Kong Bunthong

Kong Bunthong (Academic Year 2022-2023) – Exhausting, Progressing, Thrilling
Favorite Quote: “Never hate, it only eats you alive. Keep an open mind and always look for the good in people.” – Erich Hartmann

One interesting fact about Bunthong is that he doesn’t like to use phones during his free time. He loves reading, going outdoors into nature, lifting weights, or going to the shooting range or hunting if he has the opportunity. Despite being a good student, Bunthong also plays soccer with his team, works on robotic projects, and runs his little business of owning a YouTube channel with about 30,000 subscribers. His favorite classes are AP Seminar and Physics because he is interested in doing research, and he is very curious about how projectile works since he is really into military technology. Besides AP Seminar, Bunthong thinks that AP Calculus also prepared him the most after high school because these courses teach him the essential skills he needs in college and how to think and stretch his comfort zone with his knowledge. One of the most difficult challenges that Bunthong faced was during the robotics project for the WRO 2022 international round. He has to learn how to work effectively in a team and how to not procrastinate, or else he will not be able to join the competition. After the competition ended, Bunthong learned a lot about creating and improving the robot from other international participants who also joined the competition.

One of Bunthong’s favorite memories with AUPPHS-FA is about the time when there are events, and all students get to wear unique costumes and outfits that make them look so nice. After graduating from AUPPHS-FA, Bunthong plans to go to university abroad and major in Computer Science or Engineering because he has been programming for the past four years. He is also really into military hardware and aerospace, but he decided to choose Computer Science and bind into those. Bunthong’s message to his juniors is, “Hard work means a lot and will help you a lot through school but have time to enjoy yourself too.”
