A Day At School
Hasibullah is a mischievous twelve-year-old who faces his biggest challenge yet: giving a speech in front of the whole school. As obstacles pile up, he must find the courage to overcome his fears and deliver his message.
Hasibullah was excited for his first day at middle school. But then, he learned he would have to give a speech in front of the entire school. His heart sank. " - I can't do it," he whispered to himself. He felt like running away.
Hasibullah tried to practice, but the words wouldn't come out right. " - Why can't I get this?" he mumbled. Each time he spoke, he imagined all the students laughing at him. His teacher, Ms. Lopez, watched him struggle.
The next day, Hasibullah's best friend, Amir, offered to help. " - Let's practice together," Amir suggested. But even with Amir's help, Hasibullah felt stuck. " - I'm too scared," he admitted. The speech day was getting closer.
Hasibullah wanted to give up. " - I just can't do it," he said, almost in tears. His fear was too great, and the thought of all eyes on him was terrifying. " - Maybe I should just tell Ms. Lopez I can't do it," he thought.
Then, Amir had an idea. " - Let's make it fun! Pretend you're telling a story to your toys," he said. Hasibullah brightened up. " - I can try that," he replied. Suddenly, the words seemed easier to say.
On the big day, Hasibullah took a deep breath and walked to the microphone. He imagined talking to his toys and began his speech. The words flowed, and the students listened. " - I did it!" he exclaimed afterward, full of joy.
