Lovely Journey
Every journey leaves you with memories and lessons. For me, this twoweek journey in Songkhla has been a precious gift. I'm proud of myself for choosing this project, spending time with my host family, and teaching English to students at Wat BangSala and Wat Prangkaew schools.
Each person I met along the way had their own unique story, and I'm glad to have learned about their journeys. I especially want to express my heartfelt gratitude to my host family—Mom,Dad, Ung Ing, and Oak. Thank you all for welcoming me so warmly and making me a part of the family. Thank you, Mom, for every meal and for your care; you are such a wonderful woman whom I truly admire.
I am also deeply thankful to the teachers at the schools for their kindness and unwavering dedication to the students.
Thank you to our workcamp leader Que and the teachers and students at Thaksin University for being so kind and lovely. Your bright and positive energy has lit up my soul and helped me become more open about my feelings—something I had always been scared and afraid to talk about.
Two weeks may seem short to some, but the good memories and precious friendships I have gained make it more than enough for me
