Favorite Quote: “If you have an idea that you genuinely think is good, don’t let some idiot talk you out of it.” – Stan Lee

Khattiya is one of the AUPPHS-FA outstanding’s students who is very creative, dedicated, and enthusiastic about learning. One interesting fact about Khattiya is that she is open-minded and understanding of different gender pronouns. Khattiya’s favorite memory here is the field trip to the Win-Win Monument because it was fun getting to hang out with her classmates and friends together. Besides her study, Khattiya likes to help the school community such as decorating and cleaning up during the Halloween event. She told us that Chemistry, Physics, and Biology are one of the subjects that she particularly likes because she has always been fascinated by how the earth and the entire universe work.

During her study here, Khattiya finds that AP Seminar is one of the most challenging assignments for her because she doesn’t have good skills when it comes to having a presentation in front of people. This is also something that she struggles with but at the same time, it gives her a taste of what it is like to have a talk and presentation to many people. This challenge also helps her to develop her people skill a little bit more.

After graduating from AUPPHS-FA, Khattiya plans to apply to the university of her choice and find a side job to help her family. As a senior student, Khattiya’s advice for her juniors is “Having good time management. It is something that I personally struggle with a lot, but I am slowly working to better it. Basically, try to be good at managing your time and keeping things organized. Otherwise, it will add unnecessary struggle for you.”
