Liger Leadership Academy students are English Language Learners. They have been immersed in English for over five years but are still developing grammar and fluency. At Liger, we pride ourselves on prioritizing process over product. Please excuse any English errors as part of the learning continuum our students have taken over the years.
My name is Sovannary. I have dreamed of becoming a lawyer since I was 10, but everything changed once I entered Liger Leadership Academy in 2012.
Passion, creativity, and determination are my foundation. I teach myself to be strong, to be passionate in every subject area, to be a role model for my next cohort and most importantly to take advantage of my opportunities in order to become a strong change agent for Liger and Cambodia. Over the last few years, I have taken lots of different classes (science, physics, history, coding, art, etc), but I found myself strong in science and social communication. I like working with many different people from all over the country to solve current problems and discuss solutions. For example, I have spoken at various meetings for Impact Hub about environmental problems in Phnom Penh.
I love social networking and communications, but I also like fashion. I spent some time doing recycled fashion and technology fashion which require lots of skills in art, sewing, and basic codes. The greatest challenge in my life is discovering who I am. The second greatest challenge is being happy with I discover, even if it doesn’t fit my dreams as a child.
