Changing Cambodia 2013 – 2014

In this whole year that i had been learn in Liger. I changed cambodia a little bit by teaching some of the cambodia child in Takeo and other place. I had been going to Takeo province to teach the child in NFO organization. I teach them to recycle thing using many thing like card board and other stuff. I tought them how to make toy using the structure of simple machine and using recycle material. To do that I tought them that in the country don’t have the materials. So we taught them a trick using recycle materials like plastic and foam. Foam can melt easily so we can use gasoline to melt it and it will be a little bit liquid then we can use it as glue. I get that trick from my grandpa and all of those thing you see doing great at Liger. I learn it from my grandpa I did not know that it possible to do it in my life. The last thing that i had been helping Cambodia is learning how cambodia change. This thing is simple but it will help. I did that because it simple and to change Cambodia it doesn’t meant that we has to help out side but it about what you choose help.

I Go to an Unusual School!!!

I go to a very unusual school. Our school is called the Liger Learning Center (LLC). It is located in Cambodia (Southeast Asia). Our goal that we need to accomplish is to change our country. We have been chosen to be in this school because we are unusual (smart). LLC gave 50 students a scholarship. Liger school had selected only 50 students out of more than ten thousands students in Cambodia. It is the first boarding school in Phnom Penh. Students at LLC learn two languages; English and Khmer. We have local teachers and overseas teachers. Our school spends a lot of time on explorations. Exploration is one of our school curriculum where we learn by exploring and researching. It a seven weeks long project. In explorations class we go out and explore the real world. In comparison, in the government schools the students just learn about theories, they never explore or practice their theories. I like my school so much because it gave me a scholarship and the opportunity to learn by exploring.

Football Competition

On Wednesday, 19, November was the amazing day for me because Liger got to play football with EastWest school. Every players were so excited. Before we left Liger we had a quick assembly about our study program. We done our assembly early because we needed to prepare our stuff. We left Liger at 3:00 oclock. On the bus I felt excited and nervous. When we arrived 3G (the place that for play football), every one shouted “ WoW!!!” because the field look amazing. Before we play we had a quick warm up. Our school teams were divided in four, two team were boys and two teams were girls. In boys team we divided A and B. My team was A team. We had 15 minutes practice suddenly our coach Jeff came and said that my team was the team to play first. My team came together and discussed how the game work. In my team there were six people played and a person substitute. Menghout was the goalkeeper, the defender were Maya and Somphors, the midfielder was Chhoeu and the striker were Vitou and myself. I like my teammate a lot. Before We played I called my teammate and had a quick talked about win and lost. I said if our team played hard and collaborate we will win if we not we will lost. The first round I scored one goal for my team. I was so excited. Every one look at me and cheered at me. After two minutes unexpectedly the East West team scored one goal back. My team felt a little bit upset with each other but it still okay. We kept played until finished the first half. When we finished the first round I called my group again and discussed how we going to play in second half. The second round had begun. In 2 minutes I scored another goal for my team and they were so excited and happy. We kept played until the second round was up and my team were so happy also the staff too. After my group finished I went to watched the girls played. The girls were scored a lot of goal. It was amazing. When We went back home Jeff bought the sandwiches for us its were so delicious. We arrived Liger about 6:00 oclock. My friends that they stayed at Liger asked me a lot of questions about the football. We arrived just on time to eat dinner. We had dinner with our friends and then we went home took a shower and relax. The football event was amazing if I have another chance like that again I will be very excited.

Day One Reflection

Since the first year until now my literacy skills has developed by a lot. The skills that I changed were spelling, past tense, plural, capitalization and reading. One of the sentences that I wrote was “yesterday I when to ican”. In this sentence there are three mistakes two of them were capitalization and one of them was spelling. My reading book changed by 15 levels from the first year. It (was) amazing to me because I thought that I wouldn’t move by this many levels. The past tense mistake that I did is “I go watch the circus.” I think it should be “I went to watch the circus”. My first year writing was really messy but now I try to make it more organized. Also my drawing looks so funny. Another sentence that I should use a better word is “One person stand and looked the one person was climbing on the rope.” In that sentence I should use the word another instead of the one person. Since the first years until now I made a lot of mistakes but that mistakes was my experience to me. So in the future I can change my mistakes.
