Entrepreneurship is very important and it’s my first Exploration in Liger Leadership Academy too. Before I didn’t like Entrepreneur and I hate making business. But now It changed me a lot. I learned so many things and I made many things that help to solve the problem and also help Cambodian people. In my exploration, there are 15 students and I have a teacher name, Keith. He a very nice teacher and also very handsome. He teaches me some main thing about Entrepreneur. What makes their product popular what make them have a lot of customers. What makes them succeed. We started to brainstorm the idea how we can make the product that can help Cambodian people. A lot of people have a different idea. and they go to think with the teacher. Finally, I got the idea my idea is very strange. I want to make the magic ruler.

In that ruler, there is a lot more thing. At the front of the ruler it has the pen and the back it has an eraser. ’’I want to make this ruler because of a lot of people that is poor they don’t have much money to buy a pen, ruler, and also eraser if we sell this to the poor people they can just buy it just one tool and they can have three tools in it”. I present to my teacher. And he said This is a very good idea actually but I have to know that in my product I have to buy three things to make once so if I sell it for a cheap prize. I didn’t get any profit back. But you did a very great job. Finally, I got my team and we started to brainstorm again. And our first product was a small cabinet from a 3D printer. So I need to study how to use it. It’s was very hard So I decide to make it from cardboard I And I have another product that already has a prototype called Pencil holder. For many many days, I and my team have an idea that we should change our product because it takes a lot of time to make one. So we decide again to make a keychain. And I make 10 of it. After that, we go to Impact hub at Phnom Penh. There are a lot of Entrepreneur that working there. We going to get some feedback about our product. and they didn’t buy my product but they have some feedback for us. We sold 1.25$ for one. They said You didn’t want to cut or sand the bamboo into shape because it can cut our hand when we hold it. So I and my team come back home and stop cutting it into another shape.

We made 15 to 20 of the new one. And we sold it for the same prize. For two to three day we go to the school called CIA First and we take our product to sell. My new product was sold out for 10 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so surprising. We got 70,000 real in our bag. And the student just comes and started to want to buy more. We went there for 2 hours and we came back with a happy face. When I come back my teacher Keith told us that we should sell it for 2$ and we decide it sell for 2$ and it also so cheap for them!!!!! They started to want to buy more of them. We got around 10 thousand real after this exploration. This is a good experience.

“The more Thing You learn The more thing you know” This quote helps me to learn the different thing or different subject that I didn’t want to do or learn. Everybody was so happy with the new exploration that they will have in the next week. And I was so happy too. Everybody run very fast to go to see the name of the exploration that they in. I run very fast to see. After seeing the name of exploration the happy face started to remove from my face.” Geography Exploration!!!!!!” I said it out loud. Geography is talking about the study of the physical features of the earth. I was so boring when I heard about Geography exploration and I scared it all day. I also wish every day to let me get into another Exploration.

“Monday is up!!!ready for a new Exploration Phearum!!!”. My geography teacher is talking to me as I walked slowly to the geography room. It’s was a lot of map in there and there is a lot of vocabulary about geography. But after my teacher talks for 10 minutes, I was wrong!!!!!. It’s not learning about the new vocabulary of geography. In this exploration, we learned about making a book called “ Cambodia geography book”.In our exploration, we were working on the western region of Cambodia that has six province which is Kampong Chhnang, Kampong Speu, Battambang, Banteay Meanchey, Pailin, and Pursat. First of all, we are looking for the five them that have Location in spatial terms, Places and Regions, Physical Systems, Human systems & Movement, Environment and society.

Disability is my third Exploration and it a very interesting topic to learn.  However, Before I never know anything about disability but because of this topic, I know something that I never know before and it is a big mistake for me to say to the people without a disability. the word is ” Normal ” Normal is not a good word to describe the people without disability if we said the word “Normal” it means you have divided the people into two group. We can say “typical people” it is a good word to say to the people. This is only one word that I learn from this exploration. We have a lot of fun activity to play in the exploration to test how it feels like to have a disability. We also try to contact the organization that help people with disability to visit and one of the organizations that we went to is called Exceed

Before this organization called Cambodia trust. Exceed is the organization that makes Prosthetic and orthotic. Prosthetic is mean missing arm or leg that you need the new hole one. an orthotic is mean you have the arm or leg but it’s disableds orthotic support them from hurt. They can produce Prosthetic or Orthotic from 1 to 2 per day. At the end of this exploration, we went to the government school in Phnom Penh to do a presentation about what we learn in this exploration.
