- Me first. - Okay, you first.
Right now, I'm in grade 8.
I'm in grade 2.
I'm in grade 5.
I'm in grade 9 right now, and I've been here since grade 1.
My favorite subject would be science.
My favorite subject is arts.
We learn coding and typing. It helps us to type faster.
The school began because parents in Korat
were looking for an international school
that could help their children with English primarily.
And they knew about the Seventh-day Adventist system,
so they came and asked us to start a school here in Korat.
We started with 16 children. We only had these two classrooms here.
This school is here to let them know about Jesus Christ.
One thing that really impressed me
about the students is that they were so eager to learn.
Not only English but they were so eager to learn so many things,
especially the Bible.
Every day, they demand me to tell them stories about the Bible.
This school teaches the Bible, and I like the Bible.
I came to know more about Jesus,
and then I started to believe in Jesus.
I have learned many things.
We always read the Bible in the morning and pray to him.
As a teacher, I’m trying my best to be a good example.
So my contribution to that is introducing God to this young generation,
young leaders of Thailand.
My hope and prayer
is that they will not forget what they learned,
and wherever they will go later,
they always remember Jesus and accept Jesus in their hearts.
I like the whole school, everything, everything we do here.
This school might be small, but everyone here is friends,
and we are all friends with each other.
So it's like a nice small community.
We play together; we help each other.
And be kind and share.
Because the parents feel we are giving their children values,
working hard to build good character for them,
I would ask for the world community or the church community
to pray that those values will be very effective
and that they will be of a tremendous benefit to the Thai community.
My daughter is more of a leader than before.
Now she can explain herself. She can do more than before.
I feel like I’ve become more responsible.
This school is pretty small, so I want a bigger school
so that we can have places to play and study.
We are growing, and it’s really not enough now.
We are struggling.
Right now, we’re sharing a classroom with the teachers.
The idea of an international school in Thailand
is that it is a very nice place for students to go.
The facilities are nice.
Our parents understand that we teach good values,
but when their friends look at our school, they see something
that is not representative of an international school.
Some of them don’t want to send their children to our school
because of the facilities not being representative.
We would like a new facility because we are getting bigger,
and we need some place to hold ourselves.
I feel very happy that we will get a new building.
We will have more for supporting our school.
Not only to support the school.
If we support the school, it means we are supporting the children.
AIMS Korat is very special.
I know that God started this school.
And I believe he handpicked each student to be here,
and he wants them saved.
So for me, until Jesus comes, this will continue.
I'm sorry.
I like this school; I will never move away.
I will never go to another school.
