WELCOME,THECLASSOF2020!

BYTAURAKUPPAPUTTHANGKUL(PINK) Welcome to high school, Class of 2020! Some of you might feel scared, but most of you must feel lost. You don?t know what to expect for the next four years of your lives. Here are some important things you would need to know: Your Grades DO Matter: Freshman year is supposed to be the time of adapting to new environments, but it is also the time to really start to pay attention to your grades. Your GPA is very important, since it?s one of the major things universities and colleges look at when you apply to their schools. It would be best to maintain your grades since the beginning of high school, since it could really affect your cumulative GPA. If you struggle during the first year or two of high school, but manage to increase your grade later in your high school years, it will look better than starting off great but slipping off through the last years of high school. Improvement is key, so work hard. Your midterm and final exams are also important since they are worth 20% of your semester grade. It could benefit you or harm you greatly. Your grades are really crucial, but living a well-balanced life is more important. Do take a break when you need to. Relax a little!

Manage/Organize your time: Time is limited. Don?t ?wait for the right moment,? since this is the moment. Time is very precious. Make a list of what you plan to do and break out of your shell to pursue your dreams and passions. Don?t waste your time; you?ll regret it later.

Teachers/Upperclassmen: Don?t be afraid to talk to teachers or upperclassmen. If you have any questions, ask. If there?s any problem, seek help. They?ve been in your position before; they understand how you feel. You will also most likely make some new, great friends!

Get Involved in Clubs and Extracurricular Activities: A good way to present your talents or to truly discover something you are passionate about is to join clubs or sports teams. Not only will it look good on your transcript, but you will also get to meet new people and expand your social circle. If you don?t like anything in particular, try different activities that the school provides. You might end up loving it, but remember to stay committed!

Universities/Colleges: Don?t stress about universities/colleges just yet. It?s good to plan ahead, but you?ve still got plenty of time. Use your first two years of high school to experience a broad range of interests before deciding which path you would want to take in the future.

Plagiarism: Plagiarism -- taking someone else?s words or ideas and represents it as your own. Plagiarizing is a big issue. There will definitely be consequences if you are caught plagiarizing, especially in college, where you could get expelled. You have your high school years to practice and learn the proper ways to cite and avoid getting trouble for plagiarizing. If you are struggling or are having any difficulties, ask your teachers; they?ll be happy to help you.

AP Courses: For those who don?t know what AP stands for: AP stands for Advanced Placement. It?s basically a university/college level class taught in high school. At the end of the year, you will take the AP exam, which student services will give you the details about later. AP Courses will save you time and money since you will receive college credit if you pass the exam. It?s a challenging course, but I really recommend you to take it. It?ll be worth it, I promise!

NEWUNIFORM BYEMMACHEN How important is a uniform? How many times do you wear your uniform in a week? Most of the student will answer five days in one week, which is about 71% in a week. The uniform represents the spirit of the school, so it is very important to have a nice looking uniform. And our school, is having a new uniform!

In the past few years, our school has had the idea of changing the uniform, but unfortunately the result didn?t go well. Many people have been complaining about: 1. The skirt being similar to some of the Thai schools 2. The size alway being incompatible 3. The uniform not representing our school much and not having characteristics of the school 4. The uniform being uncomfortable when you are wearing it According to the survey, 18.2% of the students dislike the current uniform, and 6.1% of the student strongly dislike the current uniform. Even though the majority of the students have no comment on the uniform, some students strongly dislike it, which is a very big problem. If a school wants to have happy students, then the students have to love the school first. It?s the same idea as if you want to love someone, then you have to love yourself first.

In our school, there is a new uniform coming up! It started with the middle school art teacher, Ms. Cream, the parent association, and student council. They have been working on the new uniform since the beginning of the year in 2016. Now, it is completely done, and the storeroom will start to selling it in February 2017 (after the Chinese New Year break).

To compare the current one and the old one, the new uniform includes a new choice:the polo shirt, which is something we?ve never had before. The skirt also changed, from blue and white patterns to black. However, the one that changed the most is the PE uniform, from a neon yellow polo shirt to a gray and yellow T-shirt. ?I love the new uniform!! And the PE shirt is way better than the current one,? stated one student. 66.7% of the students prefer the new uniform over the current, and are willing to change. However, there are also some negative comments: ?I'm fine with the current uniform, since changing uniform would mean that I'll have to buy a new set, and the aesthetics aren't guaranteed to look better.? For some students, they just brought a new uniform at the beginning of the year; to them,it is a waste of money to buy a new one, when they still can wear the old one. ?No I don't want to change the uniform because I am a senior.? says one senior, for seniors, they have only one year left, so it is a waste to buy a new one just for one year.

There are both positive and negative arguments about the new uniform. Let?s wait and see the reaction of the students on our new uniform later this school year!

CURRENTEVENTS TULSAOFFICERARRESTEDFORFIRSTDEGREEMURDER BYBINGLONGCHEE 40-year-old Terence Crutcher was murdered after being shot by Officer Betty Shelby on Friday, September 16th.

Officer Betty Shelby and several officers arrived to the scene when a 911 call was made. According to the first call, a man was running away from an abandoned vehicle in the middle of the street.

Allegations against Shelby include unlawful shooting, lack of control, and abuse of power. The Justice Department reported that on the day of the incident, Terence Crutcher was not armed and did not have any guns stored in his car.

Further investigation shows that Crutcher also placed his hands above his head.

The officers said that prior to Crutcher's death, he was reaching for his car?s window. Two shots were fired, one from a stun gun and another from Shelby?s gun. In her defense, Officer Betty Shelby said that although Crutcher comply to her instructions regarding his movement, he later refused to answer any of her questions and did not get on his knees after Shelby explicitly told him to. Tiffany Crutcher, Terence?s twin sister, believes that Betty Shelby should be held responsible for her brother?s death.

The plaintiff ?s attorney expressed relief when the prosecution was successfully brought to case. According to the public information officer, the prison penalty for felony manslaughter (first degree) in Tulsa, Oklahoma, usually ranges from four years to a life sentence. http://edition.cnn.com/2016/09/20/us/oklahoma-tulsa-police-shooting/

OLYMPICS BYCHINDANAI AKARAWONGWARIT(ISAAC) ?I didn't set out to beat the world; I just set out to do my absolute best.? -Al Oerter, four-time Olympic Champion in the discus throw The Olympics --- the event acclaimed by athletes all over the world every four years. The ultimate competition in athletics, has returned as one of the most (if not the most) grandiose and astonishing event in 2016. In recognition of the 2016 Summer Olympics, we will be taking you back in time to relive how it came to be what it is today.

During the year 776 B.C. in ancient Greece, people cheered and applauded as Coroebus, a Greek cook, won the track race competition and became the first Olympic champion. During this time, the games were considered a sacred and holy event: it was Heracles and Alcmene who were said to have descended upon mortals and created what was eventually going to be a worldwide phenomenon - the gathering of athletes.

The games started to gain more popularity and fame every passing decade, but only until the Romans conquered Greece that their quality and praise started to diminish.

Finally in A.D. 393, the games were completely proscribed from rising again. It would be in 1896, fifteen hundred years from then, until the games would reemerge from the depths of hell they had been in.

In late 19th century and early 20th century, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a Frenchman, began to promote the Olympics event, making a move for them to return. Inspired by his trip to the ancient Olympics site, he became really motivated and passionate to introduce what was once a sacrosanct event.

During the Union des Sports AthlĂŠtiques meeting in Paris in 1892, Coubertin revealed his plan of reviving the Olympics. An approval was signed two years after.

In 1896 Athens, Greece, the first modern Olympic competition was established. Over sixty thousand people, including King Georgios I of Greece, attended the event that 280 male athletes from neighboring nations competed in.

The five-colored, interlocked rings were the representation of the continents of the world.

Number of athletes competing increased with every passing Olympiad, from merely three thousand participants in 1924 to eleven thousand athletes in the 2004 games; this has truly been a long way for such an event. http://www.history.com/topics/olympic-games Retrieved September 21, 2016 7:40 PM https://www.olympic.org/ancient-olympic-games/history Retrieved September 21, 2016 8:01 PM http://teacher.scholastic.com/activities/athens_games/history.htm Retrieved September 21, 2016 8:33 PM

DOUBLETENTHDAY BYMAGGIEWEI(MAGGIE) Double Tenth Day is in many ways like the American Independence Day: nationwide parades, military showcases, presidential speeches, nighttime fireworks, and a patriotic feel in the air. Historically, Double Tenth Day celebrates a valiant uprising, and paramount change that led to the birth of the first democratic country in Asia: the Republic of China. Double Tenth Day is celebrated throughout Taiwan as a national holiday. In China and Hong Kong, it takes another name as the Anniversary of the Wuchang Uprising.

At the end of the Qing dynasty, corruption, foreign influences, and wars led to the impoverishment and allocation of China under spheres of influences. Chinese civilians under the duress and the evocation of Chinese nationalism organized themselves into a revolutionary army: the Wuchang New Army. However, with the constant pressure and repression of the Qing government, the army - which has significantly less armed forces than the Qing army - did not gain actual ground at first. In spite of their consequent failures, revolutionary spirit disseminated along the Yangtze River. More and more people joined the revolution.

On October 10, 1911, the Wuchang army marched into the city of Wuhan. Tsai Chi-min led the bombing of the Viceroy?s office. When their leaders fled, the Qing army quickly fell into disorder, allowing the Wuchang army to occupy the city of Wuhan in Hupei Province within a few days. The Wuchang Uprising spearheaded the national movement of Xinhai Revolution, which led to the overthrow of the Qing government and establishment of the Republic of China in the January of 1912, less than 3 months after the Wuchang Uprising.

Today, Double Tenth Day is celebrated in Taiwan with a huge ceremony in front of the Presidential Building attended by thousands across the world. The celebration starts with the Taiwan flag raising ceremony, after which the National Anthem is sung. After the ceremony, civilians and officials from various professions join in a huge public parade with folk entertainments and various performances from the Presidential Building to the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial. Majestic showcases of armed forces marching in unison and the Presidential speech to the people of Taiwan marks the end of the parade. To end the day, dazzling fireworks paint the sky with the colors of red, white and blue - the colors of nationalism, people?s livelihood and democracy and the foundation of the nation.

HALLOWEENISCOMING...

HALLOWEENFACTS BYCHERN-TAYSHIH(KEVIN) Halloween originated back to the ancient Celtic culture, and its originated country was in the area that is now called Ireland.

The common halloween color scheme, orange and black, has its own special meaning. Orange represents crops, and black represents the death - or end - of summer.

Halloween was originally called ?Samhain? or ?summer?s end.? Then, Catholics adopted the celebration from the Celtics, and they change the name ?Samhain? to ?All Hallow?s Eve.? Finally, Christians adopted the celebration and again changed it into ?Halloween? in the 18th century.

Before trick-or-treating was created, there was a tradition called souling in the Midlands and Lancashire in England.

Jack O?Lanterns were originally made out of carved turnips and potatoes.

In Sweden, halloween was called ?Alla Helgons Dag? or ?Allhelgonadagen,? which shortens the work day for 6 days straight, so the children will take a day off from school.

A widely known celebration for Spanish-speaking countries called ?El DĂ­a de Los Muertos? or ?The Day of The Dead.? It?s their time to remember their friends and family and to honor the dead.

They?ll put out flowers, candies, photographs, water and the favorite food and drinks of the deceased to celebrate.

In Medieval times, the owl was thought to be a witch, and the owl?s call is believed to mean that someone?s death is coming soon. Some other animals, such as bats, spiders, and black cats can also signify the same thing.

According to Irish legend, Jack O?Lanterns are named after a stingy man named Jack who, because he tricked the devil several times, was forbidden entrance into both heaven and hell. He was condemned to wander the Earth, waving his lantern to lead people away from their paths. http://facts.randomhistory.com/halloween-facts.html , Sept. 3 20:41

SCARYFOLKLOREAROUNDTHEWORLD BYCOCOHUANG(COCO) Stores start to sell masks and capes, candies are getting discounts, and Thailand?s weather is significantly cooler by a degree or two. October is coming.

To be honest, most people think of Halloween whenever someone mentions October, myself included. There are all types of ways to celebrate Halloween. A significantly less popular way to celebrate for some people is to just simply ignore the festivities. I personally like to get into the spirit by reading since I?m not a big fan of going hardcore; you know, having a scary movie marathon, preparing costumes, create another remix of Spooky Scary Skeletons, stuff like that.

Not everyone?s a big fan of reading, I can understand that. That?s why I?ve decided to give myself some chills and search for more diverse monsters to show that there?s a whole lot of creepy culture that you might be missing out.

Without further ado, here?s some of my selections: Tikbalang (The Philippines): A humanoid monster whose name literally translates to ?demon horse? in a version of this folklore. The Tikbalang is known to live in the mountains and forests of the Philippines. For a half-human, half-horse being, they?re generally a playful bunch; but they have powers to create illusions. Tikbalangs can range from a creature that you can tame by plucking its golden hair to savage night creatures that kill when they are angered. It?s said that horses did not exist in the Philippines, so some theories say that the Spanish had created this mythical creature to scare the natives. If you sense or want to avoid the Tikbalang, you can wear your shirt inside out, ask for permission to pass, or just stay quiet to not disturb them in the forest.

Hårgadansen (Sweden): In the small town of Hårga, a group of teenagers met up in a barn late at night to party hard. Suddenly, the music stops and a spelman (a person who plays old folk music) appears from the shadows of the barn. It is said that he wears a hat while having a pair of ?burning? eyes. As soon as the spelman played his violin, the teenagers started to dance. Unfortunately for them, they couldn?t stop dancing, and the music did not stop either. The spelman then led the dancing teenagers up to the Hårgamountain until they reduced themselves into dancing skeletons. A girl who survived and stayed in the barn had warned the people of the spelman, but nobody listened. It is said that if you are brave enough to travel at the Hårgamountain at full moon, you would hear the Devil himself playing his violin for his dead dancers.

La Llorona (Mexico/Hispanic Regions in North America): or in English, the Weeping Woman. As generic as her name sounds, La Llorona?s origin story is unique with a mix of history and revenge. The original La Llorona was a native lady called Maria. She?s admired by everyone for her looks, and she definitely knows it. Maria came from a poorer family, but she?s so arrogant that she declares that she?ll marry the most handsome man in the world. She eventually meets a Spanish nobleman and both of them married happily and had two children. Unfortunately, the nobleman?s family did not agree with the union, and he has to separate himself from Maria. Angered by this, Maria goes home and kills her children, then kills herself by drowning. When she applied for admission in Heaven, the El Señor refuses to allow her in and asks her for her children. Maria then is doomed to search for her dead children to be able to enter Heaven. She would often scream ?ay, mis hijos!? (oh my children) in lakes and streams at night. Some say her face now looks like a horse; others say that she?s faceless with a black veil covering her. Either way, it?s just a cheap tactic for Mexicans to tell their kids to not go out at night, and it?s also a fairly popular tale in Texas. http://www.phantomsandmonsters.com/2010/07/legendary-humanoids-tikbalang-demon.html http://www.marcusmartenson.com/blog/?p=1276 https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/lxl01

Beyonce Hopefully, this is the mindset you have as you read my article. Quarter 1 has almost come to an end. Do you slay or not in your classes so far? As a current senior, one suggestion I have for all of you is to work as hard as you can no matter how serious the problems you?re facing. These obstacles will make you stronger and resilient as an individual. However, for those who are lost, here are my top 5 quotes from Beyonce that can change your life:

#Switch ?Okay, ladies, now let's get in formation, cause we slay.?

But, remember - don?t forget: ?We all have our imperfections. But I?m human, and you know, it?s important to concentrate on other qualities besides outer beauty.?

here are times when things go in the way we want it to be; nevertheless, there are also times when we fail. If you succeed, you shouldn?t stop there; you should go further just like what Beyonce said: ?I can never be safe; I always try and go against the grain. As soon as I accomplish one thing, I just set a higher goal. That?s how I?ve gotten to where I am.? Beyonce But if you fail, you can still take those moments as lessons and motivation to move forward.

MS.TIFFANY'SINTERVIEW BYTUNNAPATEKAKARAWORAPONG(OPAL)

How would your fr iends descr ibe you?

My friends would say that I am adventurous. I am also dedicated to sports because I was the leader of the sports team in college. I could also say that I am athletic since I played softball.

Why did you choose to come to TCI S? I got the opportunity to teach internationally, and this is my first year doing this. I have social responsibility because I did community service back in college and that really spoke out to me. I wanted students to become life-long learners. I also like Thailand?s location. Mr. John also told me how good the students here are, so I decided to come to TCIS.

What is your favor ite thing about being a teacher ?

I want to get students to like math like I do. I wanted them to get a spark of math that would make them enjoy doing math.

Why did you choose to maj or in M athematics?

I was originally a chemistry major. Then, in my second year, I decided to change my major to something that I actually enjoyed: being a teacher. During my time in secondary school, math was my strongest subject and the teacher taught me in a fun way. Also, math is a much more open field compared to chemistry.

Where do you see your self in five year s?

I think I will be in a classroom. But you never know where you will be because you never know where life will you.

COMICS BYDHITIPONDTAVEEVARARUK(MIN)

HOROSCOPES BYGRACETIRABASSI(GRACE)

Aries You may begin to run into a few extra obstacles regarding family and friends. Don?t make that bring you down, though! You are strong and have already been through similar situations, so you should be fine. Just make sure you are very careful with what you say to people because they might start to lose trust in you. There is a high chance that new people will start to come into your life ? which is great! Be kind to others, and they will be the same. However, if someone is starting to become a burden to you, I highly recommend not to waste your time on them.

Taurus Stop thinking too much. You?re putting way too much time and effort into someone or something that won?t really matter in the long run. If you truly do believe, though, that they are really that important, then follow your instincts. Just don?t let yourself become upset when things don?t turn out the way you want them to be. If you are feeling down, don?t be afraid to talk to a friend or someone you really trust. After all, having your wild feelings bottled up inside is not going to make you feel much better.

Gemini You really need to break your bad habits, especially procrastination. In fact, you?re probably procrastinating right now. Yes, the soap opera you?re watching is extremely addictive, or maybe you?re just mindlessly scrolling through Facebook because you have nothing better to do. You might be thinking right now: ?Oh, it?s fine. What can possibly go wrong?? But your future self staying up at 2 AM trying to write an MLA research paper will more than likely strongly disagree with you.

Cancer Reunion time! If you haven?t been with a family member or a friend for a while, fear not.

This is the perfect time to give them a warm visit (or the other way around). Your home will be full of guests and activities whether it?s a family reunion, a big dinner, or even a sleepover, so be prepared. You may also start to feel more creative and want to add more of an aesthetic touch to your lifestyle and belongings, like your bedroom, your dressing style, your workspace, or even your Instagram feed! Just remember to think twice before making decisions because you might start to act a bit more impulsive than your usual self.

Leo You?re trying your best to improve yourself as a whole, especially your self-confidence and your socialness. Pushing yourself forward is almost always a good thing to do ? in the right amount. Your ambitiousness will want to take you out of your comfort zone to live a more exciting life. It is quite important, however, to make sure that you are not forcing yourself to do something that makes you feel uneasy or something that is beyond your capability.

Virgo There?s something that?s probably been bugging your mind for a while now. As much as you want to flush out your negative feelings onto something, you should be careful about how and where you?re letting out your emotions. A friend will always be the best person to vent to, just not the best person to spit your frustrations at. You might want to pour out your feelings by making a 5 paragraph long status post on Facebook explaining why your ex is the worst human being on this planet, but that?s probably not the most appropriate way to let out your emotions either. Instead, listen to happy music, paint, go for a bike ride, or play Counter-Strike to your heart?s content. Do whatever it takes to make yourself feel happiness without taking away someone else?s.

Libra It?s always good to be kind to others, but it is also important to find a good balance between keeping everyone else and yourself happy. Your empathy might become an obstacle for pursuing a passion of yours, so don?t be shy when someone asks for an honest opinion of yours ? even if you think they might not like it. If you try too hard to please everyone else, you?ll end up finding yourself very unhappy.

Scorpio You?ve been working so much that you might as well give yourself a break. Yes, being responsible and trying your best is something every person should do, but it?s also a good idea to remind yourself every once and awhile that you?re actually not a robot. When you start to feel a bit stressed or on the edge, I highly recommend you to (maybe just literally) stop and smell the roses and find something relaxing to do. Maybe go out and watch a movie with your friends or read your favorite book with a cup of hot cocoa. Just chill out!

Sagittarius You tend to like to work by yourself, rather than collaborate with others, which is fine! You?re an independent person that actually knows how to get things done. The problem is that you can?t always do that. Cut yourself some slack by making other people work with you for a change and things might turn out better for you.

Capricorn It?s your time to shine, so go out and just be yourself! Release your inner creativity and enthusiasm for a change. Share your thoughts and ideas to people, but be mindful, because you also don?t want to end up offending anyone. Be the unique and innovative person you are, so you can make a positive change to yourself and possibly even to the people around you.

Aquarius A big change has either already happened or will happen to you. Maybe you won?t like how everything is different, but that?s okay. Life is all about changes! After all, you would probably be miserable if you stayed the same way for the rest of your life. So learn to accept the changes and adapt yourself to them. You?ll then later find yourself more content and more open minded.

Pisces You?ve been focusing your attention far too much on something. It?s now the time to get your mind off of it and spend your free time on something else that you enjoy. Not that you should completely cut it off from yourself, but rather find other things to do every once and awhile.

Also, expect to make a lot of sacrifices this month. Whether it?s sacrificing your gaming time to get more work done or to give up your money on buying those overpriced shoes and using it to buy something you actually need.
