Stephen Curry
By Jirapol Kim
Wardell Stephen Curry II (as everyone calls
Stephen Curry), a professional American basketball
player, was born in Akron, Ohio, USA on March 14,
1998. He has one brother and sister, Seth and Sydel
Curry. He grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina. Dell
Curry, his dad, was a player before. Stephen Curry
started playing basketball by participating his father’s
warm up.
He is 6 feet 3 inches tall (190.5 cm) actually before
the draft his height was just 6 feet 3 inches in shoes but
just 6 feet 2 inches without any shoes. He’s a very
determined person because he went to the school that
wasn’t known for basketball but he still got to NBA and
another thing is his height, 6 feet 3 inches might be
really tall for normal people but in the court, he might
be the shortest player. He also suffered from ankle and
knee injuries, once he was limited to play in the game
by those injuries.
His playing style is like rushing water. He always
finds some space even just a little space in the court to
go there and shoots for points (especially 3 points),
he's good at fast breaks (in basketball means run
quickly to the opponent's hoop and make the points)
and he always steals the ball from the big guys
(according to his height, it's easy for him to steal ball
from others which are mostly the big guys).
“If you don’t fall how are you going to know what
getting up is like” said by Stephen Curry a
professional American basketball player. After I read
this quote, it will be my inspiration for playing and
practicing basketball. It lets me know that lose or not
being chosen in the team is okay if I can accept and
use it as the motivation for getting up, I will be really
proud of myself when I reach that point.

Street
Racers
By Jirapol Kim
Have you ever heard some motorcycle noises at
night? If those sounds don’t come from normal street
cars, then those noises probably come from the
motorcycles of youth gangs. They are gangs of
teenagers who like to race at night. Sometimes, they
didn’t know that they are disturbing others. This can be
the cause of fatal accident from youth gangs.
Those teenagers not only like to race but also like
to drive very fast and that will become a cause of
accidents. According to news agency in Thailand 2017,
it said that around 5000 people died from motorcycle
accident per year which became the first place in the
world. But that is not the point, the point is those
people who died from motorcycle accident their age
range was from 10-19 years. Actually, they do not only
disturb others but also hurt themselves. Disturbances
to others are the noises and sometimes they make the
traffic jam. Those are just small problems compared to
problems that will happen to themselves. When they
ride or race, they have their own freedom but it can be
a way to very big problems such as drugs, violence,
crime and unprotected sex. Then, who will be really
sad or responsible for those problems? of course, their
parents. They will be very sad if they know that their
children go out and do bad things. According to an
article by Thaivisa, it says that most parents think that
their children will ride motorcycle to school or do
something useful but motorcycle will lead children to a
new world where they can do whatever they want.
In an article by Thaivisa, it says that everyone
just gives attention to alcohol tax or cigarettes. No one
cares about selling motorcycles which let children buy
them easily. Motorcycles can lead children to other big
problems like crime and violence because they have
freedom and they can do whatever they want.

My unforgettable
experience
By Jirapol Kim
It happened when I was in
Prathom 6. I never thought that the
doctor needed to suture my
wound by stitching at my private
organ. It was one of the
experiences that I will tell my
children because I will never
forget this experience.
It happened when I went to
Phuttamonthon for riding a bicycle
with my cousin and my family.
Before I went there, my cousin was
already there so when I reached
the place, I was so excited then. I
rode very quickly but my cousin
was riding after me and he tried to
ride ahead of me but there was a
turning point and he turned left
which already ahead of me. Then I
stepped on the brakes really hard
and I was thrown out of my
bicycle. I really got hurt that time
and someone said checked your
private organ. Then I just did what
that guy said and I saw blood. So I
cried very hard then my parents
came and brought me to the
hospital. Along the way to the
hospital, they said that I didn’t
need stitches I just believed them
even my private organ was
bloody. When I reached the
hospital, I cried again but the
doctor stitched my wound and
said that I needed to rest for one
month. After that, I just stayed at
home and slept on the bed most of
the day. I couldn’t move much
because it would hurt my wound
and it would take a longer time to
recover. At that time, I didn’t take
a bath. I just cleaned my body with
a wet towel and that was really
difficult for me to use the toilet. I
needed to be very careful and
slowly walked out or in the toilet.
When I slept, it was also difficult
because I needed to sleep on my
back.
After that situation happened, I
get very scared every time I ride a
bicycle. I didn’t dare to ride very
fast and I never race with my
cousin anymore. I couldn’t forget
this experience.

Have you lost something and
couldn’t get it back? Losing
something must be really
annoying especially when it’s
something you need at that time.
This problem may happen to
anyone. It seems to be a small
problem but if you spend a lot of
time finding it, it must turn to be a
really big problem.
This problem mostly
happens by your own
forgetfulness or you just do other
things and ignore the thing you
need to keep. You can solve this
problem by putting some types of
thing into the same spot (that spot
should be easily seen for you) like
phones and keys or put all the
remotes into the same tray that
will help you find things easily.
This will not only help you find
things easier but also makes you a
more disciplined person. If you
have no idea where to find your
lost thing, you should begin from
the spot that you always keep that
9
thing but if you have several spots
to keep your things so you just
carefully find that thing in
all those spots.
Anyway, don’t panic, breathe and
concentrate then you should
calmly find that thing because if
you just throw things around even
you find it but you
also need to come back and keep
all the things you threw around.
And another way is to let your
friend or family help you.
Sometimes, you just try to find in
many spots but it may be in a
really simple spot like in your
pocket or bag. But if you lose your
things outside like school or some
department stores, you should go
and check at lost & found areas.
Actually, this problem happens
because of your own mind. You
can’t focus on two things in the
same time like when you are
walking into a coffee shop and
also holding many shopping bags.
You order coffee then grab it and
walk out of the shop without your
bags because you just focused on
coffee that you want and may
forget everything else.
Next time if you lose your
things, stay calm, review your
actions and calmly search it in all
possible places.

 Students shouldn’t change back to school

uniform after P.E. class.

By Jirapol Kim

Do you know why do you need to bring a P.E. uniform to change at school? of course, for your P.E class and you
will need to change it back after the class. And you can’t avoid that problem by just wearing your everyday outfit to
P.E class because P.E uniform will give you a better movement or performance. But is it better if you can wear your
P.E uniform all day (only the day that you have class). I agree that students shouldn’t change back to school uniform
after P.E class because it wastes class time and it can make students get in class late.

In an article by Onlineclothingpool (2015), it said that P.E uniform both had advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages were to let the instructors know that their students were ready for class and also gave students more
discipline. Disadvantages were the price because the uniform had to be bought and the school P.E uniform might
dissatisfy some students that wanted to choose their own outfit for P.E class. But the purpose of this article is not to say
about advantages and disadvantages it will talk about when students finish P.E class they need to change back to
school uniform which can give students disadvantages. The first reason why students should not change back to school
uniform is about class time, it wastes class time. Journal of Physical Education (2013) has similar view that changing to
back from P.E uniform is wasting time because teacher will let students leave class early and go change which will be
around six minutes and students get into P.E class 2 time per week which means students will lose their time 12 minutes
per week and that really affects much in class.

A Second reason is it can make students get in class late. In an article by Journal of Physical Education (2013), it
said that students will waste time changing uniform and that can be the cause of late in the next class. For example, at
my school MUIDS, when the P.E class ends everyone will quickly run and go change then immediately run to next
class but someone wants to drink more water or rest more from tiredness of physical activity in the class if they can do
that is will be okay but they can’t because they need to get into next class in time unless they will be marked late in
that subject. But this problem won’t occur if they don’t need to change back to school uniform, they will have time to
cool down or go find something to drink because they don’t need to rush to the next class.

If this is agreed by everyone, all students will get many benefits and also their teachers. Students benefits are
they don’t need to carry another bag which contains their P.E uniforms, they will have more time in class and they will
rarely get late to next class. Teachers benefits are they can teach more and they don’t need to worry much about the
class time.
