My internship at this primary school started on January 29, 2025, and ended on February 21, 2025. The school community, including teachers and students, warmly welcomed me as a part of their team. Thanks to everyone, I truly felt at home. I never imagined I could find such a comfortable place. I think I have experienced one of the three luckiest moments of my entire life.

On the morning of January 30, Ajarn Palida, my co-teacher, introduced me to the students during homeroom. After I spoke a few words in English and Japanese, she explained in both Thai and English so everyone could understand. Many students greeted me in Japanese, saying phrases like 'Ohayou gozaimasu' (Good morning) and 'Konnichiwa' (Hello). Additionally, some students learned words like 'Kirei' (Beautiful) and 'Mata ashita' (See you tomorrow). They made me feel welcome the whole time.
Teachers were also very friendly and caring. When I saw a teacher, I greeted them by bringing my hands together in front of my body and saying Sawadee (Hello and goodbye in Thai).
Everyone was cheerful and kind.
