Waew Wiboonsantis Path By Aaron Holmes | WC Waew Wiboonsanti has a great smile. An intelligent, glowing young woman, Waew, pronounced wow, came to Western after forsaking a profitable future in business for and interest she has had since high school: psychology. Waew grew up in Chiang Mai, Thailand; Thailands second largest city. Chiang Mai has a population of 1.6 million and is located in the northern region of Thailand in the mountains. Chiang Mai, Waew explains, is a city in nature. It is a large mass of people and culture set among the greens and browns of the mountains. It was here that Waew received her undergraduate degree from Chiang Mai University. In Thailand, MBA are really popular, Waew explains. Getting a Masters of Business Administration in America would all but guarantee her a high status job in Thailand. If you come here ve Livingesned 1 eu: ech In Thailand, Waew explains, psychology garners nowhere near the amount of respect an MBA does. She says peoples general reaction is what are you going to do with that? Regardless, Waew decided to follow her passion rather than follow the money. T like psychology, she happily admits. I enjoy the subject matter of psychology. No longer being in Winthrops MBA program caused Waew to [America], she says, you will look like you are rich or elite. After lose her scholarship. She had to study for a year, taking prerequisite courses for that, at her current educational level, career advancement would be psychology. Applying for slow at best. This, combined with her fathers unwavering praise of graduate school after that year, Waew pursued programs in graduating from Chiang Mai University, she got a job working for Fujikura Group. She worked there for over a year before realizing the United States (he lived in Tallahassee, Florida for 10 years), caused Waew to work towards an MBA here in America. psychology. I got accepted as an MBA student at Winthrop, Waew says She was accepted into Westerns School Psychology program two years ago. The matter-of-factly. She also received a scholarship and a stipend, which School Psychology program here is good and it is accredited by NAS [the National would have allowed her to attend Winthrop virtually cost-free. Waew Association of School Psychologists], Waew says. It was the quality of Westerns did, however, run into one problem at Winthrop. Her real desire was psychology programs, the schools mountainous location and a recommendation from a not business; it was psychology. Winthrop professor that led Waew to attend Western. Originally, Waews goal was to study clinical psychology. After seeing the rise in demand for school psychologists, however, she decided to pursue that field. Profile: Ryan Fussell By Sergio Ortiz | WC If you have ever wondered into the basement floor of Benton late in the evening, you probably sensed a pleasant aroma in the air, that is the result of Ryan Fussells, or Fussell as he is known, cooking. Fussell is a freshman who has a gift for the culinary arts. Fussell is always preparing a savory dish to chow down on; his cooking has made him a celebrity in Benton and Albright halls. Fussells career in cooking began strangely when he worked in a food market in the produce department where he acquired knowledge that lead him to get a better job in a restaurant as a host. At this restaurant, Fussell served as a host and helped out in the preparation section where he learned how to prepare many dishes, I learned the basics about working in a kitchen Fussell states. Later on Fussell moved up into the cook line. At the same time Fussell was working at another restaurant, where he worked the grill. Fussell held these jobs when he was 17. When Fussell came to Western, he didnt stop cooking, but rather continued, developing his own cooking style. Fussells ~~ eclectic foods include, seafood dishes, to fajitas, and being able to cook chicken 600 ways. Other dishes he prepares are grilled vegetables and pastas with homemade sauces. To cover his cooking costs, Fussell sells what he makes. Price range from $4.00 for a tub of food, to $2.50 for some fajitas. Selling food helps him keep everyone fed as he proclaimed, I have had over 100 customers this semester and none of them have ever come back with complaints. a little ego? Not at all, as I interviewed Fussell, some local residents from other halls came in to buy some food from him. I asked them what they thought of Fussell food and one girl named Kelly Naper replied Its the best food on campus, while another girl named Catherine Butterfield remarked He doesnt make just one kind of food, but makes a whole lot of different kinds. I decided to see if Fussell was all the hype, so I tried one of his dishes, and I must say it was very good. Cooking isnt just something Fussell likes to do for fun, but is thinking seriously about one day attending Cordon Bleau Chef Academy in France on day or the Culinary Institute of America. Fussell one day also hopes to open his own restaurant where he will feature all his cooking styles. Fussell definitely has a promising future as a chef, so Emeril, watch out. Waews program takes three years to complete. The first two and a half years consist of taking classes and the last semester is devoted to an internship. Waew has just started her third and last year in the program, which puts her close to returning home to Chiang Mai. She holds her birth place in high regard and, after being away for over three years, seems happy to tell about its finer points. T like Thai food, Waew states with a grin. She is still trying to find out what American food is and is unwilling to believe that it could consist almost solely of hamburgers, pizzas, and other fast foods. Food, however, is not the only difference between America and Thailand. A major difference that serves as a stumbling block for Waew is money. Everything is expensive, she exclaims. Thats an understatement when one considers that one Thai Baht is worth 0.0256 USD. Normally I spend 60 cents for a meal, she says of Thailand. In Chiang Mai, a fancy meal might cost $6. In the United States, its easy to spend $20 for a nice meal. The expense of attending graduate school and the lack of a job market in Thailand for school psychology may cause Waew to extend her stayin the United States. She will likely need to work somewhere in the United States in order to gain some financial security before returning to Chiang Mai. Though it will keep her from her much loved home, working in the United States does have one major advantage. The same principal that worked against her when converting baht to dollars will work for her when she travels back to Thailand and converts dollars to baht. T enjoy my classes, dont know about my future, Waew laughs. At the moment, she is not certain exactly what she will do when she graduates. Regardless of where her path takes her, she seems to be on the right track. Waew has traveled a long way from home and has made sacrifices to pursue what she truly wants to do in life. Certainly the world of psychology has something to look forward to in her quick mind, bright smile and determination.
