Challenge 5: One that affects millions


#22 Tell us about one of the best conversations you've had. (Stanford/ 93)

Making conversations is a way of communication. It can be the source of getting a point across or plainly just for entertainment. As for me, making conversations with my father is always either about Thai’s politics or my future; mostly politics. There is much to go on and on about Thai politics. Just trying to explain It to someone from outside the country will probably take around two days at least, that is how me and my father can just keep going on about it for about three years now.

One day, in those three years, after my family and I finished eating our lunch, my dad started to talk about what would happen to Thailand when the angels take the King with them. We both agreed on the exact same thing; disaster. However, both of us were amazed at how one death can affect the whole nation; how some German man got arrested just because of one question about the King’s name being long; how just a word ‘peace’ from his mouth stops the riot.

It is truly amazing when a single person can affect millions of people (in a positive way). Both my father and I hope and promised on the same dining table that we sit everyday, that one day we can become a great person that will affect even one life in a positive way. I think my dad has done his promise by affecting me and now it is my turn to play my part.

  1. Interesting and nicely written, but for an essay like this, provide more details, perhaps some actual dialogue.
