Imagine Freedom
Panhavut Chim
CambodiaGALLERYCONVERSATION
“It’s auspicious for your generation to have a chance to study more, so work hard for your education and your brighter future,”
“I never had the opportunity to attend any school. However, I gave birth to children with a desire for knowledge, such as your father.”
“Once you have a family and children, you need to be responsible. So if you choose to travel, you will not have enough time to take care of them. It’s better to stay with your family. However, I don’t forbid you to walk on your track. We will still support you, although you’re old enough to manage your own life. We have only you — our sole daughter — and we do everything just for you.”
“Life is meaningless unless the light of fulfillment inside you rises up. Imagine all you can, for it’s all you can do.”
I wore goggles, so I could see the beam illuminating the water. It appeared like a crystal-clear glass enabling me to see everything deeply. Oblivious to the men who were swimming in the same pool, other young Cambodian women were happily learning to swim, just as I was. We were more courageous than the older generation, who lived in the city where there was no pool.
