In Their Own Words . . .
| On the new building: | “This new building is much better than the old one because it is stronger. It is made of concrete and not wood like the old one was.”
|
| On school subjects: | “I like teaching Khmer and mathematics because I think that they are very important for the students to know.”
|
| On teaching: | “I became a teacher because I want the students here to get an education to change their future. I finished middle school, and went to teacher training school for one year before becoming a teacher.” |
