I
was
six,
people
were
protesting
in
my
country.
It
was
the
first
time
I
was
introduced
to
politics
because
of
my
curiosity
as
a
child.
In
my
family,
where
my
parents
were
both
former
activists,
my
interested
in
society
and
politics
was
accumulated
since
I
was
young
through
our
conversation.
Growing
up
observing
the
society
I
live
in,
I
had
realised
that
there
are
much
more
issues
than
I
had
ever
imagined.
Nevertheless,
there
was
not
once
has
I
lost
faith
in
the
possibility
of
positive
change.
My
faith
becomes
the
motivation
for
me
to
seek
out
for
the
better
solution,
the
solution
that
not
only
solved
the
issue
confronting
but
also
able
to
create
the
better
society.
I
believe
that
it
all
starts
from
understanding
various
aspects
of
the
society.
And
I
along
with
that
thought
I
dont
think
that
I
could
possibly
understand
the
society
I
am
living
in
without
the
understanding
of
philosophy,
politics
or,
economics;
the
three
fields
I
have
been
passionate
about.
As
humanity
developed,
these
three
field
have
become
more
and
more
overlap.
I
have
come
to
this
realization
of
this
truth
when
I
was
doing
my
self-directed
project
on
Political
Philosophy
in
grade
10.
I
have
noticed
that
as
humans
started
to
gather
up,
besides
from
philosophy
questions
on
natural
disasters,
they
began
to
question
on
how
they
should
be
governed.
There
are
various
ideas
on
the
ideal
state,
considering
the
leaders
traits,
source
of
authority,
freedom
of
the
citizens.
And
on
later
philosophy
on
ideal
state,
human
began
to
take
economy
in
consideration,
as
government
not
only
responsible
for
governing
but
also
distributing
resources.
This
project
has
convinced
me
to
believe
that
they
are
all
related
and
necessary
for
me
to
understand.
Getting
to
know
the
thought
of
political
philosopher
in
the
past
not
only
deepened
my
interest
and
challenged
my
old
thoughts
but
it
also
opened
up
my
eyes
to
the
various
type
of
political
regimes
with
I
aim
to
study
in
more
depth
next
academic
year.
Besides from the class projects, I also enjoy getting my thought challenged with
extra-curriculum activities. I have opportunities to join numbers of Model United Nations
conferences, which each gave me different issues and stances. It cultivates me to be more
open-minded person who willing to try understanding different approaches. Also, I have
been participating in the Debate Society at my school and attending few Competitions where
I acquired the opportunity to practice using logic and constructing arguments. I also like to
engage and voice my opinion on the issues that are needed to be addressed around the
world. I was lucky enough to earn an opportunity to deliver a speech on the International
Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, at the United Nations Economic and Social
Commission for Asia and the Pacific office. By being aware of the struggle of the
Palestinians and also people around the world are facing, I started to look outside of
Thailand and wish to develop global society. And in order to reach my goal, there are
essential skills and knowledge I need to gain.
Studying PPE will further my knowledge, develop my thinking process and also my
skills. In the future, I aim to work in social science field where I get the opportunity to solve
the issues and in the same time further develop the society. I believe that, by having the
knowledge of philosophy, politics and economics, I will be able to look at the society from the
diverse perspectives and have the better understanding of it thus will eventually lead to the
better development.
