| On himself:
|
I am sixteen years old, and have three siblings. I am the eldest. My parents are both farmers, and our house is three minutes away from the school.
|
| On the new building:
|
I am very happy with the new school. I am trying to study very hard. The old school where I used to study was really old and was almost about to collapse.
|
| Favorite subject:
|
Khmer and Math. I like them because I want to understand letters and numbers.
|
| In his spare time:
|
I carry water to our house, and I take care of my siblings.
|
| In the future:
|
I want to be a teacher. I want to teach students the value of education. If I could do anything, I would be a farmer. I prefer farming even to teaching. I want to make enough money from farming to keep the farm. A teacher is a difficult job. A farmer can plant rice and provide for his family.
|
| If he could travel anywhere:
|
I would like to visit Angkor Wat. I want to see the Angkor temples and old sculptures that have remained until today.
