My Pace of Life

Eighteen years ago, I was born in Bangkok where my parents met and got married. At the age of two, I attended kindergarten, sooner than any other student due to my parents’ jobs. Then, I attended grade 1 to 6 at Santa Cruz Convent School and grade 7 to 9 at Satriwattaya School. When I was younger, my parents always took me to the park every weekend.

The first book my mother gave me as a present was ‘A little prince’. I was very excited. Although it took me a long time, I finally finished reading it. Then, I became a bibliophile. Getting good grade and having passion in English inspired me to take further studying in the field of language. My name is Kulthama and my nickname is Kul. I am the only child, raised by my parents who are quite kind and flexible. Nevertheless, there are some rules that I have to follow. The more trust you receive from parents, the more respect you display. I am, now, studying at Triam Udom Suksa which is the best-known school in Thailand, in grade 12. During my life at Triam Udom, not only do I study hard but I also participate in many extracurricular activities such as sport’s day, the speech contest, Thai shell quiz, the charity, to name but a few to develop my skills. I have acquired many good things from these non-academic activities. For instance, I learn to deal with many kinds of people, work as a team, be responsible for everything I do. Furthermore,
