Thank you very much for your kind and encouraging comments. I need people like you to encourage me to achieve my goals. Now I am a junior in college. I am still single. I’m not thinking about getting married until I make sure that I have my education and I can find a person who has the same goals and can support me while I bring positive changes to Afghan women’s rights and lives.

Wonderful parents who also are couragous. To be accomplishing a dream amongst adversity is wonderful. So many women in the united states let the smallest thing derail them from the priviledge of education and a dream they have. You are an example that anything is possible. Thank you. Marzia,

It was beautifully written. It shows how much strength you had, to speak your mind against the two people who meant the world to you. I have so much respect for you. Marzia,

You are one of lucky girls who has the support of their lovely and understanding parents. Take it as their blessing, which you have already had, and fly as high as your heart desires. You are an exceptional example for those women who don't dare to speak up. Thanks for sharing this beautiful story. And, good luck always. Aafareen Marzia.

Second of all, I would like to congratulate you on your bravery. There are so many people here in the United States that couldn't stand up to their parents if they were put in a situation like you were. Just imagine, if there were a lot more women like you, and I'm sure there are, your country could be start to change for the good instead of the bad. No matter what happens in your life Marzia, never give up on your writing. the more you write, the more you learn, and the more you learn, the stronger you will become.
