Information regarding university education for Sirintorn Chaiwongthon (Fon)

Personal Statement

My nickname is Namfon, in English it means rain. But i don't like it, so my friends call me Fon. My real name is Sirintorn Chaiwongthon, I am 18 years old and I study the Science - Mathematics program at Muang Thalang School in Phuket.

I have three siblings, one older half brother, one younger brother and one little sister. When I was a little child, I lived with my parents and my younger siblings and we loved each other a lot, my half brother has lived with my Grandmother since birth. My parents separated when I was 11 years old and I and my two younger siblings had to move to live with my aunt as my mother had to work. We lived with my aunt for almost one year but my aunt could not take care of us as she had to take care of her own family so I was the one who raised my 2 younger siblings, Kan and Bai-teiy, and had to leave school for one year. I missed school life and friends very much.

After one year, my aunt brought me and my younger siblings to live with Happy child home, and I got the opportunity to study again, meet new friends and get a good life. I have never felt embarrassed for living at Happy child home.I think I'm very lucky to have this opportunity. Biology is my favorit subject. I try to study well and get good grades for the future. I am a quite outgoing person. At school, I am like a leader of my friends. As an outgoing person, I like to be a part of school activities even though that just studying is already very demanding. I like to find new experiences for myself that is why I take part in almost every activity in school. I keep all the activities that I do in my portfolio for the future.

Happy child home is like my magic home. Here they teach me to love myself and help others. They teach me to be a good person, push me to have a good future and are ready to help me anytime. They are kind people and people I love very much. I always promised myself that I should go to university. And I believe in the people who help me and myself.

My ultimate dream is to help others as a doctor or as a nurse. And I will apply for both programs, because in the end, both careers are helping people. And I have to keep following this dream. Doctor of Medicine M.D is available at 5 different universities
