In Their Own Words
| on the new building: | “With the concrete building, it is comfortable to study in even when it is raining. Previously when it rained, it was noisy and we stopped studying.”
|
| on subjects: | “I like the applied sciences. For me it is easy to learn and remember. I hate mathematics.”
|
| on her hobbies: | “I like volleyball and traveling. I have been to Phnom Penh five times since I was born and Ta Mao Mountain Zoo three times with my mother and father. My family has a motorbike. If I can save enough money for the plane ticket, I would like to fly to Canada to see snow and try skiing.” |
