I am in the 7th grade and I live in the Khdey Takoy village, outside of the city of Phnom Penh, Cambodia.  I like the color pink and I like to play with my friends and help my mother do her work.  I want to be a teacher when I grow up.  My father is a construction worker and my mother is a cleaner.  I have two sisters but my youngest sister passed away last year.  We miss her very much.  We live in a very small house with my grandmother.  My father doesn’t always have a job and my mother is sick very often.  We have a problem paying for food and education.
