Hello! My name is Channak Sam 21 year old, march. Takeo province is my birthplace I have four siblings, two younger brothers; I’m a second child in family. My father 58 year old, he stays home and mother 60 year old, she has sold foods meat on the edge road. She couldn’t be able to work without my sister helps. My sister stops study to help my mother work since she grade 6th until now. Sometime I want to give up my study to help them but she said, we have tried like this because we didn’t want anybody like them.
In 2008, I finished high school and I decided to continue my study at Phnom Penh on the field of Civil Engineer. I do love my subject and I hope I can help my family and my country.
The first I came to Phnom Penh alone and I asked for my friends to stay with them. I live in the small narrow house that only 2 people is available to stay but we need 5 friends to stay to reduce money expend. I never thought from day to day. What I need to do beside of my study? I have no ambition for my future when living with them. Living in the rent house with the people comes from the remote area, want to learn much more about leisure in Phnom Penh and always go outside when have free time. My futures seem like a firefly. Since this time I always find a scholarship in everywhere until I found ACE. Thanks so much for recruited me as the scholarship student and thanks so much for more experience living at the rent house. During one year, I’m doing as the admin assistance. ACE provided me a lot of things, what I lack of, and leadership. In this course I knew the way we live in society using communication, self-confident, getting to know myself, set goal for future. Attitude Forum is also importance for lead me to be proud to make communication with each other, know how to solve problem when it occurs.
Those things have been happened to my life. Over one year a go! I have been living at Attitude Centre for Education. I feel very happy, that ACE gives me one more year to stay. Thanks for electricity, supporting materials, good advice, a perfect dorm, special training, fresh environment, good friends, communication, working group and to be a leader.
Now a day, on the fifth November, I’m going to be the third year student in the field of Civil Engineering only one more year later I will be graduate and I wish I could continue to study abroad related to my field.
By the end, my bright future is being happened because of your support. Thanks so much for your helps, especially Mr Saing Sokchea thank for let me know let me clear.
