Flooding in Thailand

Flooding in Thailand have been causing problems for us. Many people have been evacuated from the dangerous zones but some people still need some help. Thailand is not yet prepared for this sudden flood.  I've seen the news and they said that 381 people died and 2 are missing. 63 cities in Thailand are affected and 37 cities are being helped. It also affects our economy because eggs, rice, etc are getting more expensive and companies cannot give out there products because of the flood. Due to flooding, all the schools are also closed and we've been getting a whole lot of online homework. Some of my friends and relatives are also affected by this. For me, I live in Perfect Place in Minburi and there is no flooding yet but for safety, my family moved up some furnitures upstairs and bought a lot of food just in case. I feel really bad for the people who are effected because some people are trapped in their house and some people don't have any food to eat.  Many people who are effected decided to go to Pattaya and Huahin causing a lot of traffic near that road. My sister also went to the Red Cross to help package the food to donate for the victims. I hope that the flood will disappear sooner or later and for the people who are already flooded, don't give up! We are always here to support you and help you. :)

Identity


Everyone is different and unique from others such as their views, feelings, characters, personality etc. I have a very strange personality. I am sometimes moody and not confident but sometimes I just go crazy and wild. People may not be so proud of their identity so they want to blend it with others by changing how they look, what they like, etc to fit in. But no matter how you change, your real behavior or actions would still be the same in the inside. For example, as you have read in the "My Name" writing I wrote, I had an uncommon name which makes me feel unconfident so I wanted to change to Salisa. Although I changed to use my first name, it doesn't mean that my character would change, it would still be the same. Identity is very important because it is who you are. You should always be proud of yourself and feel special for what you have. :)
