My name is Kaewta Kaewlek, I am from Suratthani, Thailand. I already had a Bachelor of Public Administration degree majoring in Fiscal Management in October, 2014 from Khon Kaen University.
In 2013, I got the scholarship from Education and Cultural Exchange Thailand for a student cultural exchange at Yale College, Wrexham, United Kingdom that was my first time I go abroad and it is good experiences in my life. Besides the knowledge that I got from studied at the college, I was good experiences with many cultures and I had to learn many-thing for instance adapt skills, problem-solving skills. After that, I came back to study in the final year at the university. When I studied, I enjoyed participating in group-work and I was always selected to be leader which help me to be a leadership and teamwork skills. While I was studying in my course, I had an opportunity to do many projects, however, the project which I am the most impressive in the Rural Economics Project "Mushroom Millionaire" because the succeed in this project more than the experiences or the knowledge applied to practical uses in Rural Economics, Finance, Marketing and Management. Subjects could solve the problems of the community in BanNounsawan, Khon Kaen, Thailand where is rural areas whole three fields are economics, society and environment.
I graduated within 3.5 years with a grade point average (GPA) of 2.96 out of 4.00 scale or 74% out of 100%. In the final year in the college, I was an internship in the Cooperative Education in Fiscal Management project that I apprentice at Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand for four mounts that I intend to exert. These were incredibly valuable opportunities to learn about the State Enterprises Financial and obtain experience and knowledge that cannot be learned through books and classroom study alone.
