America is built on the idea of freedom, and there is no exception for Muslim women. I  36  the freedom of religion and speech. But mostly, I believe it’s OK to be  37 , and to stand up for who and what you are. So I believe in wearing the hijab.

The hijab is a religious head covering, like a scarf. I am Muslim, and keeping my head covered is a  38  of maturity and respect toward my  39  and to Allah’s will.  40 , I also like to wear it to be different.

I did hear some kids were making fun of me,  53  there was one girl — she wasn’t even in my class, we never really talked much — and she spoke  54  me, and I wasn’t even there! I made a lot of new friends that year, friends that I still have until this very day, five years later.

Sitting at home in England with a glass of whisky and a book of maps, this had seemed an excellent idea. But now as I picked my way through the grey, late-December slush(融雪) of Oslo I was beginning to have my doubts.
