My name is Cheng. I am 15 years old. I have
one sister who lives with my mom. I go and
visit them every weekend on sunday morning.
I like making
friends, but I don't like staying alone. I study
many subjects at Aziza's Place: English, Computer Studies,
Math, Khmer, History, Art, Music, Dance, Football,
Karate and Filming. I like listening to English
music, watching English movies and playing sports
like football, basketball and volleyball. I
enjoy studying every subject in AP, especially
English, Math and Computer Studies.
In the future,
I want to continue my studies at University
in England because this country has the best
universities. I went to England on 13 August
2011. My flight was not bad and it was my first
time on an airplane. It was very nice in London,
I had a lot of fun. I went to see Big Ben, the
London Eye, the aquarium and I went to see a
movie. I spent one day in Manchester. I went
to visit my English teacher Hayley and she took
me to play ice skating. It was fun and I fell
down 3 times. Everything in London is very different
from Cambodia, like traffic, building, food
or weather.

guy.

My name is Chiev. I am 17 years old. I live
in Cambodia in Phnom Penh.
I like doing
something fun and watching hollywood movies.
I like babies and children. I like making movies,
singing, making songs and I also like travels
or fieldtrips. I like doing good things. I don't
like having problems with other people. I don't
like someone who says bad words and bad things
about my family and I.
I study Khmer,
Math, English, Computer Studies, Football, Karate,
Film. When I have free time, I like thinking
to make a concept and making house models. My
expectations for my future: I want to be an
architect and a film maker, also sing songs.
In Aziza's Place, I like studying and living
because it is a beautiful place for children
to live and study. I had a dream. When I
grow up and have a business, I want to help poor
people and make schools for their children to
have a chance to study. I want to be a famous
singer in this world, to make movies and documentaries
about Khmer to show the people about Cambodia.
Those are all my dreams.
Nothing makes
me angry because everyone in this world makes
mistakes and makes their family, friend, brother
and sister upset or angry. I know that so that's
why when someone does something wrong against
me, I am happy to talk to him or her. But the
bad things make me unhappy. If you do good things
and make a little mistake, it is ok.

they gave me a place to grow and learn. They
also help my sister. My dream is that I want
to help my family and make them happy. This
