In the world, life is not constant the only thing that it constant is change. Changes are always happen in our life. It doesn’t care that you are a poor person or a rich person, smart or stupid, beautiful or ugly, they always find you and make things different. There are two types of changes. Change can be good or it can be bad, depend on what kind of change would you want to change. For me, becoming one of the Liger’s students was the biggest change that I made so far in my life. When I study at Liger I have a lot of opportunities to change my life and my country.
It is the fourth year at Liger. I have involved in a project called Google Science Fair. It’s a competition that have thousands of young people from different country and have the same passion about science. We were trying to use our science knowledge to create positive changes in our community and make the difference it the world. My project was about using the plastic bottles and plastic bags in a different way. By using plastic bottles and plastic bags in the right way is to use plastic bags to put in the plastic bottles. After we filled the bottle with plastic, the bottles are strong enough to use to build bench, small road, etc. So when we collect the plastic bags and plastic bottles. it will help to clean our environment, community, and our world. We choose to make this project because we thought that plastic is one of the biggest problem in the world. I have this opportunity and I also want to share it to young Cambodian to have the same opportunity.
The first exploration of the year was learning about Phnong indigenous minority. In this project we thought that Phnong is part of Cambodian and not a lot of people know about them and their culture. Our team decided to create a book that include tons of information about Phnong people. To research for the information out team went to the Phnong’s community and learned about them to create our book. We spent five days with the Phnong and we got lots of information that we can use it to write our book. In the book my jobs were writing and editing with my others three teammates. It the conclusion we raised three main problems that we don’t really have the best answers or solutions to. But we could only share share our idea at the Sharation. But for me I really encourage the government to help to make the positive changes. We hope people are buying more book, so we can spread our words.
This year we have the opportunity to create our own exploration with a group of people between two-six people. I was participated in Khmer Interior Design(KID) exploration. Our goal in this exploration was to designed one of the apartment in Liger school and we noticed that in Cambodia there wasn’t a lot of interior designers. I have learned that every things that appear for you to see, they have their purpose and explanation. In the exploration I have designed the kitchen and living room with my partner Thiny.
The fourth year was a fabulous year because the secretary of state could learn and know bout our school. Liger was honored to invite the secretary of state and some important people from different government schools. Every students were presenting about something about why Liger is a unique school. I was sharing one of Liger curriculum(STEAM). I think that I had give the leaders of education something that they could change in the government school.
Next year we will be Liger’s senior students, so we will have our own house ans starting to cook the food for ourselves. I was working on an exploration called Liger Senior Cook Book. And our goals were finding recipes, writing method and published a book, so people that don’t know how to cook could learn from our book. We were divided in three teams. We have created change by making the book so people could learn from it.
All these exploratioons have help me to make changes in my community and my country.
