Today, I received the visit of Khun Kamol Assawamankongcharoen from Gammaco (Thailand) Co., Ltd. He had something for us. To my surprise, he took out a LEGO cup and told me that our team had been awarded the "Mentor Award" at the 2012 FIRST LEGO League Senior Solutions Challenge in Thailand. He also handed me a certificate for the award.
Many teams reach significant milestones thanks to their close relationship with an adult mentor. This Special Recognition Award, called the Mentor Award, goes to the coach or mentor whose wisdom, guidance, and devotion are most clearly evident in the team’s discussion with the judges.
I truly want to thank all of my students in the Panthro team that represented the International School Bangkok for doing such a fantastic work. Panthro would not have been considered for this award if our relationship had not been founded in the FLL Core Values. This is a team award that not only involves me as a coach or mentor but also the team of students that work in the MS-MPR with me every Monday and Friday after school. We will certainly continue to strive for higher achievements next year.
Last but not least, I want to give special thanks to my wife and daughter who had to put up with me for so many hours away from them. I love you all.
