Journal Entry # 3


Write a paragraph about a person who has made a difference.


Almost Thai people know about King of Thailand made a difference. His name is Bhumibol Adulyadeej. He did a lot of projects to help Thai people. Almost all of the projects made a difference in the rural areas. Many rural areas of Thailand have floods so transportation was a problem. He created a project to help and keep a lot of water by designing the shape of the embankment like a monkey cheek. So it can keep more water now and has been spread around Thailand. In 2000, Thailand had a problem with its economy. He thought of a new theory to help people during a period of down economy. It is called "self-sufficiency economy". It is about using money and everything in your lives balance with your income. For instance, your revenue is $100 so you can spend money $25 and keep $75 for other things. You shouldn’t buy expensive shirt because you can wear simple shirt. You can grow simple vegetables. It is cheaper than buying it at a supermarket. He is a leader to do it. After that Thai people bring his theory to adjust with their lives. In conclusion, he has a lot of missions made difference in country. Thailand could be passed a calamity by him.

I do know a little bit about the king. I have been to Thailand three times. I know the Thai people really love and respect their king. Before you watch a movie in the theater, you have to stand for a brief presentation about the king. And I know he like photography. It shows him holding a camera in many of his pictures.
