What inspired you to become a teacher?

Growing up in Afghanistan, I saw firsthand how many girls were denied the opportunity to learn. I knew that I wanted to do something to change that and to make a difference in the lives of young people in my community. Teaching was the perfect way for me to achieve that goal.

What are some of the challenges that you face as a teacher in Afghanistan?

One of the biggest challenges is the lack of resources. We often have to make do with very little in terms of books, materials, and technology. However, I firmly believe that good teaching is not about what you have, but about what you can do with what you have.
