Tuon Sopheachanmealdey (Academic Year of 2021-2022)
Favorite Quote: “You cannot control what other people think of you, what you can control is how you respond and react to the situation.”

As one of our AUPPHS-FA students, Mealdey thinks that most of the classes are very important because she gained solid knowledge and practical experiences to apply in real world situation. She is very fond of the lessons and all the teachers, especially Mrs. Veronica, as she is an organized and intelligent teacher, and always ensures that her students understand the lesson very well.

Baking is one of Mealdey’s favorite hobbies. Baking has helped her go through tough times, relieved stress, increased her well-being, and added meaning to her life as it allows her to connect with people. Mealdey is also very active and involves in many extracurricular activities such as volunteering at a book fair, doing an internship, doing charity work, and teaching high school students about social issues in different provinces. As a senior student, Mealdey’s advice for her juniors is “There’s so much more to high school life than just getting the best grades. Go out and do the stuff that heals your soul, activities that make your heart feel full and warm, reach out to people when you need help, make friends, challenge yourself and get out of your comfort zone, surround yourself with inspiring and motivating people, and the list goes on. However, the most important thing is to be true and be kind to yourself and don’t forget to have fun.”
