"I froze. My mind went blank. I got scared." (112)
As I read this I thought of the past years of my life. I thought of how when I get scared I freeze and my mind goes blank, just as Aisha's did. It wasn't in the same position though, I got scared because I thought that something bad would happen to someone I loved. In Aisha's case she thought they were going to throw her out of Barnard because she was an illegal immigrant.
In this chapter I felt connected to Aisha and Nadira, more so than I usually do. I felt connected to them because they were going through a lot and they were lying to the teachers. In my life, I lie to my family about some small things and some big things. But they always figure it out, sadly.
