Senior Student Highlight: Kong Monireach

Kong Monireach (Academic Year 2022-2023) – The final chapter​
Favorite Quote: “The moments that passed like nothing became precious memories that returned” – Sing Shong​

One interesting fact about Monireach is that he likes reading, playing chess and football, and grilling meat. He usually reads books and plays chess during his leisure time. His favorite memory is the 2022 prom and the trip to Siem Reap with the 2022 senior students. Besides his study, Monireach used to be the football club’s captain, the chess club’s vice president, and a newspaper club member. He enjoyed doing all these works while teaching himself not to be attached to his phone.​

Moreover, one of the subjects that Monireach liked the most was AP Calculus because the teacher was passionate and determined to teach that course to the students. He found that their carings encouraged him and his classmates to strive better. However, this subject is also one of the most challenging subjects for him because it didn’t allow a single miscalculation, and he had to be extra careful when working on this subject’s assignments.​

Monireach told us that although AP Seminar wasn’t the most enjoyable, it is one of the subjects proven beneficial regardless of the major field and continues to be in every stage of life. The teachers taught him to write academic research papers, debates, and presentations, which helped him to learn many skills. After graduating from AUPPHS-FA, Monireach plans to rest properly and enjoy every bit of life before heading for his university life. As a senior, his message to his juniors is, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” by Ferris Bueller. For Monireach, this quote is for his juniors to be confident and enjoy high school because office work will not be fun. He also wants them to trust their crew and make friends because living alone in this sad world is impossible.
