If I Could Turn back Time

If I could turn back time I would probably travel when I reach the age of eighteen and… …I would go to Cambodia and live there with the Khmers. I would study their culture and history and work with them and maybe volunteer so I could appreciate the life that I have in the Philippines. [...]
