Description: The first day that we started to learn our Exploration everyone was very excited. Our Exploration studied with teacher Jo, Sambath and Channa. Our Exploration learned about Biography. Biography is studying about the other person’s life. Biography group worked together and shared ideas that we had. For example: we went on a trip and searched the information in computer. When we interviewed we used the strategy to understand about the other person’s life like listening strategy, asking questions and interviewing. We learned how to interview the people, by writing down the notes, how to be a good photographer and a good questionnaire. When we interviewed the people already we not just write down notes in our book. We also learned to make a documentary in the iMovie program. Some people worked on the information that they got too but they did it in Powerpoint program. The reason we wanted to do like this because in the future if we forget what we have we can look in the documentary of the other people life. The people that we interviewed were:Sophal’s uncle (the older person and now he does not do anything because his leg is hurt), Sophal’s sister-in-law (now she not do anything but she works at her house), Sophal (works in Liger cleaning the school), Simian (works in Liger cleaning the school) and Houy (also works at cleaning Liger too). We had many different people that we interviewed but we only give example some of the people. We took the trip to go to the pagoda near our school to interview the monks in that pagoda. It was so fun for the Biography group. Our group studied only six weeks. Every day during Exploration time the students worked hard and studied new things a lot. In this Exploration all of the students are not lazy, they are active and helpful. We all were really happy to study about biography and now help us have a knowledge and a lot of the experience that we thought.

Exploration Name: Future Jobs
Exploration Dates: January 20th – March 7th
Number of Students: 12
Essential Questions:
1. How will jobs that help Cambodia look different in the future?
2. What motivates people to choose the job they do?

Description: During the round four exploration we learned about Future Jobs. In Future Jobs we had to develop the presentation questions (ask more questions). We asked more questions because in our Exploration we had a lot of trips that taught us about the jobs in the real life. After that we learned about Nanotechnology, Water crisis and Alternative fuels. Nanotechnology is smaller than atoms. One thing we learned was that it is waterproof and can go underground without breaking. In Water crisis topic we learned that 70% of the Earth is seawater and 30% is land. But just 3% is good water. 884 million people don’t have good water and nearly 1,000,000,000 don’t have water. The last topic was Alternative fuel. We noticed that the gas can live 60 years, oil can live 60 years and coal can live 1000 years. Last we prepared for our job shadow on the next day. Job shadow means to go to the real place of work to do the job with the people that are in the job that helps Cambodia a lot. All of us went to different places with our partner. For example, some of us went to World Vision and some went to Northbridge International School.

About me

Since the age of 10 until now, I would define myself as circuit, code, robot, and determination. When I little I had a struggle to find what is my destination looks like, but right now I found a path where I move like an electron into difference transistors in my CPU. I have a really strong passionate on controlling various voltages and current by codes. At Liger I sleep with codes, eat with circuits, walk on my determination road and think of the future.

I found out that education is really important to me especially getting on hands with the actual object instead of theories. Contemporary, after finish the Liger Leadership Academy, seeking for a scholarship for a university is my number one major. I found out that independent learning is an astonishing strategy to learn, but having some twigs from mentors and teachers would improve the ability to get an advance on it.

My name is Visal, and I am 15. In the next three years, I will be one of the grounded pillars of my country, Cambodia, and my intention from now on is to create a positive change in this country. Even though it seems difficult, but if we keep changing things step by step, I believe our ambition will get closer and closer. Thank you!
