| On himself:
|
I am fifteen years old. Two of my three siblings are at this school. Before I came here, I was studying at another primary school. But my teacher decided to teach at this school and I moved with him. Now I live only 200 meters from the school. My father works as a lumberjack for a company, and my mother sells vegetables at home.
|
| On the new building:
|
I am very happy to have this new building. It is much nicer and more solid than my old school. It is easier to study here, because I don’t have to worry about the rain any more just like we did in the old school.
|
| Favorite subject:
|
Khmer language. It is easier than math because the teacher uses many pictures when he teaches. I like pictures because they make the class interesting.
|
| In his spare time:
|
I go to get water and prepare meals. When I don’t work, I play soccer with my friends.
|
| In the future:
|
I want to continue studying till I finish high school. Then I’d like to be a policeman because there are too many thieves these days.
|
| If he could travel anywhere:
|
I would go to my homeland near the border with Vietnam. I forgot the name of the village because I left there when very young. Now the village is a part of Vietnam.
