Together to gather by Halo from Bannearnsaart School on July 19,2018
Hello, I’m Halo.
I like a word which says: youth means limitless possibilities.
So I’m here.
The first time I saw Krutop and Emmy, I thought they are serious.
But now we are good friends: Emmy likes to take photos for us, and Top always talks to us kindly.
- The first time I got to school, it was at night. At that time, I couldn’t imagine how colorful it would be. Now I am deeply immersed by the sky, the clouds, and the grass. The first time I ate Thai food, I wasn’t sure if I liked it. Now my favorite food is Thai hot pot. I’m also glad we have many lively teachers who are good at cooking. The first time I met the students, I was worried that they might feel unfamiliar with me. Now we have fun together and always enjoy great times.
- The first time I took class, I thought maybe there would be some trouble. Actually, students and teachers helped me a lot — taking me to the class, lending me books… There are still a lot of amazing “first times”: First time singing with students First time students taught me to play games First time going out for shopping Not only the first time, every time was wonderful. I’m pretty sure next times will be even more joyful. Word + L(ove) = WORLD When a word with love is not only a word, it can become a new “world” one day.
- Two weeks passed, and I’ve been deeply impressed by everyone and everything here. Lovely students always make me feel full of happiness. Some call “teacher” again and again to get your attention Some do interesting things to make you laugh Others may be shy and just shake your hands They are not only students, but also my friends and even family. They indeed make me feel at home. Also, they are clever and hardworking. Though we make fun after class, when class begins, they all listen carefully. If you ask them to read along with you, they do better every time. Even homework becomes a cheerful thing — they correct mistakes and submit again to improve. If you give them a sticker, they are delighted for a long time.
- As time goes by, I’m glad they are making progress in English. Meanwhile, I can feel my own growth in daily life. When I teach, it’s easier for me to make myself clear. When I stay with students, I feel satisfied. We grow up together. In my opinion, when teaching words, it’s necessary to spend time and inject love. A word with love can make a miracle — maybe give others positive energy, perhaps even change the world.
- Together to gather, my dears, Nice to meet you always. Glad to see you every morning. Colorful flowers always make me recall wonderful moments. Also one word to mention: สวยงาม. Due to language barriers, we often communicate through expressions and actions. Now, after they call me teacher without speaking, I can understand their meaning. I love their smiles — once they smile, they are beautiful flowers in my mind. In the picture above is a primary 3 student. I mainly have classes for primary 2, 3 & 5. She seems to be the monitor of her class. At the beginning of every class, she always says “stand up please” full of energy. At the end of every class, the students always say: “Thank you teacher, see you again next time.” Last week, teacher Chelsea went home, and said: “Thank you students, see you again next time.” Though one week passed, the moment is still clear for me.
- Let’s discover the inside world of Bank. He is like a big brother to all students — organizes hoisting the flag, maintains discipline, calls students to clean up, etc. He looks strict when he doesn’t smile, but when he smiles, you are deeply impressed. Last week afternoon, he and classmates sang a song for me. Four students performed like a professional band Bank was the main singer and dancer Other two students played beats and b-box It reminded me of the band I had in high school.
- Every picture shows a story. Every smile passes happiness. Every time I see students, I see the starry sky in their eyes. I still have a lot of stories, see you again next time. หนึ่งสองสาม I love you >3< Nothing’s gonna change my love for you. This week, a lot happened: Chinese tourists had an accident in Thailand A school teacher fell off a motorcycle For myself, I had a toothache, then throat ache, and finally a cold. Fortunately, I am better now. Emmy and boss also got sick; I hope they recover soon. The students’ smiles were like medicine — seeing them every day made me feel better.
- On Tuesday, primary 3 class gave me a warming surprise. I taught them how to count in English, so they taught me how to count in Thai: First finger: “หนึ่ง” Second finger: “สอง” Third finger: “สาม” This time, at the third finger, they showed “I love you” together. At that moment, it felt like they were my whole world. Students are lively, like singing and dancing. Sometimes I let them sing or dance, and the classroom becomes their stage. All students become fans; their hands are like microphones. Primary 5 class has ten students: eight girls, two boys. They are learning words about housework. I let them stand in a line: the first student selects a word, acts it for the second student, and so on. The last one guesses the word through their act.
- Bye ~ I’m going to play with students. I want more fun with them — play volleyball, TikTok, etc. Students have always been my sunshine, even though it has been raining recently. I get along with students not only in class, but also in daily life. For example, I enjoy teacher Ploy’s painting class. One favorite activity is painting with leaves or flowers. We press the leaf/flower on paper to transfer the color — amazing images appear.
- I think this place has magical energy, making me want to improve myself. Every Thursday, students and teachers wear sports suits and do yoga. In my spare time, I exercise with teacher Jang. Sometimes student To joins us after school. One day, after exercise, he painted my portrait on the blackboard — very serious, even the words on my clothes were exact.
- Yesterday my friend asked me about my feeling staying here. I replied: “There are always some surprises.” On Wednesday, student Biw wrote something on the blackboard: 128√ey8U At first, I thought it was a math question, but she wiped the upper part, and it became: “I love you” I couldn’t help laughing. They are so lovely, and I have to say: “I love them too.” Below is primary 5 class photo, hope our happiness can also infect you.
