Bab 2: Second Class Citizens

I felt hostility toward that way. I always tried my best for females to be respected and given authority.

I had this science teacher that I hated so much because of what he did to girls. During his time whatever happens that was negative "the girls did it" he would say.

I told mine parents but they couldn't do anything about it. I asked my parents to send me to another school but they couldn't afford to send me to another.

During that time I felt like a chained magician, who had so much power but couldn't use it because my hands were bounded by a spell stronger than me. That spell was there society. They judge me and classified me in another way because I was different.
