Hello! My Name is Ouk Dara. I was born in 1991 in Preah Sihanouk Province. I grew up with two brothers. I have too many cousin for both side. The person in a small neighborhood that consisted of a bunch of adults, I never really learned what it meant to just be a kid. And I certainly never learned how to relate to other children. May be I have no chance or I don't want.
Accustomed to being around primarily adults, I was always mature for my age. Even my own friends often annoyed me during my adolescent years. I had a lot of people who invested in me, and I never think I could, people around me think I did well in school, because I often knowing how to do complex math problems before the concept had even been introduced to our class. Looking back, I’m sure there are many student know me because of that, but unfortunately, none of them think to me as a real friend.
High School
In high school, I began to tire of the pressure placed on me by my family and their high expectations. I gradually stopped my extra-curricular activities, including music and art lessons, and chose to work instead, lucky is not at my side. Not just high school, but from grade 1-12, I never get at the top of class. I always get top 5, but never the first one. I graduated in 2009 with 94 on 105 of score, although I wasn't valedictorian—perhaps because I didn't want to give my overbearing family the satisfaction. After finished grade 12, only one thing I really worry about is what I should do next. My classmate always ask me about the subject I want to study at the university and what I want to be in the future, but I answer them in difference way. By getting some idea from my parents, I finally decided to learn Informatics Economics at Royal University of Law and Economics at Phnom Penh. (That's the beginning of the worse life)
University Life
In first year college, I have nearly 100 classmates, but only few that talk with me as classmate. That's not affect my feeling cause sitting alone, walking alone, doing most thing alone is what I always did since I was a child. May be they think I want to be alone, bu that's a wrong idea. I am not the machine, I am a human, and we are the same. " no one want to be a lonely person ". In year 2, most student in class change the major and left only 30-40 students. In year 3, some other decide to change to other major and some change to study at another university. There are only 20-30 students remain include me. The reason that made them to change is not mean that skill is hard to learn, but it's hard to learn a none specific skill major. Finally, I become a top three student again among the worse class in school. I graduated with a poor GPA of 3.
Future
I was never one who saw myself with a family. Not wanting to be tied down by the constraints of a wife and kids, I always assumed I’d never marry. I'm not a robot, I have heart, and I know what is love. But I always act like I never love, cause my goal is freedom and to make my parents happy beside marry.
In the future, I really know what I want to be. I just want to make my parents happy. I just want to earn and live to die.
Job and Hobby
Now a day, I'm finding a job. I did some interview already, and some I passed and some fail, but I didn't decide where I should work yet. I really hate interviewer ask about strong and weak point of applicants. If I tell you my strong, it's mean I proud of myself. I think that is not good. If I tell you my weakness, will you choose me to work. Or you just chose applicant that don't have weak point.
Does any one know how to answer this question? please tell me!
About my interest hobby, I like reading, listening to music, computing, researching, learning new technology, playing game, and soccer.
