The day I am writing this is September 20, 2019. I’ve lived here in Skopje for 35 days. A little over a month ago, I woke up at 10 AM, headed to the Village Coffee Shop in my hometown, Maplewood, New Jersey, with a friend and spoke about everything from the high school fencing team to the future.

I hope that everyone, and especially girls, will get what they want in this world; we just have to work really hard and never give up!

And as a young girl, my responsibility is to encourage other young girls to stand up for everything they believe in and for every injustice that has been done to them.
