After the Taliban regained power in 2021, many girls in Afghanistan could not go to school, and I was one of them.

At first, we could still take exams, and I hoped girls could continue going to school, but soon the doors of schools and universities really closed to us.

I often walked to the school gate, looking from afar at classmates, teachers, and classrooms, feeling very sad inside.

Why can't girls have the most basic right to learn?

Later, with the support of my family, I went to a secret English center in Herat to study.

The teachers were very brave, secretly teaching girls English.

After studying for a year, my English improved a lot, and I even started teaching other girls English.
