About me


My name is Suphannika Vidhayasaronyudh. Too long? Yes, it's probably one of the longest names in the world. Many people call me "the alphabets," but please call me "Dao" (it means "star" in Thai). 




I'm from Bangkok, Thailand. Now, I live in Sydney, Australia to study for my Master in Educational Management and Leadership at The University of Sydney.  Do I have to tell you how difficult the course is? It is very difficult for me. Most of my classmates are experienced teachers from many public and private schools in Australia. One of them is a deputy principal. Some of them are teaching at The University of Sydney!!! I feel so small in class.


But am I going to give up? 
No way!


I am an AusAID student and I am here to represent my country. Nothing can make me give up. I was chosen for the scholarship and I will not let my sponsor down.


Let me tell you more about my educational background.


I got a BA in English Literature from Thammasat University, Bangkok when I was 19.
No, I'm not clever. I had to start my university life this early because I wasn't happy studying Chemistry, Physics, and Math in my high school. I failed all of them. At that time,  a student who passed a special test can skip grade 11-12 and could try university entrance examination. I did and I passed. So, I quit school and went to the university to study what I had always wanted to study.


Then, I got a MA in Language and Communication from the National Institute of Developmental Administration in 2001, one year after I joined the Army as an English instructor.


One year before I came to The University of Sydney, I took another Master in Cultural Resource Management at Silpakorn University. 


Six days after I got married, I flew to Australia.


Don't cry (I'm telling myself). He'll visit me during Easter and we'll go for our honeymoon in Tasmania.


Two months ago, I missed my husband so much I wrote a story of us in a website. It was a hit! A publisher was interested in my work. They sent me an email and...I'm going to have my first book published at the end of this month!


This blog is created for educational purposes, specifically for EDPC5003 Teaching, Learning, and the Internet. For my teacher and classmates, I might not talk much and type much in class but I'm glad to meet you all.


Last of all, I eat and read a lot, but I sleep most of the time.
