One decision killed my mother, ruined my relationship with my father and got me married to a shoe marker named Rasheed. The decision I wish that I could take back was leaving the Kolba and going to visit my father in Herat on my fifteenth birthday.

He continues: “the principal locked all the classrooms, confiscated our books, placed them in black garbage bags and let us know there would be tests on Monday. This day got to be remembered as “Black Bag Monday.” Even so, when asked about whether he regrets anything about those four years, Thomas though about it, got inspired, smiled and said “Absolutely nothing.” When summarizing his experiences and highlights throughout high school, Thomas was left speechless; “Highlight…Wow” when he finally reacted he said “too many years too many highlights but, definitely a big one was the party after high school graduation, when we realized what a family we had
Our parents persecuted us, but we didn’t care. No one could keep us apart unless they killed us. I guess I should’ve been careful with what I wished for. After three years of the hatred coming from our families, we decided to run. We would run as far as we could with out being detected.
