The Napoleon theme park is an excellent idea that would surely have an effect on the studies of future generation. This would make others have more interest in learning about Napoleon. Organizing the theme park according to the countries and places that Napoleon battled and interact with, was very beneficial because this would clearly gives a better understanding to the kids and adults who decide to go there. I've also heard that the rides and buildings in there are named after important terms and events during that time. This would surely be a great resource to children who need to remember these terms when they study Napoleon.
Even though the theme park seems like a great idea, but it would also caused some misunderstanding to the future generation about Napoleon Bonaparte, because instead of imagining him as an important person in history, they might imagine him as a theme park.

Courage? Born with or Develop?
Is courage something you are born with or is it something that you develop over time?
I believe that courage is something that everybody has, neither you choose to express it out or keep it inside. You could see that some people are brave and confident, while others might be shy and unsocial. In my opinion, your identity would determine the types of courage you mostly express. For example, the environment and surroundings you live in, might cause an effect on the types of courage you express the most. Imagine that you are living in a place where you'd likely be attack by wild animals; as a result, you would have more confident in expressing physical courage. In contrast, you might not have the ability to express your opinions, because you never had the chance to share it out. Confidence is also something that would effect on your courage. If you have lots of confidence in yourself, you would surely express yourself out more than a person who have low self-esteem. Stepping up and challenging yourself to do something beneficial, would surely help you improve the other side of courage you rarely express.
In conclusion, I believe that courage is something you are born with and something that you could improve over time, making yourself stronger.

Trip to the Day Care center
The trip to the Day Care center on Friday the 27th was interesting and a new experience to me. Children in the day care had many different experiences from mine, which sometimes gave me a hard time to answer their questions.
After we arrived at the Day Care center, I was assigned to take care of the 5 years old kids. At first, it was really awkward because the children were learning and were shy to us. Our task was to help them with some problems that they don't understand in their activity booklet. As I started to learn more about the individual in that group, I've started to learn their name, their grades and their interests. Later on, I've learn that this group that I was assign to help was called the apple group and consist of one of the smartest one in the whole class. The children there were intelligent and creative in their own imaginations.
In that 40 minutes, while helping them with their classwork, I've received a shocking question from one of the little girl in my table. She had asked if I had a mother or not? After hearing this question I was in a dilemma, either I should be answering yes or no? Before answering I think greatly about it because I was scared that I might hurt her feeling, but finally, I decided to answer this question with 'yes' (softly) and immediately change the topic.
We also did some organizing and cleaning in the storage room. It was a big deal of hard work and from it, I've received some bruises which were mostly caused by carrying too heavy objects and dropping them on myself. However, the bruises and the pain that I got from doing this became like reminder to me, which would remind me of how much effort I put into this. Even though I felt that I'm still lacking in many parts, I was thankful that I did my best in that day and that giving that much effort was a worth it.
Note: I was greatly thankful to the three children that sat next to me on that table because they were the one who bravely stepped forward and talked to me.

Patriots or Terrorists?
Patriots or terrorists? A question that's so simple but so complicate to answer. For me, in my point of view, the answer for this question is still blurry and unclear. There is not absolute answer to this.
However, I would say that these colonist that participate in the Boston tea party should not be call terrorists. Based on what I read and discuss on the Boston tea party, the patriots were more like defending themselves and their country from getting bullied by the British (Getting bullied by the British in my sense is the British creating taxation laws on the colonists and taxing them unfairly). Calling them a terrorist was a little too intense because terrorist are fighting with revenge and they do not care for the innocent citizens. For example, the shocking terrorism that had occur in the world trade center had caused many innocent people to die or injured. The patriots are not seeking for revenge but are seeking for independence and freedom.
The reason why they start to fight back are very similar but the way they payback are different. In our modern days, I would prefer the patriots than the people who are called terrorist.

Hi students From aboard!!
HI!!! My name is Kate, from Ruamrudee International school of Thailand. I'm going to be 14 years old on March 29!!! I've just enter 8th grade on August 2011. Not long ago, we just finish the first quarter (YES!!!), but we still have 3 more to go!!
As you may know, currently, Thailand had met their worst flood in decades, making my school and many other schools extend their end of semester break. My school was suppose to originally open on the 25th of October, but due to the flood, we ended up reopening on the 24th of November (How great it is?!!!)! Apparently, the late reopen of school was a disaster!!! We have to make up for the days we lost by adding more hours to every class periods. We also have to study on some Saturday and many traditional holidays. Everyday we go home with piles of homework and projects.. It was a stressful week.
I'm looking forward to your comments and blog posts ;) Don't be afraid to ask questions, if possible I will answer them all!!!

Flood in Thailand (Innovation)
During this October Break, I was given an assignment to read an article about Thai Innovation called, Thailand floods: floating toilets, makeshift jet skis, and doggie life jackets. After reading the article, I was surprise with how we, Thai citizens, support each other and being able quickly adapt this horrifying situation. All of these inventions, that were designed to solve problems cause by the flood, are very impressive and useful for the needs.
My favorite innovation is the doggy life jackets made of empty plastic bottles. The reason why I chose this invention as my most-liked was because, it was made from recycle plastic bottle. These plastic bottles has been a great problem for a long time, becoming a great amount of waste that are nearly impossible to destroy. Reusing used material is like reducing the number of waste and space taken by used waste. Also, since the flood has came, the number of death has increase due to many problems, and one of the main problems are people drowning. Doggy life jackets are not expensive, easy to produce, and could float.
More life jackets, less people drowning, less death!!!!

Flood in Thailand
During many school holidays. A horrifying flood has overtook many regions of Thailand, causing both external an internal problems to people.
Regions where flood had pass through where left with great damages. People who live there were left without homes and many properties were damage. Domestics animals in those region's farms were drowned, causing a great amount of money that the owner put in to raising becoming a great waste. On the other hand, the people who lives in the region, where the flood did not reach yet, they became stress and over feared because of the horrifying picture and video of the flood in the news. The flood is also causing food storage and other needs product of be out. Some of the products are predict to be still out of storage, even after the flood..
When this flood situation is over, I think that many people would have no work, this is because many factories or businesses were badly damage and could not be fix, so they have to close down, and leaving workers out of work. Also, I think that there will be a drought after a few month when the flood is over. The reason why there would be a drought is because, now they are pouring out all the water without saving it for future use.
I felt very sorry for the people that were victims of the flood. I wish for your safety. Stay strong!!!
