My Unforgettable Flood Experience

          This year’s flood was difficult for every single victim in Thailand. Unfortunately, my house was flooded, but my family is currently safe. The water is above my head in front of my house, so we had relocated and moved to the northern of Thailand in Khao Yai. We didn’t have much problem because we owned a house in Khao Yai. The weather at Khao Yai was very good, but the only problem was that the Internet was extremely slow because the signal was projected from an iPhone. Most of the time, I would be using the Internet through my iPad. My dad was a bit stressed out because his factory and his office were flooded really bad. Now, he feels better because the water at the factory has dried out from the 10 pumps he had placed around the factory to pump the water out. The current situation is okay. It is really hard to get in and out my house because the water is still really high in front of my house, but because my house is in a higher level than the water, my house inside is dry and clean. Sometimes the light would shut off automatically, but luckily I had an electric generator, which could provide me with a limited amount of electricity. I had been doing my best on keeping up with the online learning. I may had turn in some works late, and that is because of the low signal Internet that had been connecting and disconnecting most of the time, which ruins the Gmail upload. I think I can be able to return to school on Monday because of the 55 centimeters of water that had reduced since a week ago in my area.

            The flood had caused damage to many things. I believe that the short term effects after the flood would be the industrial damages, the mosquitoes problem that could cause people malaria, and the restoration of the houses and properties. The long term problems would be the roads that had been havoc, the homeless people that have nowhere to live, and destroyed crops. Rice and vegetables would be extremely expensive, along with clean water. Before my family had decided to move to Khao Yai away from the water, we had bought so much bags of rice as a surplus because we’ve predicted that price of the rice would be remarkably high after the crisis.

            During the past month, I had really wanted to help the people in need. There was a program that had opened for volunteers to participate and make EM balls to improve the water quality at flooding areas. I believe that every acts count, so my siblings and me had decided to join the program and we spend a day making them. I had thought of ways to help the people in need, and I think donation is the easiest way we could help. I would really want to donate money, clothing, and food if I had the chance to do it. I think the most helpful people in this situation were the volunteered soldiers. I really want to thank the soldiers for helping the people in need. I had watch the news about a soldier who died trying to safe an 80 year old man, but he had died in honor.

My Identity Music Video

  

     As you can see on the top, is my music video about my identity and who I am. The music video shows both my physical traits, and my personality.  As you can tell from my video, I am short, but being short doesn’t stops me from doing what I want to do. I will do whatever I want to do without caring about my height as a disadvantage. I am very athletic and I can play volleyball, basketball, and soccer. These sports are very challenging since I’m small and short, but I’m not a person who gives up things easily so that’s why I can manage to play and enjoy these sports. I consider myself as a persistent person and never give up hope.

     In the video, the category that impacts my personality the most is my friends. I believe that friends are a big influence to me, they could tell me what's good and what's bad. Friends are always there for us whenever you need them. They are someone to talk to when you have problems besides your family. From this video, you could see how the category "Friends" have pictures of me and my friends in different places, this is because we do many things together and we are a part of each others lives. But friends are not always good, because there are both good and bad friends, which depends who would you want to hang out with. I have had a bad friend before who tries to get me in trouble an always doing a bad thing, but now all my friends are good to me.
 
     In the process of making the video, I had some technical problems that kind of freaked me out. I couldn’t open the songs at first so needed to convert the music files to open on a Mac. I also had problems on my final draft of the music video because I can’t open my songs on the video. I had to put all the music back together again and re-published the movie. I felt really good after the project was due because it took me quite a long time to do this whole video and I had a lot of stress.

My Multiple Intelligences Chart

     In the first week of school, we took a Multiple Intelligences test on the Birmingham Grid for Learning website. This test shows us our own intelligences in learning. My results, as you can see, is pretty accurate for me. I can see my results more clearly on a pie chart better than a regular table. The result shows that my highest intelligence was "Body Smart." I would agree with this because I had consider myself an athletic person who would rather run around than doing something such as reading, writing, and staring at my computer and playing games. My least intelligence that my chart shows is "Word Smart." I would also agree with this because I had never really like reading. I would have trouble reading and understanding what I am actually reading, and visualizing images from words. Overall, I argree in every single part of the chart.
