Answer:
1. Because they came aboard the ship "Sheridan." In August 1901, 600 teachers called Thomasites arrived. Their name derived from the ship they traveled on, the U.S. Army Transport Thomas. The original batch of Thomasites was composed by 365 males and 165 females, who sailed from United States on July 23, 1901.
2. If teachers moved away home they feel more tired because of kilometers they will travel to go back home as they can feel excited maybe because of the new place they travel.
OFWs feel lonely because of they are far from their children and home and makes so sad because the love of their love ones are their hope to be courageous and strong.
