It was my first time studying at Saipanyarangsit (SPR) School. To be honest, I had high hopes for my new life, new teachers, and new friends—but I was also very nervous. I felt shy talking to others, even to my very first teacher in my very first period.
That first class was Science, and my teacher was Teacher Patricia Cario (Trisha). She was a very kind person who always translated English vocabulary into Thai to help students understand. Sadly, she had to leave the next semester because of her father, and I still miss her.
After that, we had some new teachers, like Teacher Rey Arbolonio, who was a good teacher but didn’t stay long. Then came Teacher Fanny Pedida, Jr. (JR), my last Science teacher in Mathayom 1 (Grade 7). He was a chill guy and also very good at teaching. Even though the beginning felt uncertain, it slowly became the start of something meaningful.
Learning Math with Confidence: Teacher Casey and Teacher Afton
My first Math teacher was Teacher Casey Roof. The first time I saw him, I thought he was very good-looking and confident. He always started class with a game, like drawing doodles and exchanging them with seatmates. He always answered my questions patiently and kindly, without any annoyance. Because of him, I still remember the Pythagorean theorem clearly—he made formulas easy to understand and remember. He taught me for two years in Mathayom 1.
Now in Mathayom 3 (Grade 9), I’m learning with Teacher Afton Murillo, who is also very kind and calm with students. He helps us discuss things we don’t understand or forget, manages worksheets clearly, and explains exam scores and assignments step by step. His reviews in class help me even more than my own self-review.
Understanding Computers Step by Step with Teacher Neil
Next is my Computer Teacher, Neil Rusia. He has been teaching me from Mathayom 1 to 3 (Grade 7 to 9). He is very good at teaching computer lessons and is also very kind. I have to admit that Computer is a complicated subject for me, but Teacher Neil always teaches patiently.
He asks questions that help us remember codes and gives examples on how to use them. Even when our code doesn’t run correctly, he still reads it carefully and gives us some points for effort. Every project he assigns helps me understand the lesson better and improve step by step. He is genuinely a caring teacher.
Feeling Brave to Speak English with Teacher Andy
My kindest English teacher is Teacher Andy Maclean. I can honestly say he is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. I really like how patiently and clearly he answers student questions—it always makes my confusion disappear. He helps students earn extra points through in-class games, making learning more fun.
Even though he can speak Thai, he doesn’t use it in English class, but he still tries to understand students when they struggle to express themselves. Not only him, but many BFITS teachers try to understand what students mean, even when we make mistakes. That makes me feel confident and brave enough to speak English.
Grammar, Creativity, and Challenges with Teacher Josh and Teacher Anthony
Another English teacher I really appreciate is Teacher Joshua Johnson. He always answers my grammar questions and patiently explains vocabulary. He is funny, easy to talk to, and uses examples and drawings to help students better understand.
If I had to choose the most talented teacher, it would be Teacher Anthony Ferrer. At first, I thought he was quiet and strict, but he is actually very funny and understanding. He answers students’ questions so easily, as if everything is simple for him.
My friends and I often talk with him about studies and other topics, and he always gives us challenging tests that make us search for new knowledge. It feels like exploring a new world. He really makes us think outside the box.
A Science Teacher Who Made Learning Feel Kind: Teacher Ada
My last and most loved teacher is Teacher Ada Mangaoang, one of my Science teachers in Mathayon 2 (Grade 8). I really liked her teaching style—it was easy to understand and focused on important ideas. Science can be tough because things around us constantly change and react, but she helped us understand it better than textbooks ever could. She is kind, funny, and caring.
A Thank You to the Teachers Who Shaped My Journey
Lastly, I want to say thank you to all my teachers for teaching me, my classmates, and every student. You are all amazing teachers, and I truly appreciate being one of your students.
I will try my best to use what I’ve learned and make you all proud. Thank you for being such an essential part of my journey.
