It has already been 10 months since the last day I left from Thailand to the United States. Time goes so fast that I just can't believe my time in the States will end so soon. This place gives me so much memories that I can't count them all. I have seen new numerous things and have got to know a lot of people and have met new friends. I have been struggling and have been enjoyed the year, which I learn to handle the problems from the obstacles I have faced, and swallow the joy I have got through the year.

If I hadn't decided to be an exchange student, all these experiences wouldn't have happened. Thank you to AFS to give such a wonderful opportunity for me to be able to touch the "other side" of the world.

Thank you to my host family for taking care of me a whole year. You gave me so much that I don't need to explain how thankful I am. I love you guys very much. I will miss you and the cats, which are the best pet I've ever known.

Thank you my good friends for being nice to me and make me meet new things. You guys help me a lot this year. I truely have fun with you guys and will miss so much. I also will miss school, the place that is full of fun and new people.

I am happy that I come here this year. It's going to be sad to say goodbye and leave. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to coming back to visit here.

Thank you
Sincerely
Pheerawat Ratnitisakul (Dunn or Tle)
