I’ve experienced that. When I was four, I fell into a well behind my house. Fortunately, my father found me as soon as I was about to sink.

Muslikhun was left by her mother when she was seven. She spent her days with her beloved father. She felt happy with the ordinary life.

In 2004, she got the first rank on the graduation. All people watched her deliver a speech. They were full of tears to watch it since her parents couldn’t come to the graduation.

In 2007, she felt the world not fair for she couldn’t continue her study to the senior high school. Her father asked her to run the small business he had. It was a very small stall in which he sold rice “megono”.
