  • About

After two years at my new school, I began to get good grades, and I finally felt like I had found my way with education. I was top of the class in every subject, and my parents couldn’t have been prouder. That summer, as a treat, we went to Greece and Turkey on holiday, and returned just in time for the start of term. I was excited about the new school year, and I couldn’t wait to get back to my streak of good grades and attention from teachers and classmates alike. But that year, Naureen joined my class and everything changed.
