Daisy Vogt is 18 today! My, how the years have flown by.
Nine years ago, when the Pattaya Mail was just a baby, nine-year-old
Daisy was already contributing to the paper by writing Daisy’s Children’s
Column. This was indeed a challenge for someone so young, finding items and
stories of interest to the kids of our community.
Daisy
is always "on the go". Happy Birthday Daisy!
In her early teens, Daisy took up windsurfing and
excelled at the sport. She then contributed articles and pictures of ‘her
favorite’ sport to the Pattaya Mail and was often seen presenting
sports and children’s social programs on the Pattaya Mail
television channel.
The years flew even faster still, for Daisy is now
attending her first year at ABAC University. That still could not keep her
away from the Pattaya Mail, for she regularly contributes articles
and even proves her linguistic skills by translating news and editorials for
us. That would certainly be good training as her parents Michael and Marion
have now become a big part of the Chiangmai Mail team.
We wonder sometimes how she does all that, when college
life is so tough? With a smile and a glimmer in her eye that would melt any
young man’s heart she says, "I study hard and I play hard, and then I
do work for the paper. That is living life to the fullest. I hate having to
sit around doing nothing." And so she does, keeping as busy as a bee.
Daisy is a highly motivated and dedicated worker in
studies and in sports. In actuality in everything she does. Looking back on
all those years watching her grow from a sweet little nine year old to tall
and beautiful princess, full of energy and a zest for life, we can say that
we are very proud of her.
Thank you for your support. You have made your parents
and your family very proud.
We are confident that you will excel in your studies and
one day make a great name for yourself in the field of marketing or in
anything you choose to do that your heart desires.
On this, your 18th birthday, we
give you these best wishes:
Life is as good as You want it to be… Put your aims
high, treasure your family and friends, reach for the stars and they will
shine down on you! Have a most wonderful Day! From all of us at the Pattaya
Mail.
