Being Cambodian, Being me, Being the World!~


Prompt: Being Cambodian means different things to different people. What does being a Cambodian mean to you?

There aren't much to say about this topic, either. As you know, being someone or something, is what you were meant for - which you could never change. For me, being a Cambodian was like in the middle line. If only you took one wrong step, you'd be in the bad side. But if you only had the right one, you were like the best of all.
Well, there are reasons for that saying. The good side of being a Cambodian was that we fight for things we own, and agree to things that are right. And the bad side of it was that not most of them were one of those kinds. In fact, all countries were like that, they weren't always the best. The richest country in the world also had gangs and criminals- so why is it unusual for Cambodia? The thing is bad helps us to success. If the world are always peace, we won't improve.

Diseases- like you all know, were the reasons why men created medicines as well as vaccines. If there weren't any diseases, will there have any medicines? So, gangs and such didn't matter the fact that our country and citizens are truth and justice. There might be rumors saying Cambodians know nothing- but being Cambodian like us- why would we care for that such of harassment.. they were saying bad about us just because they were jealous and instead of us know nothing, they were!
Being born into Cambodia wasn't bad at all. In school, we played like we were friends, despite of the cursing we all had for each other- it was only that we like that friend and wanted to be close to them. In the neighborhood, we shared, we smiled, we were kind to each other. But one thing I wasn't sure for was that are all of this the same for other countries? There might be some- but not most of them. So now, do you understand? Our country have freedom, we can do anything we want and have everything we need. Our country has improved a lot.
Even so, we still need the criticisms, and thanks to them, we have the effort to change ourselves into the best of all.

That's all for today's topic of being a Cambodian. It was short but I hope somewhat it was meaningful to all of the Cambodians out there no matter where they are in the world! Be the world!!!
