My name is Kayla Pile. I am a Sophomore at Arizona State University. I am on a three year program majoring in Elementary Education. I have a twin sister that is going through the program with me. I have an older brother that graduated from The University of Arizona. While growing up I always had my mom who was my mentor that inspired me to pursue the career that I am working towards today. My mom has been a teacher for the last 13 years and doesn't plan on stopping anytime soon. While growing up I was not the typical child that grew up with all the same friends. I was constantly moving as a result of my dad being in the Marine Corp. I had to learn to adapt to change. I constantly had to make new friends everywhere I moved however, it ultimately made me more social. I have lived in a few places like Okinawa, Florida, Camp Pendleton, Murrieta, Arizona etc. I know that as I continue to get older I will continue to move. While moving I have thought of all the places in which I would like to travel. I would love to visit Thailand. I feel as if Thailand is such a beautiful place that everyone wants to visit. Thailand is a place in which I want to discover and learn more about. Since my dad was in the Military, he had the opportunity to visit Thailand. He had the opportunity to ride an Elephant when he was there. Because of this, I immediately promised myself that one day I would visit Thailand. This is why I want to do more research to see exactly what Thailand is actually about.
