Be Yourself (Notes from Chapter 16)

"But sometimes... sometimes you have to tell them who you are. What you really think. You have to make them see us."

I really liked this quote. Nadira was explaining to Aisha that she doesn't have to pretend to be someone she's not. The only thing that matters to everyone is that Aisha is real. She doesn't ave to look like everyone else. It's actually better to be smart and independant, rather than smart and the same as everyone else. I really respected Nadira for seriously talking with her sister. It takes a lot of gut to talk to an older sibling like that, and I think that it got through to Aisha. I hope that Aisha will listen to Nadira, because she had really good ideas.
