Flood Crisis

It has been flooding very seriously in Thailand right now or what people call "Flood Crisis".  Many types of damages has been formed; speaking seriously it does affect the economy of the country.  28 of the provinces are affected, roughly about 4 million acres of the land.  12.5% of the rice paddies have been damaged, leading to shortage of rice.  Not only are we short of rice, we are also short of water, food (mainly instant food) and sand bags as well.  Looking at the people as a whole, they have suffered from many types of diseases that comes with flood water; not only do they suffer from diseases, they suffer from stress as well.  Roughly about 10,938 businesses were affected and forced to halt their business.  This flooding case is the biggest case in Thailand for over 80 years.The flood is very serious therefore many people had to evacuate to somewhere safter, including me.  My house area, Don meaung is flooding loads therefore I was forced to evacuate like the rest of the people.  I have evacuated to Hua Hin, where it is safe and certainly dry.  Its not easy here though.  Loads of people have decided that Hua Hin was their destination for evacuation as well so the traffic is very heavy and water in super markets here have also disappeared.  This flood crisis is very scary and I hope it goes away soon.

Identity

The fact of being who or what a person or thing is, this is the definition of identity according to the dictionary but in my opinion, identity simply tells you who you are and how you are different from others.  Identity plays a very important role in life especially in middle school.  In middle school, everyone starts to change and become more mature; their new found personality then have given their new identity. 

In middle school, people will start to judge each other by their looks.  Looks have become a really important part in life, it determines all about impressions and whether or not people want to befriend you.  Speaking frankly, yes, looks are important but I don’t think it should determine who or who not to befriend.  You cannot judge a person’s identity by looking at their looks; looks are just the outer appearance, the important thing is inside, who you actually are.  Don’t judge a book by its cover.
