| On himself:
|
I am twelve years old. My parents both farm corn. I have seven brothers and sisters, and I am the second youngest. I live about half an hour away from school, on foot.
|
| On the new building:
|
I am very happy with the new school building. It is easy to study in. I used to also studied in a concrete building, but I moved to this one when it was finished, because it is much closer to my house. The other school was far away, and it wasn’t as new as this one.
|
| Favorite subject:
|
Khmer language, because I live in Cambodia.
|
| In his spare time:
|
After school I do my homework. I also help my parents look after my younger brother. When it is necessary, I help my parents with the harvest. I usually have some time left to play; then I like to play soccer and jump rope at home with my relatives.
|
| In the future:
|
I want to be a teacher and educate students. If I could do anything, I would like to be a customs official.
