrapersonal smart because I like to imagine and observe how things would be like. I listen to music often and I would sometimes remember the lyrics if  I get addicted to it or either I know the song name or artist. I know myself a lot better than most people do and I know what I like and dislike. I was happy that I was word smart because I know that I'm a gemini and most geminis would speak most of their languages fluently because their talkative.I had no idea that I was also a bit of naturalistic smart because sometimes I like to litter but, sometimes I like to look at the trees and think how beautiful the view would be if I were sitting up there and looking at it. Sometimes my thoughts can tell me how a tree describes how my life was right now and as I said I am visual smart. My visual smart can also lead me to all sorts of crazy imaginations or dreams. As I am visualizing I would think about the important things that are happening in my life right now and try to think what would happen if that would be my future or create all sorts of crazy stuff into a plot or story. I think this test was a good experience because I discover some things that I didn't know about myself and it was a good opportunity to let your teachers know how they should teach you to understand or they can know you're either logic, visual or number smart. In conclusion, I think everyone should take this test because you can discover more things about yourself and know what technique or strategy would it be easy for you to use and understand while your learning in class.
