Sayorn is 22-years-old and the child of Cambodian refugees. His parents came here during the 1970s when the nation's ruling party at the time, the Khmer Rouge, orchestrated a genocide that killed up to 3 million people. Working through what he feels is secondary PTSD, Sayorn has a part-time job and attends Bates Technical College to get his GED. Eventually, he wants to get a degree in environmental science to become a park ranger or zoologist, open up a coconut store, and become a boxing champion of the world.
