On
herself:
|
I
am thirteen years old. I have four siblings. One of my brothers also
studies in the first grade at this school. The other brother is fifteen
year old and is a monk. He became a monk two years ago.

On
the new building:
|
I
am very excited to have a new school building. The old wooden building
where I used to study was not as nice. Whenever it rained, the rain
would leak through a thatched roof and classes would be cancelled.
Furthermore, the new school is only 200 meters away while the old school
was 2-3 kilometers away. I have been studying here for one year.

Favorite
subject:
|
Khmer
language. I think reading and writing is easy.
|
|
On
her spare time:
|
I
carry water, cook rice, and take care of my sister. I also do my
homework. When I can, I play with my friends and my sister. We play jump
rope and hopscotch.
|
|
In
the future:
|
I’d
like to be a teacher and teach the next generation how to understand the
Khmer language. If I had the ability, however, I would be a nurse,
because now there are many patients *gives a boy a wink*

|
If she could travel anywhere
|
I
want to go to Battambang to visit my relatives. They all live there.
