Zoya of Pakistan — The Girl Whose Hand Goes Up First
Zoya of Pakistan — The Girl Whose Hand Goes Up First
Age: 15
Region: Asia
Whenever a teacher asks for a volunteer, something remarkable happens in Zoya's classroom.
Everyone suddenly becomes extremely interested in their desks.
Pencils need sharpening. Shoelaces need examining. Pages that nobody cared about thirty seconds ago become fascinating.
Zoya's hand goes up.
Her friends have tried to stop this.
Once, when a teacher said, “I need a volunteer—” Zoya's best friend, Amina, grabbed her wrist and held it firmly against the desk.
Zoya raised the other hand.
Amina has never forgiven her.
Her Dream: To become a teacher who creates a classroom where nobody is afraid to raise a hand, ask a question, or give the wrong answer.
Her Wonder: How many things people never discover they can do because they're too afraid to be bad at them first?
