| On herself: | I am fourteen years old. I have five siblings. Three of them are at school. My parents are rice farmers. We live 200 meters away from school.
|
| On the new building: | The school is very good. We never had a building like this before. Before the school was built, I was planting rice, because there was no school to go to.
|
| On her spare time: | I help my parents farm. I help them transplant the rice. I also do the dishes at home, after every meal. When I have time, I like to play soccer with my friends (boys and girls).
|
| In the future: | I want to be a teacher, because I want to teach children. If I could do anything, I would like to continue studying in a foreign country, for example France.
|
| Favorite subject: | I like math the most.
