I have a dream for my family.
My two sisters and my brother did not go to school, and I wish they could have had an education. Now I want my nephew and nieces to be educated so they will be able to reach their wishes and be able to help our country in the future. If I am educated, I can help them step-by-step with their education. And then they will be able to help their new generation.
I have a dream for Afghanistan.
I want to see my country like other countries in twenty years. Everyone should have equal rights, peace, and stability in their lives. Presently we don’t have these human rights, especially not for girls, and I want them for all people. If we have this discrimination between each other, we can never improve our country.
I have a big dream for Afghanistan.
I want to see one day that it is like other free countries. I have a dream for my own future. I want to graduate from high school and from university and I want to be a doctor. I want to be honest and good and I want to help my country.
I hope that I will accomplish my wishes and make them all come true.

I love your beautiful dreams, Anisgul. The way I see you study and write, the way I see you dream for others as much as yourself, I am confident that you will grow to help your family and community very much, and in doing so, you will help yourself, too. Keep up the wonderful work! Stacy

Anisgul — These are beautifully expressed dreams and I am impressed by how generous you are with your dreams — hoping for a brighter future not only your family members but all of Afghanistan. I have no doubt that you will realize your goal of being a doctor if that is what your goal continues to be — however — it is clear from what you’ve written that you are already honest and good. Thank you for writing such a hopeful piece. All best wishes, Nancy
Anisgul,
We all are part of one society and are trying to change and go toward development. I am sure you are going to be an honest leader.
All the best,

Dear Anisjewel-jan,
You have beautiful dreams not only for yourself, but for others. That’s what I love most about your essay. I know you will help your country a lot (!) and I know your family is very proud of you. So am I. Much love to you, Jeannie
Anisgul, your dreams are definite, beautiful, and doable. I love hearing about your dreams. You inspire me because that which you desire and see for you, your family, and your country I desire and see the same with you. Beautiful message of hope and thanks for sharing!
Dear Anisgul,
To paraphrase a line from a John Lennon song:
“They may say that you’re a dreamer, but you’re not the only one…”
You are an amazing young woman. You restore my faith in the future. Thank you.
Anisgul,
I think that you are capable of achieving whatever you want. What I really liked about your article was that none of the wishes were all about yourself. I think that it’s awesome that you want everyone to benefit from your goals. Great job, keep writing!
