Suos Sreyni is female, 6 years old studying at the kindergarten level A that is the class for new comers who have never experienced the school at all before. Currently, she lives with her parents, a 9 year-old brother and a grandmother in Tuol Samnang village, Vor Sar commune, Samraong Tong district, Kampong Speu province. Sreyni has only one 9-year-old elder brother. She has suffered from meningitis and other chronic diseases for 3 years. After 3 year she was born, she had a lot of sicknesses. Another health issue she is facing is that she is unable to speak as clearly as other children. She stutters and drawls because her tongue is uniquely big. With these health problems, Sreyni’s study is not good because her memory is bad and especially in the class she has difficulty speaking due to her big tongue. However, she always has enough school materials and maintains them in good order, pays attention to her education, obeys the teacher and gets on well with her classmates and friends. At home, Sreyni is a good daughter. She helps her parents and grandmother with small work like cleaning the house and feeding the chicken. At school she wants to be a good student and a good friend. She tries hard to learn, listen to her teacher’s advice and shows her love to her classmates and she never has any dispute with her friends. At home in free time, her parents take a little time to help teach her how to write and read the lessons and urge her to do homework because they want their daughter to get knowledge and to be able to speak a lot. She is very happy to have a chance to study in KAD center that teaches her to read and write both Khmer literature and English language. Here she also has a lot of friends. Sreyni is raring to get up to higher education so that she can have enough capacity. She wants to be a teacher when she grows up because she wants to make much money to feed her parents when they grow older and older and when they become incapacitated. In order to attain her purpose, she would determine to learn harder to become the best student, to struggle against all difficulties and obstacles, to respect the parents and to act as a good child. She said that nowadays she pitied her parents who worked hard to feed her and that she would repay them when she was full-grown.
