Dear Ki-Media crews and Khmerization,
My name is Vichhay Khiev, a Junior year student at Lafayette College. I am a major in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in Mathematics. I am 21 years old. I attended "Santhor Mok High School" in Cambodia, but I left when I was in 10th grade. Since then I have been in the United States for almost 7 years. English is always my major obstacle; I did not learn English until I arrive to USA. I went directly to high school. Although, it was very difficult in those four terrible years, I managed to finish high school in the top 10% in the Prince George County, MD. Despite of my commitment fighting for success I receive a Full Scholarship to attend one of the prestige Colleges.
I am a big fan of Ki-media and Khmerization blog. I am really inspired by your work. I respect your commitment toward improving freedoms of our country. I am very motivated every time I read your blog posts about the achievements of hard working individuals.
Cambodian-Americans have a very large high school dropout rate and very low college graduation rate. This statistic is disturbing to me. That is the reason why I am writing this message to you. I also have some small achievements that I want to share with the world, and I hope these achievements can inspire some individuals to work harder.
I am wondering whether you can post my accomplishments on Ki-media.blogspot.com. My intention is to use my own accomplishments to inspire others.
I am a member of Posse scholarship foundation. Every year the foundation asks me to nominate 10 outstanding students who live in following states: California, Georgia, Massachusetts, Illinois, Maryland, Virginia, New York, Florida and Washington D.C. Student must be in 11th grade in order to qualify for this Scholarship. If anyone happens to know any outstanding Cambodian Students you can send me the information about those students. I will definitely nominate them for the scholarship competition. I am really wanted to help our Cambodian students to get a better education.

Congratulation for your achievements.

Congratulation !!! I'm very proud of you. Can any outstanding student from Cambodia be nominated for this competition? Or any other opportunity you have identified to help Khmer poor students get scholarship?
Vichhay, congratulation for a great achievement. It's good to hear a Khmer child like you has made a very impressive achievement that could be an inspiration to other Khmer kids. Please keep up the good work.
Wow.. Thank You so much Ki-media's crews for posting my work.
9:59am: I'm sorry this is a domestic scholarship, that's mean only students who are living in following states are qualify: "California, Georgia, Massachusetts, Illinois, Maryland, Virginia, New York, Florida and Washington D.C. Student must be in 11th grade in order to qualify for this Scholarship"
chai
This student is currently in Massachusetts and she ranks in the top 50, can i nominate her?
1:51 am: Yes, as long the student is currently in 11 grade. I'm not really worry about his/her rank in school.. If you think the student is working hard... that should be good enough. Can you send me the student's information?
