TUPR BFITS Program

The moment after graduation is both exciting and terrifying. Pride meets uncertainty, and suddenly the future feels wide open 🌟

That’s exactly where Sasithon Buamuangkao (Tik) found herself when she stepped into the next chapter of her life. Graduation marked a proud milestone—but she knew it wasn’t the finish line. It was the beginning of growth, learning, and discovering where she truly belonged in the working world.

Not long after, Tik began her first job at BFITS Thailand. Everything felt new—the responsibilities, the expectations, and the pace of real work. Like many at the start of their careers, she made mistakes and experienced moments of self-doubt. There were days that felt overwhelming, but she made a conscious choice: not to give up 🙏

Instead, she listened.
She asked questions.
She learned from the people around her.

Through everyday tasks and real challenges, Tik gained far more than technical skills. She learned how to manage her time, collaborate with others, and approach problems with growing confidence. She discovered the importance of patience, responsibility, and being open to feedback—understanding that growth often comes quietly, one lesson at a time 🚀

Over time, something changed.
She began to believe in herself.

Her education found purpose in real-life application, and she gained clarity about her strengths and the areas where she could continue to improve. What began as a first job became a turning point—shaping not just her career, but her mindset.

Tik’s journey is a reminder that the first step doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to be taken. With willingness, resilience, and the courage to learn, confidence naturally follows.

At BFITS, we’re proud to be part of that beginning 🧡 A place where learning continues, growth is supported, and potential is discovered.

We end today’s series of with a reminder that the right moment doesn’t always come early 🙏

Some journeys don’t begin straight out of university. Some begin with a leap of faith—years later, in a new country, chasing a dream that never left.

That’s the story of Rachel Alderson 🌟

After 17 years in retail management in the UK, Rachel knew she was ready for something more—something with meaning, purpose, and a connection to her passions.

With a degree in English and Classical History and a long-held dream of teaching abroad, she packed her bags and moved to Thailand in 2018.

She was 38.

It was bold. It was scary.

But it was the beginning of something beautiful.

What started as a “maybe one or two years” plan turned into seven—and counting.

Her first role, teaching conversational English at Saipanyarangsit School (SPR BFITS Program), taught her patience, resilience, and how joy fuels learning.

She then moved to Panyapiwat Institute of Management Demonstration School (SPIM BFITS Program) as an M3 (Grade 9) EP teacher, where students still reach out years later for grammar help at university.

And for 5 unforgettable years, she led as Head Teacher at St. Joseph Convent School (SJC BFITS Program) in the heart of Bangkok, guiding both the EP and ICEP programs—and proudly hosting the first-ever TEDx event between SJC and BFITS.

Now, Rachel serves as Program Manager for six BFITS partner schools across Bangkok, Nakhon Pathom, and Surat Thani.

Each day brings something new—challenges to grow from, opportunities to learn, and stories to shape.
Her journey reminds us all:

It’s never too late to rewrite your story.

You don’t have to settle.

You can pivot. You can leap.

And when you do it with heart, you just might discover your purpose in the most unexpected place.

Here’s to Rachel 🧡

A leader who proves that it’s never too late to chase meaning—and never too early to make an impact.
