This reminded me of the talk with the Reyna Grande, the author of Across a Hundred Mountains. She had a similar situation. She was living with an abusive father in the United States. When she was in college she talked to her teacher, and told her about her abusive father. Then her teacher took her out of the terrible situation because she didn’t want her to drop out, and took her to live in her home. That is an amazing story! It paid an incredible amount that Reyna spoke up. In life, it can be very important to speak up, and speak your mind. You might be benefited, and your voice might contribute to a better world.
P.S There has been a lot of talk about Nadira talking to a teacher to get a different perspective of her situation. I’ve blogged about it in log #8 and commented on Puja’s blog posts regarding this matter.
