Tanzil is confident far beyond her 11 years. ‘I want to be a pilot in the future,’ she says, ‘because I want to know what the sky is like.’ She knows that education is important in achieving her dream. ‘Education for girls is important. I like history because I want to know more about what happened before our city, she says. I also like maths because it is very useful in real life.’
‘I’m really proud of my school,’ she explains, ‘I think the teachers are brilliant. They talk to us like friends and they always explain things that we don’t understand.’ When it comes to values, respect is key for Tanzil, ‘respect and helping each other makes people friendly,’ she says, ‘we also need to respect our environment. I’d like to send a message to everyone to stop cutting down trees as they give us oxygen.’
