Moment In Life Essay, Research Paper

I was born on 6 September 1980 in Bangkok, Thailand. The first two

people that can describe me the best are my father and my mother. They

told me that the first time they saw me they had the happiest time in

their lives because I am the first son of them. They said that I was a

curious and mischievous boy.

When I was six years old, I entered Chulalongkorn University

Demonstration school. In this school I was taught to be polite,

responsible and loved in learning. I have made many friends in this

school and I have had many experiences in this school, too. I was in a

student council where I learnt how to work in a group in a democratic

way. I was in a volleyball team. I got the certificate of merit from

this school from 1992 to 1996. When I was in grade 11, I decided to go

to study aboard because I think that now we live in a globalization and

we all need to know other people in other countries in different culture

so that we can help one another in the future. My mother and my father

agree with me so they asked my aunt that which school in the United

States is appropriate for me. My aunt told me that Cranbrook school is a

good school in Michigan then I applied for Cranbrook. When I was

accepted I am so glad because I can be near and take care of my sister

who is now studying civil engineering in the University of Michigan

attaining her Ph.D. Before I came here, I promise my mother and my

father that I will never make them disappointed. Now I am in Cranbrook

school, I have made many friends and I gained more experiences. I am the

Residential Advisor of the dorm and also one of the leader in World

Club. I am so happy to be here. In the future I want to be an engineer

like my father and my sister so that I can help my father in his

engineering company.

I want to be a civil engineer because I like Calculus, Physic,

Environmental Science, drawing and when I was young I always saw my

father, working on his table, calculating his plan which was my first

impression with engineering. Now it is time for me to go for a higher

education. I choose to apply for University of Michigan because I think

that it is the most appropriated school for me; I can take care of my

sister and she can help teaching me when I do not understand something

in the class. I know that U of M is a terrific school of engineering. My

sister tells me that U of M is a wonderful school for her and she is so

proud of being a student in U of M. Now it is time for me to get that

pride and feel it in the same way as my sister does. If I compared

myself now, I would be like a boat that is near the shore waiting for

someone to pull me up. And I know for sure that one should be the

University of Michigan.
