Hi!

Hi!

My name is Asma, and I am a third-year student majoring in Political Science. It took me a little while to figure out how to create a blog, so thank you for your patience.

I have spent the majority of my life growing up in British Columbia, but I was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, and lived in Moscow for a few years during my early childhood. Because of this, I grew up navigating different cultures, languages, and ways of life from a young age, which has shaped how I understand the world and relate to others.

I am also the middle child of eight siblings, which has played a major role in shaping who I am. Growing up in a large family taught me independence, patience, and the importance of communication.

As a Political Science major, I am especially interested in how law, governance, and social systems affect individuals and communities, and how personal backgrounds intersect with broader political and social realities.

I am taking this course to fulfill my literature requirement, but also to push myself beyond my comfort zone and overcome my fear of reading more challenging writers. I love reading, but only modern pieces. Older literature pieces often make me feel stupid, but hopefully this course can stop that.

That’s a little bit about me! I look forward to this class.
