I am in the 8th grade and live in the Khdey Takoy village outside of the city of Phnom Penh, Cambodia.  I like to read books and help my mother do the housework.  I want to be a nurse in the future.  I have three brothers and 1 sister.  All of my brothers and sisters also want to go to school and my father cannot pay for us all to get an education.  My father earns a very small income daily driving a motor taxi.
