| On himself:
|
I am the youngest of three children. My parents are both farmers, but my mother also sells snacks from our house. We live about 1 km from here.
|
| On the new building:
|
I like it very much, because it encourages me to continue my studies. The new school is strong and clean. When I was studying at the old school, I used to think it was hopeless. I foresaw that the school would collapse soon and in fact it did. The new classrooms are spacious and look nice. After sixth grade I will unfortunately have to stop studying and help my mother, because she needs my help.
|
| Favorite subject:
|
Applied science and Khmer are the subjects I like the most. I like applied science because I like learning about sanitation. .
|
| On his spare time:
|
I study at home, and review the last lesson. I also help parents with my work at home. I collect firewood, boil the rice, look after our cows, and water the vegetables.
|
| If he had one wish:
|
I’d wish that I could be a farmer.
|
| If he could travel anywhere:
|
I would travel to Angkor Wat. It is full of old relics. I am especially interested in learning more about the person who built the temples.
