In Their Own Words. . .
| On the new building: | “The new school building is nice because it is made of concrete and has enough tables. Also it has very good blackboards and dustbins.”
|
| On school subjects: | “My favorite subject is Khmer because it’s easier to learn than other subjects. I don’t like mathematics because it’s difficult to learn.”
|
| On her hobbies: | “When I come to school to meet my friends we like to clean the classroom because we want it nice when class begins.”
|
| On her family: | “I want to graduate high school because I want to be able to make money. My parents want me to graduate because they want me to know a lot. My father finished fourth grade because he told me his parents wanted him to get married. My mother only finished third grade because her parents wanted her to get married, too.”
|
| On her future: | “I want to be a teacher in the future because I want to teach in this new school building.”
|
| Message for the donor: | “I would like to thank the friends of Judith Wolf who donated this new school building for us. I wish them good luck.” |
