A Journey On Film

Submission Rationale

I have walked along the path of a long and winding road all my life. With its constant twists and turns and
its sloping hills and bends, there has never been telling what sights, scenery, and experiences this road would bring
me. All of the different people we meet and our constant exposure to the world’s plethora of unique cultures
have an indefinite effect in molding who we are, as even the most seemingly insignificant winds and rains inevitably
erode and shape any road or path. Having attended a culturally diverse international school nestled in the foothills
of Chiang Mai, my childhood was spent being exposed to the global cultures of my peers, whilst being simultaneously
engulfed in the traditional backdrop of Lanna culture. My experience as a TCK has taught me to embrace the
twists and turns of different cultures in the path of life, rather than feeling compelled to strictly adhere and succumb
to one. All humans are born at the foot of a path, however, regardless of how many twists, bends,
and forks the path may offer, the journey that we take through life is forged purely with our own sheer willpower and the choices we make.
