On Friday the 27th, I went to an advisement trip to Pattaya. There are 3 separated places for 8th grade students to go, the daycare, the children's village, and the blind school. For me, I got to go to the daycare. The daycare is at Father Ray's Foundation where it is similar to an orphanage. At the daycare, we broke off into 3 groups to play with the kids, organized the stock, and clean the daycare and it will change every 40 minutes so everybody had the chance to do it. At first, I got to play with the kids. We separated into 2 groups to play with 3 years old kids and 5-6 years old kids. I chose to play with the 3 years old kids. We helped feed them and we also played with them at the playground. The other group learned writing alphabets with the older kids. Later, we had to go help arrange the stock for them and it was very tiring and hot. I think by doing this is a great example of caring citizen. We played with the kids so they are happy and cheerful because they came from the poor. I feel sad for them because they are separated from their parents and they need a lot of love. I think that we should do a lot of services so we can lend them a hand and make them feel delighted. When we first came, we were very awkward with the kids, but later we felt bonded and comfortable and I really enjoyed it!

Advisement Trip!
On Friday the 27th, I went to an advisement trip to Pattaya. There are 3 separated places for 8th grade students to go, the daycare, the children's village, and the blind school.

Patriots VS Terrorists
Last class, we had a socratic seminar about the boston tea party. The colonists disguised as mohawk indians and went onto the ship to destroy the most valuable tea of the british. They wanted to protest although in the end, it didn't make the british change their mind. In my opinion, I think the suitable term to describe them would be "patriots" because the colonists were just fighting for their independence. They couldn't live with all the high tax anymore. They disliked that they needed to buy goods only from the mother country. This kind of protesting event is also similar to the news about the citizens complaining to Syria's President, Bashar al-Assad in 2011. Bashar al-Assad made cruel laws such as getting punishing/torture/kill if they go against the government. The Arabs couldn't agree with this harsh law and they wanted there independence so a huge amount of Arabs protested about this. Therefore, I think the colonists would be called patriots because they just wanted more rights and the boston tea party didn't effect a lot to the British. They love their country and they want to have freedom.
