Shaima

I live with my mom, little sister and a little brother. My father has two wives and we live with my aunt and cousins and my father lives with his other family. I am currently in ninth grade at Marefat High School in Kabul. There are many people that pay for my fees to study here, including AGFAF, because my family cannot pay. I love this school and this is the place where I feel powerful to change my future. I really am thankful to those who sponsor my education. 

I would like to pursue astronomy studies during college. My long term goal is to learn about galaxies and space and become an astronaut.
