In The Garden, Issue One 8
AL: What’s your favourite sport to play and why?
LW: My favourite sport back home is hockey -
field hockey. I’ve played it since I was 6 years old,
so it’s always been my favourite sport. It’s a bit
like ice hockey but with a ball and on the field. I
play goal, so I get padded up and it’s really fun.
Some might say it’s a little crazy playing goal
because they use the stick to hit the ball really
hard at me, but it’s not painful because of the
padding I wear
AL: What inspired you to become a P.E. teacher?
LW: I’ve always liked sports. It’s something I
kinda fell into. I did my GCSEs in P.E., A-Levels in
P.E. then went to university in sports with my
masters in sport psychology. So then I kind of fell
into being a P.E. teacher, it’s something that I
enjoy working with young people and making a
difference as well. It’s not something I
necessarily always wanted to do, but more like
something I fell into.
AL: How are you enjoying Thailand so far?
LW: I love it. I just find it a bit hot and sweaty
teaching outside all day, but apart from that it’s
good.
AL: What is your favourite food here?
LW: I really like ramen, but that’s not really Thai. I
like Pad thai, which is a classic and the fried
chicken that you can get from the streets as well.
