🤹♀️ Yalda's Hobbies
*Story of my life*
My name is Yalda, and I am 21 years old from Kabul province.I graduated from Zarqhona High School in 2021, although I faced numerous difficulties both during and after my schooling.
I was a diligent student, consistently achieving first position in my class, despite being born into a poor family.
As I mentioned,I had faced to lots of difficulties during my school time,now I am going to tell you some of that such as walking through a long distance from our home to my school approximately half an hour.Everyday I did the same and even one day my leg got injured and had severe pain.Its pain increased during the night and I was awake until 4:00 AM.
Other problem I encouraged to is :not having any useful device to execute my homeworks for instance, notebook,mobile and computer.
Fortunately, my uncle bought 18 notebooks for me and I could write my assignments.
It helped me a little,but still I had the problem of not having phone for translating the words that I did not know their meanings and also searching for informations I had needed about my homework. Some times I visited my neighbor for gaining help for finding information.
In addition,I had lots of competitors during my school age that no one of them loved me and just had hated me and had such a harsh and terrible behavior with me.
Furthermore, I had interested to learn English but unfortunately my family did not let me to go to course due to prevailing poverty.Unappily, my father is illiterate and he always tortured me in case of my learning and say"don't go to learning center.Learning is not for for girls.You have to stay at home and do house choruses." I suffer a lot from this situation,but I tried to stay strong and tried to find free learning services.
Luckily, I found a learning center with the name of City of knowledge.
I studied Math and English for 5 months there.After that the learning center was crushed and I started to find another learning center.I could find a new learning center Modaser cultural center.
This center gave me discount for those students that have high score in class.
I was also among those top students in school and this was a good opportunity for me.I had payed 150 AFN per each month.I could accomplish CEL in this center.
To point one another bad day during my school out, I can state that it was my 11 grade(1399).One day that year some news had been broadcasted and it was the probability of attacking of the terrorists on girl's schools.On that time my family did not let me to go to school for a week and on that time I always thought that I would never restart my school due to security issues, but after a week one of my friends had came to my home and start telling me and my mom that Yalda come on come to school regularly. Do not think about security issues.
Are not these students who go to our school everyday girls?Why you ignore going to school.With her speeches I got relaxed and I restarted going to school.
I studied hard.I harbored dreams of becoming a doctor,not only to support my family but also to aid the sick in their journey to health.Schoo. was my sanctuary.
However, everything changed during the final exam of my 12th class when the Taliban seized power in August 2021.
I lost my drive to study and pursue my ambitions.In that time most of people Kabul went to airport for traveling to abroad without any document.One day of that times all of my family decided let's go to airport maybe we will be lucky and we would travel.But we couldn't, in that day Taliban hitting people and didn't allow to enter the airport.Fortunately, we rescued from a blast in that day,15 minutes before the blast we left the airport ad we came to home.
I was so disappointed when the Taliban came.Because of, for three months,I remained home, and refraining from attending any courses.
Later,strict courses for girls opened,enforcing rules like wearing burqas and maintaining separation from boy's classes.I enrolled in a Kankoor class for eight months, enduring frequent visits by the Taliban,who checked for gender segregation.
Despite lacking support from my family and facing discouragement from relatives and friends who believed the Taliban wouldn't allow girls to take exams, I remained undeterred,focused solely on my studies and goals.
In 2021,the Kankoor exam was announced,and fortunately,girls were allowed to participate. I sat for the exam at Polytechnic University,scoring 319 marks and securing a place in Stomatology at Kabul Medical University.
My life has been struggled, but I aspire to both a scholarship and study abroad.
However, I lack a TOEFL certificate.
Currently, I am dedicated to acquiring the TOEFL certificate to achieve my career goals.However, a few months ago I applied fo Russia scholarship but the result of that is this:due to Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan we can't check the girl's scholarship.
Now the Taliban make new rules for girls who haven't Hijab will be prisoner. The banned all of the course of Kabul province for girls.
So, I am tired from this situation. Some times I thought I wish I was not in this world, due to this women's rights in Afghanistan are not respected.
Moreover, most of times I cry for this bad situation,everyday I lose my spirit.
Thanks for reading!
