Sam Vatanak is one of the outstanding students at AUPPHS-FA who learned programming at a young age. Khmer Cultural and History Class are one of his favorite classes because the teacher is friendly and he really enjoys learning the history of Cambodia. Besides his study, Vatanak enjoys doing community service and decorating events. One of the memorable community services that he did was the 8 hours services that he did with his friends in Kampot. Moreover, he also helped decorate the Halloween event at school.

During his study here, Vatanak finds that the AP Seminar subject is one of the most challenging subjects because there are many works to do like writing essays and doing research. Even though Vatanak likes all his classes here, he thinks that the Robotics class prepared him the most for his life after high school because it’s in accordance with his study plans when he goes to university. After graduating from AUPPHS-FA, Vatanak is going to study Information and Communications Technology (ICT) program at the American University of Phnom Penh (AUPP). Vatanak is a talented and versatile young man whose advice for his contemporaries is: “Enjoy your high school life and don’t procrastinate on your work.”
