My favourite character in the story so far is Shauzia.
I admire her because she is very strong willed, independent, and also a strong leader. She was very brave when she left the Women’s Compound to go and try to make a life for herself. I think that it would take a lot of courage to go out on your own and raise money and care for yourself, especially for someone 12 years old, who should be playing games with friends, and reading books and going to school. She however is not only brave because she is trying to live on her own, she is also very brave because she has gone a long time without anyone like family or friends.
If I were to compare Shauzia and myself, I would say that we were similar in the ways that we both have good leadership qualities, but not in the way where she survives without family. I don’t think I’m that strong. This is because I wouldn’t be able to last more than a day without my family and friends.

Lauren that was very well put together, it sounds like she is a VERY stong little girl! also to be away like that from family and friends that is tough. i see how you guys are a like you have very many of the same skills.
