<strong>Courage</strong> means fighting, using your ability <strong>and</strong> diligence to overcome any<br />
obstacles that happen to all <strong>of</strong> us at home <strong>and</strong> at school. We must defeat<br />
these obstacles.<br />
I am a student who has been attending <strong>The</strong> Cambridge Cambodia School<br />
in Kauk Rovieng village. When I was in 4th grade, I was not good at studying<br />
my school lessons because my parents are farmers <strong>and</strong> were struggling with<br />
poverty. My parents taught <strong>and</strong> disciplined me to try to study hard because<br />
knowledge is the only vehicle to bridge me to a brighter future.<br />
While I was being educated my parents worked hard to inspire me, <strong>and</strong> I felt<br />
so much compassion for them. That compassion forced me to overcome any<br />
obstacles to success at school. With this courage from my parents, I have been<br />
studying English, Chinese, <strong>and</strong> other languages at school. I am absolutely<br />
thrilled with these good results that have come from what I’ve learned from<br />
school <strong>and</strong> my family. My lovely parents are very delighted to see the good<br />
results that I have received from my great teachers, <strong>and</strong> they feel great hope<br />
for my future.<br />
I am proud <strong>of</strong> <strong>and</strong> grateful to my parents for teaching me this courage to<br />
defeat obstacles <strong>and</strong> improve my ability to study. I would like to <strong>of</strong>fer my<br />
huge thanks to those who have always educated <strong>and</strong> supported me in finding<br />
courage in myself.<br />
