“I feel like being run over by a train: how couldn't I see, or care? I have much more than I need when it comes to material things as well as opportunities. I can basically do everything I want. Sure, my parents can still tell me where to go or what to do, but they don‟t impose their views on me. They will never marry me off. They will never forbid me to go to school. They will always do their best to make sure I‟ll be happy, healthy and safe.
And what have I done to deserve all this?
Absolutely nothing.
It was a chance of luck, and that makes me responsible toward those who have not been as lucky as me.”

“My life has always been so easy. Everything here is so simple.
Problems are not really problems. I‟ve never felt cornered, hurt or threatened in my whole life. If someone would abuse me, or scare me, like a bully, I could always get the help of a parent or a teacher, or even the police.
I admire Basya so much.
I don‟t know how she can be so strong, then I realize she has no choice. The alternative is giving up, and she‟ll never give up.
She could stop her education like her friend Silsila”

“I guess I was just a child and did my best to play, despite the worry and sorrow in my family. I remember the way Mama Jan used to put the burqa on, as it was really heavy, so heavy that she may collapse under its weight. And one day I asked her if she needed help because the burqa seemed to be very heavy. She looked at me with very sad eyes and murmured that yes, wearing it was very heavy. I didn’t understand the meaning of her words back then, but I do now.”

“There are families who marry their daughters off, or sell them to work as
prostitutes, so they can buy things like a television.”
I can‟t believe this. Grandpa seems to read my mind because he smiles, but it‟s
a sad smile. He then whispers: “I can‟t comprehend either. How could we? But
it‟s not for us to judge these people. We don‟t live their lives. We can‟t really
know their struggles, nor completely understand their ways of life, their culture
and traditions.”
