IT, Information Technology...

It's funny when I was first selected to apply to go with IT field and I first thought that it's related to something about broadcasting or doing thing on newspaper. Let me told you something at the time I was at high school. Get back to early 2010 when I was a grade 12 student at Samdech Euv high school where I spend my high school life 3 years there. Around February, it's the time when all students were struggle to study in order to prepare themselves for the first semester exam as well as the time to decide which field and which university they prefer to go after BACII (high school degree). I remembered I was very nervous because I was one of students who didn't have any clear goal both of life and study. The reason made me felt that because I remembered one of my cousin did told me "You don't need to have a long term plan, you just need to complete your current job, then you will see what you gonna do next, they choose it and go for it, that's it!". It's inspired me as I am not the one who like to plan a lot.

The tough time came to me that I needed to choose 3 preferable majors to go after BACII. I spent only a few days thinking of what subjects I like. That time I did choose Agriculture at Royal University of Augriculture, Environmental at Royal University of Phnom Penh and the last choice was Information Technology (IT) at National University of Management, all of them are located in Phnom Penh. At the same time, I was also interested in applying a scholarship of IT in an French NGO called Centre for Information System Training (CIST) in Phnom Penh which now changed to Passerelles numeriques Cambodia, after I did attend a orientation at Enfant Du Mekong (EDM), a partner that NGO I was about to apply the application to. You may noticed that all my applications were focused to Phnom Penh, WHY? Because I was trying to find whatever way to get to know Phnom Penh; my goal is to know Phnom Penh, haha.

Briefly description here, I passed an IT scholarship to study at CIST. Here, I was still not clear what I would learn about. You know, in my mind, I just thought that it's related to news, becoming a reporter or something like this. Until I arrive the campus, I realized that IT is about computer, technology...

IT is not about writing a news article or reporting news.
