Neda also loves Christian Ronaldo, gets way over-excited in class, and really misses school. As she can't even put an online hand up right now, (she never shouts out) please pass her poems on.

The internet shutdown in Afghanistan happened in real time in my online poetry class on Monday. The women's accounts dropped out one by one. The last to go was Neda. Just before her image froze, I promised to put her poem on Twitter. She's 11. Online was her last hope of education. @WRNAfghanistan
