A Thousand Splendid Suns
It was 2 in the morning when i finished reading A Thousand Splendid Suns. My heart sunk upon learning that Mariam had to be executed in the end. I couldn't help but shed a tear or two. It may be a fictional book but somewhere in this world a similar thing could have happen to someone. Is it her fault to be born a 'harami'? Is it her fault to defend Laila at the expense of killing Rasheed? Is Jalil worth her forgiveness? Does she have to suffer from the start until the end?
Attitude Problems
Last Thursday, my student's mom called up because her daughter was absent for her summer class session. It happened 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when she explained about her daughter's ballet class sched over the phone and asked to pick-up the worksheets so her little girl could work her lessons at home. The school policy does not allow to send the worksheets out. I told her that her daughter can work out her lessons the next day and that we would cover up another 1 hour. The mother demanded EXPLANATIONS why the school does not allow such and put down while I was still explaining.
I didn't expect somebody could actually do such- not from an educated person...but GEEZ! she has an attitude!
She still had the face to show up to me and asked considerations for her daughter.
