Tong's Bio

Hey! I’m Tong (Matichon Rattanacharoen). I know my real name is really hard to pronounce. It doesn’t matter anyway. I’m from Thailand and I’m eighteen years old.

Alright, I have been here almost three months and learned a lot of English. My host family is very nice. They help me about English so much.

About my school, I am studying in Palmetto High School. That is a big school and they have 3,800 students. I think that's too much but I have fun anyway. I got a lot of friends, especially Spanish friends. So I knew a little bit Spanish even though I want to learn just English.

December 30 Journal

Hi I’m Tong. I have been here for almost five months I think. I had the Christmas already, and that was awesome. That was the first Christmas in my life because I am Buddhist and new year is coming. That will be a great time.

In December I went to the Disney. We spent all one day in each kingdom and had fun with my exchange student friends.

CHRISTMAS

I went shopping before Christmas one day. That was the first Christmas in my life and that was awesome. We bought a Christmas tree and decorated it. In the Christmas day, we exchanged a present to one another and we had Santa (my host mom). I got jeans, shirt. etc., and at night, we had a good diner in our home.

DISNEY WORLD IN ORLANDO

In December we (exchange students) went to the Disney world in Orlando with Rotary. That was awesome also. I like magic kingdom and all star. I had fun with roller coaster and hang out with my friends. That was my first time in Disney. And it was Amazing. I want to say THANK YOU to Rotary.
