Brief Background

My family fled Cambodia during the late 1970's escaping from the Khmer Rouge regime let by Pol Pot. We first fled to a refugee camp in neighboring Thailand, where in 1981 I was born. In 1983, after many years in various refugee camps throughout Southeast Asia, we arrived in America ready to start our new future...

Many years have now passed... Although, I've had a lot of great experiences during those years, I've also had to face some obstacles and losses in life. These experiences, both good ones and difficult ones, along with the values I have learned from my parents and family have shaped me into who I am today.

Currently I am a senior at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. I look forward to graduating very soon. One of the things that I would like to do after graduation is to go visit Cambodia for the very first time. I love the Cambodian culture -- the arts, history, and its people. I would like to experience it first hand and see my roots.
