On herself:
|
My five siblings are all studying at this school with me. My parents are farmers. My father also makes oxcarts to sell. I think people pay 60,000 riels [$15] for one cart. Our house is just down the road from the school. It takes me two minutes to walk home.

On the new building:
|
It’s very easy to study in the new school, because it’s a very nice school. The quality of the building is good. When I studied at the old school, the building would always shake whenever the wind blew, and bricks would fall down. I’m never disturbed by either wind or rain at this school.
|
Favorite subject:
|
Khmer, because it’s easy to learn.
|
In ten years time:
|
I hope to be a nurse, and help my mother if she gets sick. I will still be living in this village. I will be married and have three children.
|
On her spare time:
|
In my spare time I feed my dog. In the evening, I do my homework.
