A Desicion I've Made - Weeraorn Imjai

A turning point of my life


Looked back to my high school life, I chose Japanese - English as my major subject. 

When the university entrance exam season came to my life, I had to choose the major and faculty that I wanted to study. I was able to choose four ranks. Finally, I made decision to put all ranks with a major of Japanese in different universities. At that time, I needed to put a code (it was a number) of a major and university on a paper. In the past a process to apply to university was in paper based.

The day of result announcement came, I got the result via a message on mobile phone. 

I was very excited and very happy to know that I got a major and university that was in a first rank from four ranks.

However, something seemed wrong. I checked the code of subject and university again and I found that I made a mistake. I put a wrong code and It was a code of a major of Thai language! It was a big problem for me, a high school student, a girl who must have studied in a field that never thought about before. I was so stressed.

After that, I consulted family and close friends. I got many ideas. Then I evaluated the situation and decided to be in Thai language Major because I didn't want to wast my time. If I had felt hard in studying in Thai major and really disliked it, I would have quit.

Unbelievable that I was very happy to study in Thai language major and I chose Japanese for minor subjects. Unfortunately, the subject’s time both in Thai language major and Japanese major always were in the same period. So, I stopped to studying Japanese and chose public relations and corporate communication for my minor subject.

After I Graduated, I continued to study Thai language major in a master’s degree. I planned to be a lecturer in university. However, finally I chose to apply for a teacher in high school which a job and where a place I never thought about. Haha

I had lots of tuning points in my life.

I don’t know why. It might be destiny.

If I had the opportunity to change something in this story, I would have put a correct code of Japanese major. My life must had change in a different way.

By the way I’m very happy now and never thought to fix it.😊

    Interesting story! So glad that everything has turned out well. You showed a lot of maturity at a young age to buckle down and study Thai language even though it wasn't what you had planned to study. David :-)

Surveillance Technology - Emi Kawamori

   I think that the advantage and disadvantage of surveillance technology is the debatable problem. In my opinion, the technology of the CCTV camera makes our life much safer. If there was no CCTV camera around the city, there might be a lot of crimes. For example, in the supermarket, it could be much easier to stole the stuffs. In case of on the street at night, the possibility of happened to meet suspicious person would be rise. According to above, the technology of CCTV camera makes our life safer and thanks to it, we don't have to much scared of stranger. Although there are any benefit to us, I sometimes feel little scared of the CCTV camera. When I use the lift, there are often CCTV cameras on the wall. It makes inside of the lift safe, but we cannot know who is watching us.  I feel scared of been seen by someone without my notice. As conclusion, it makes our life safer, but the company which sets the cameras  should make it clear who is watching and how the inf...

Surveillance Technology-Nagisa Kanakubo

  I think surveillance technology is necessary for our safety. However, it can be dangerous thing.  That technology is very useful to prevent crime and keep cities safe. In fact, there are so many CCTV cameras all over my country. And I have never been involved in crime. That tells us thanks to them, we can live more peacefully. However, some of them make me uncomfortable. For example, when I realize that someone is watching my movement, shopping habits and myself, I feel scared even if I don’t have nothing to hide. In other words, I worry that someone can identify me if my personal information is leaked.  In short, surveillance technology is important, but I feel that our privacy may be invaded.

Market Day Debrief - Nagisa Kanakubo

   Today's market was fun because there were a lot of shops. I saw accessory shops and clothes shops and tried a game, too.  It was the most interesting that many of the accessories were made by people. Both of the students and the sellers seemed to enjoy the market.  I felt this market was one of the interesting cultures for the students and the local people in New Zealand.
