On herself:
|
I have two siblings. My father is a soldier, and my mother is a farmer. My father lives at the military base. I only see him once a month. Our house is right by the school (our fences touch).
|
On the new building:
|
I am very happy to have a new school. I was always worried that the old school would collapse because it was so worn out. That made studying there a little difficult. The old building was always leaning toward one side.
|
Favorite subject:
|
My favorite subject is Khmer. I like reading a traditional Khmer folktale of a king and a dragon, who fall in love with each other and get married in the end.
|
On her spare time:
|
In my spare time I do the dishes at home. I also go to sell sweets at school.
|
If she could have one wish:
|
I would like to have a big house.
|
In the future:
|
I want to be a teacher and educate the villagers. I want them to obtain more knowledge.
