Until the school bell rings, at about 3:00 p.m., she then gets ready to go to clean the
classrooms after all of the students have gone home. But if there are still some students inside
the classroom, she may enter the room to ask them whether she can clean the room, otherwise
she might just have to wait outside until all of them are gone.
Almost at the end of my interview, I asked her if she ever feel tired and like to give up, the
only thing she said was “never give up! SUSU!” She said that we all need to fight, be patient, and
never give up. Pa Nantha
Prommungkul with the age of 58
years still works hard like this
everyday and it is not for herself but
her mother. The cleaners can be
more admirable than just the
cleanliness she keeps. Pa Nantha
Prommunkul has proven it. She has
become more than a cleaner, she
lives her life in taking care of her
mother. The last question, I asked Pa
Nantha Prommongkul about her
future plan and she said “Nothing
much, I will continue working here,
playing a little part in grooming good
and well educated future adults. The students and teachers here at MUIDS are adorable.”

Training to be a reserve officer or soldier is very common for all high school
students in Thailand. The most frightening and special one among all of the military
teachers that give us the lessons, has furious speaking style with his scary face giving
him ability to totally control all the students in the training.
It is a little bit annoying to meet this teacher but we respect this teacher so
much because he always looks after us carefully. He is very strong and hard working
teacher in our Reserve Officer Training Cop.

of accessing your mind is to help you to
get to that point where you are still

accessing the mind, you may have
many emotions such as sad, happy,
excited, etc. You must accept these
feelings to acknowledge the problems
and then you can do much more
things later to surpass and adapt to the
changes so we can analyze that
accessing the mind has many impacts.
