Mr. Voraputt Pooripanyawanich (Pat)

Sarasas Ektra School, batch 10 (KG. 3 – Yr.12)

   Education :

       • Bachelor of Arts in Western music, Faculty of Arts, Chulalongkorn University (First class honors)
       • Master of Arts in Western music, Faculty of Arts, Chulalongkorn University

   Working History :

       Currently music teacher in Secondary Department, Sarasas Ektra School

   Feelings about Ektra :

       I am impressed by the teachers who support the playing of music, which is what I like, playing music with the Symphonic band with friends, brothers, and sisters at school. In addition the school also encourages all students to play at least one instrument and sends them to external competitions, enabling them to develop their potential and enhance their experiences.

       As for teaching English, implementation is by communicating with foreign teachers every day and with Thai teachers teaching about grammar. It is a very good experience and helps me to understand English both reading, writing, listening and speaking well.

   Awards and prizes when studying at Ektra :

       • Fourth runner up at the Asian Symphonic Band Competition in 2007
       • First runner up at the Asian Symphonic Band Competition in 2008
       • Winner of Thailand International Wind Ensemble Competition in 2009

       I had the opportunity to return to work at Ektra where I had studied for 13 years, seeing the perspective from the time of being a student, the difficulty, the attention of teachers towards students and knowing that being a teacher is not easy work. One needs to have a lot of responsibility in order to be a good example for students. In addition, I feel proud to see the students I teach develop more skills and grow up in a good way.

   Ideas that would like to give to young students :

       I would like everyone to make their time in school to be worthwhile. Time goes faster than you think. Do not rush to be an adult or hurry to finish school but always use the time well, whether it is studying or doing various activities. Even if you missed you can modify and, trying to find yourself, know what you like and what you are good at in order to be able to achieve your dreams.
