Tell us about the neighborhood that you grew up in and how it helped shape you into the kind of person you are today. (Yale and the University of Chicago)
The country that I am from is certainly different from any other countries. I am from a Southeast Asian country called Thailand. In Thailand, the Thais are thought to be respectful; back in my old school in Thailand, the one before I apply for Woodstock School, every morning at about 8 o’clock and every evening at about 6 o’clock, all the Thais would stop what they are doing and sing the national anthem as the flag rises to the top of the flagpole. In Thailand, I am a day scholar and I live with my family consisting of my dad, my mom, my brother and my sister. My family is neither rich nor poor. We have money, but we do not use it for non-benefiting things such as following fashion. My parents always tell me not to waste any opportunity cost, they tell me to think about the future, not the present because what really matters the most is the future so here I am writing an essay to apply into an extremely awesome university for the better future. What my parents thought me to be cautious about what I do; I think more than once before I decide to do something. However, my parents also tell me that not everything are important; things that I need not care about, I would be really casual and carefree about them since they will not impact my future that much. As of now, the 4 of November of 2011, Thailand is flooded and my family is a victim. My parents tell me that they are fine and I should not worry about them because I have to pay attention for my schooling. Of course I care about them, but what can I do for them? All I can do for them is prey and study hard for them so we will be able to move to a better place where we will not be flooded in the future.
