My name is Maya, I was born in Kampong Thom, Cambodia. I currently live and learn in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. I believe that football is the only sport that could brings peace, freedom, growth mindset, and success into the community.
Curiosity, Defined, Resolve. These words are the most things that people can make change in their country. It is easy for people to develop their skills and make change in the community but it is difficult for the people to take what they known to change their community. I leaned in Liger for five years already, and this was what they taught me from the past. I learned many subjects in Liger, Math, Physics, Khmer, and English literacy. I also enjoy training football in Liger, I learned a lot from football such as working in a team, how to be a good leader.
The passion of playing football, it teaches me to be Responsible and Respectful in order to be a Change Agent for this wonderful country, Cambodia. I felt excited whenever the ball is with me, and I can live without anything beside a football.
