Saory is a young girl was born on 11th April 2001in Krangthom village, Ou Sandan commune Krakor district, Pursat province. 

She has 3 siblings and she is the oldest daughter in the family. Nowadays, she lives with her old grandma. Her grandma is doing some farming and making rice cake to sell in order to feed the family. Her parents were divorced and each of them has been re-married. Her father is a worker in Thailand with his new wife, and left his son (with the second wife) with his mother in his village. Soary’s mother works as dish washing lady at the restaurant in Phnom Penh. Saory is living with her grandma’s mother side and her two other brothers are living with their grandma, her father side. 

Saory is a strong young girl, she loves studying very much. I always spend sometimes meeting with her and discuss about her study, because I want to see Saory has a brighter future despite I sometimes have to challenges with her own mother in order to keep her in school, while trying to explain her mother of how importance education is to her own daughter. 

Her mother wants her to quit school since grade 9, but I always try to encourage Saory and trying to inspire her to not give up on her study because I think, only education is a one way ticket to change someone’s life to the better. Even though, she was born poor and her living situation is difficult, and her life is full of struggles, but she always value education every much. She rides her old bike and wears old cloth to school with her old bag but her face is full of hope and patient.  

She is just a young rural girl with full of patient and dreams with a clear life’s plans. She loves studies with just listening, reading or observing or practice, she always did it well. She has a good manner and always use the good knowledge she has learned to apply in her daily life. All of these reasons that inspired me to support her to continue her higher education with the skill she loves. 

I believe that she will become from the struggle young girl to be a young woman full of capacity and potentials and would become a role model for young people in her community and our society and especially will become a good role model for many young girls who are struggling to fight for a better future through education just like herself.
