“Don’t give up trying to do what you really want to do.” – Ella Fitzgerald
In Khmer class this year, we mainly focus on researching. On the first week or our essential, we got into groups of five to do some research on Phcum Ben, which is one of our holidays. In this case, we have to research then present to the class. The information on this project, our group research based on this question:
What is Phcum Ben?
When is it happening?
Why we need to have this event?
What is the history of Phcum Ben?
What do people do on Phcum ben?

Have you ever wondered why you were born in your country? Is it your destiny to change your country? If that is the case, I believed that I can change my country, Cambodia. Growing up, we pictured our-self as who we are in the future, a doctor, a teacher, an engineer or even a millionaire. However, we were just kids who kept dreaming big. Unfortunately, we’re older, we have more decisions to make and to bring the dream of changes to reality. But, is it possible to change your country? Mike Jaffe once said, “ Small steps lead to big changes.” This is so true. If you can’t change your country now don’t be upset because if you plant an apple tree today it won’t give you apples tomorrow. So, the best way to start it is to plant it first and water it along the way, Give your full effort to make your dream become reality. In this year of 2016 – 2017, I’ve seen myself bringing changes to the country with Liger as the ladder to support my steps.
During my life, as a citizen of Cambodia, I can see some points that I wanted to implement my ideas into. Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
First, i’m just a small kid and I want to change Cambodia. To change a country is really hard so I need to start with a smaller step. I have notice Cambodia has a lot of problems. My first solution is I need to change people’s thinking. Also to change people’s thinking it really hard but we’ll try by teaching the small kid to be a good person. So in the future, they know what is bad and what is good. Some solution I couldn’t do but I would like to share. The first solution is we could make an activity and call the villager come to listen to us and I know some people don’t like to come and listen, instead, we can spend some money to buy something for them. I know it will cost some money but some of this money is less than the future. Now there is one group have written books animals of Cambodia, that is a good idea to change the people at the countryside because most people live in the countryside, they hunt animals for sale or for feed their family. Now I had tried to encourage other be trip and sharation. I had learned from Liger a lot and I already start to change my family first then we I’ll try to change my neighborhood. I know everyone wants to have a happy life but they never think how to make their life be happy. Every village wants to have a good education but they never think how to make a good education. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child but in the future, I will become a man I will put childish away. I hope everyone can change Cambodia to be a better country.
Almost everyone in our school like football. We always schedule to play with other school. We train every weekend with our coach Nara. Personally, I really love football, I enjoy watching it, playing it and sometimes I play football video games. Here are some of the pictures from our school.

We are the Entreneurship group which we try to learn and create our own chili sauce business and there are four round and my group is the second round. Basicly in our group we devided into three group and they’re Marketing, Prouction and Market Research. I’m in Market Research which mean I research about packaging and customer and other stuff. Mostly I try to design logos, labels and bottle.
Project evaluation is one of the exploration that we have and right now we are evaluating on the topic: Are PBL and STEM project doabe in government school or not. We did this because to help government decision to think about the PBL and STEM should continue in government school or not. So we collaborate with another two exploration which is about STEM and PBL. We try to put this project into two school, one in Phnom Penh and another one in Kratie. So our evaluation team try to evaluate this project. We have two mentors that help us and teach us about how to evaluate and we only have 5 members in our group.
One of my mentor and my two friend asking students.
My first ID (independent discovery) was about bird because I pasionate about bird so I decide to research about it by my own but before that I have learn in animal guide group which research about animals so I have a lot of experience. Some of my experience are fun like when we went to Prek Toal (floading village) in Tonle Sap Lake and looking for birds and we event swim in that lake. By the time it ends I did another ID and it about super cars.
My dream was to make flying car but that is a big dream so I try to research about it step by step until I get to the big step. Mostly I like to play car games or remote control (RC) car sometimes I event turn RC car into RC boat. Car are not easy to research because it have different type in one company so we need to search the specific name like when I want to research about car in Lamborghini compnay I need to know the real name like, Lamborhgini Aventador. I really wondered at everything that I see and interestin about it.
On 12th January we have a big day at our school. The day of ministery and that mean 40 to 50 people from the ministery will come to see us do the presentation. We devided into many groups and my group is the guide for Liger. In my group we have six peoples wich include me and we devided into 3 group and there are around 50 peoples coming and they devided into 7 group so it mean two group do two time and one group do three time. Your is not really hard because we always talk what we want to talk about our school.
