Reaksa is the third in the family, with two younger brothers and one older brother, and one older sister. Her family has no land so her parents owned one hectare of farmland for growing rice. The rice can produce 10 sacks of rice per year and the production quantity of rice is 75 – 80 kilogram. After harvesting rice, her mother need to sell half of the rice with the cost of $100 to pay back for the fertilizers and the landowner and some the money to support the family. Although, they earned little income from selling rice that income couldn’t settle the family well, therefore, her father has to work as a builder that so far from the house in the city and got $3 per day but still not enough to support the kids to school and food for every day.
Reaksa is a good and smart student. After school, she goes home to help her parents with housework. In her free time, she likes to read books and review the lessons from school and help her mother to cook meals for her family and look after her brothers.
Reaksa wants to be a teacher when she grows up. She wants to help all the poor kids and the most she wants to earn money to support her family to be better in the future.
