In Their Own Words. . .
| On the new building: | “I am happy with the new building because it is clean and cool. I like to come to school because I like to learn.”
|
| On school subjects: | “I like to learn Khmer because I want to know how to read and write. I don’t like social science because it is boring and difficult.”
|
| On his hobbies: | “When I have free time, I like to read and talk with my friends.”
|
| On his family: | “My father passed away in 1998, but I don’t know why. My mother sells cakes by the school. Sometimes she can earn US$3 or $4 in profit in a day. I have one brother who is also at school with me.”
|
| On his future: | “I want to be a teacher when I grow up because I want to teach the next generations.” |
