chapter 12 3/17

"Nadira, I've always been like these guys out here, running. You know me. I'll run in any weather. You give me a test, I'll do ten times better then you expect. I'll do anything" - page 112

I thought that this quote was a really good metaphor for the way that Aisha explained her efforts in life by using the words "running in any weather". It's like she will do anything to be the best and will not give up. But, it seems like now that she wants to start "walking" because of all the stress on her shoulders. It seems like now Aisha wants to just give up because she can't handle her life outside of school. Her efforts to change everything and make it right and perfect are not working.
