An interesting fact about Chakrayut is that he used to be a Twitch streamer back in middle school—and even made it into their affiliate program before deciding to quit.
His favorite subject at AUPPHS-FA is P.E., not just because it’s easy, but because he genuinely loves athletics and dreams of becoming an athlete. His most challenging project was the Research Capstone, which he found incredibly time-consuming—especially now that he has less free time than before.
He believes English will prepare him most for life after high school, as he plans to become a copywriter, where strong communication skills are essential. Since many business interactions will happen online, mastering English is a must. He also has ambitions to break into the entertainment industry, where English will help him connect with a global audience.
Outside of school, he focuses on boxing and building his copywriting business, already acquiring clients and gaining experience.
One of his favorite memories at AUPPHS-FA is dressing up as Jesus for Halloween. He found it hilarious and loved making people smile as “the man himself.”
After graduation, Chakrayut plans to turn his copywriting hustle into a full-fledged agency and explore new business ventures. He also aims to kick off his amateur boxing career as a stepping stone to going pro—his dream is to become Cambodia’s first Olympic medalist and undisputed boxing champion.
His advice to juniors at AUPPHS-FA is real and heartfelt: “Look, I know you’re at that time in life where there’s a lot of noise and frustration. Be EASY on yourself and focus on what truly matters to YOU. Don’t give a squat about what others say—unless it’s constructive and from someone who’s already where YOU want to be. Love yourself, work hard, and be kind.”
