First of all, I would like to thank you for reading my letter and spending time on getting to know me better. My name is Ilada, You can call me ice. I’m 16 years old. I was born on July 15, 1999. My family has five members. There is my father my mother, my younger sister, my younger brother and me. I am the first child so I have responsibility at least to lead my younger sister and younger brother to walk in the true line. My father is a foreign and logistics employee at rubber manufacturer and exporter. He is 47 years old. He is very humble and democracy person. My mother is a nurse. She is 42 years old. She is generous and polite person. My younger sister is creative and clever person. My younger brother is an ambitious person who never gives up in his life. We all live happily together. I am so close with my father and others because our family is a democracy family that everybody could say any problem and sharing with each other. When we have dinner we always share our own experiences for a whole day. In part of responsibility, my father will fix the broken things. My mother, my sister and I will do all housework. My mother also has a lot of work to do. I try to help her whenever I can. Mostly I help my mom sweep the floor, cook rice, take care of my young brother, wash my clothes, tidy rooms and I like to help my mom when she is cooking. Now, I live in the center of southern Thailand with my family. Many visitors who had been there figuratively called it “Little Paris of the southern of Thailand”. At here, there are beaches Waterfall Lake and other natural attractions. Shopping is another big attraction, it has several modern department stores and hundreds of street stalls. So, that makes my family love to travel on holiday but on normal day, my family likes to play sports for exercise such as riding bicycle, badminton and swimming.
My family and my friends would describe me as funny, friendly, self-confident, have a sense of humor, easy going, and can get along well with everyone. So, I love to entertain and talk to others. I am very polite, I respect all of my elders, I am kind, and pleasant. Moreover I am open-minded girl who try to learn new things around me. I adapt myself well in new environment. I not worried about making new friends and I like to talk to new people easily. If difficult time comes I will not give up and try to overcome the situation.
My favorite hobbies are singing, listening to music, watching movies and photography. My favorite genres are classic and pop music. I always listen to music when I am free. I love watching movies and American series because I want to improve my English listening skill and to know about American culture and American lifestyle. Romantic comedy, action and horror are the kind of movies that I like to watch. I enjoy photography because it has allowed me to capture moments in my own life that I don’t want to forget. Photographs can show more than just how something looked. They can capture how something felt. I think Photographs are the best souvenir from the travels. They are personal, beautiful, and have a story behind them. I also spend time volunteering at the school for the blind. Volunteering lets me spend some time focusing on others for a while. Volunteering is a great way to meet people who are different from me and to try something new.
Besides my family, my friends are the most important persons in my life. My friends and I have the approximate liking example music, books and sports. We like to play basketball in our free time. My friends and I are always together, no matter where we are! We go to places like the mall. We go to the beaches and waterfall together. A few days ago we got Pose pictures together. We also help each other with schoolwork. I love when it comes to my birthday, because I get a lot of presents from my friends and my family haha. When we have final tests at school, we usually study together. After that we go hang out and see a movie at the mall.
Life is full of challenges. I have faced many challenges in my life. Sometimes I have failed and sometimes I have got success. When I have a problem, I will consider what the cause of problem and try to solve it. Sometimes I seek help from my parents. I ask questions usually when I am unsure about something or a situation. There will be sometimes I feel stressful. At that time I always listen to music to relax. For the most part, we all know that music is therapeutic and helps us cope with the stress of life. It is melodies and lyrics make me become happier and forget my sadness quickly. The part that I feel difficult is when I got worse score than I want from my exam. I always think that I did not study hard enough so that makes me more attempts to study. I think the difficult situation are the biggest lessons and can help me in my personality development.
At school, I am a class president. When someone does not understand something in class, I offer to help him or her out because it is the least I can do since I understand the subject. I feel that I am well-respected among my friends. People often come up to me with their concerns or problems. I feel that they discuss these things with me because they know that I am going to try to help them. And I am a choir of the school. My first show choir concert changes my life. I felt really good about myself, because I had conquered one of my fears, performing in front of large crowds. I felt pride in myself, and my self-confidence was boosted.
When I was young I dreamed that I want to go to America because America is beautiful country, beautiful nature and provide effective education. There are a lot of reasons for me to spend a year abroad. One of the biggest reasons is to study American culture. First, I want to see a new country with a new culture and a new lifestyle. I want to have a different experience that Thailand does not have and I absolutely like in teaching methods in American high school because they will teach us to express opinion. And I want to share my Thai culture to other countries. Watching many movies about American high school that make me curious about how my years abroad would teach me my life lesson. Second, I want to meet new people, make new friends and gain a second family. I want to feel like I have a second home abroad. I am excited to imagine there could be another family and a number of friends all over the world. Being an exchange student I will meet friends from around the world. I really like to meet new person and become familiar with them because I can get along well with everyone. Third, I want to become more grown-up, independent and gain more self-confident. And another reasons, Some of my favorite things in life is to travel and experience new thing. I like to travel and observe everything that surrounds me. I love exploring the natural beauty of a new place and trying new foods. And I want to improve my English skill because it will be important for my future. I think I will be successful exchange student and I will try my best.
My ambition is to become a doctor. So, I need to study hard and be more mature. I hope that my life will be better and better. And I want to achieve my goal.
