| On himself: | I am thirty years old. I got married in 1987 and have one daughter, but ever since my wife died my daughter lives with my mother in Battambang. I am originally from Battambang too, but was assigned to this school by the Ministry of Education in 2001. I have been a teacher since 1998.
|
| On the new building: | We never had a school here before. This is the first one ever built here. I am very happy that the school was built. Without it nobody would go to school.
|
| (Least) Favorite subject to teach: | Khmer is my favorite subject to teach. I want to teach my students how to love their studies. My least favorite is math. When I teach it, the students don’t understand. I try to explain to them many times, but they still don’t understand. So I get frustrated.
|
| On living alone: | I live here alone and it’s no problem. My daughter lives with my mother, and she came to visit me a couple of times. She is eighteen years old now. |
