 I'm so excited and I'm so nervous also. So difficult to be a woman or be a musician in Afghanistan, it's challenging. And I'm first female conductor in our country. It makes me so happy and feeling so proud. And I will continue music. I want to work hard and to open the door for other girls. Before starting music, I was hearing such bad comments about musicians from my own uncle, from my family. It's something useless that everybody is doing. It's nothing. White people are going to be musicians. My family was saying those things and I was afraid of telling them that I want to be a musician. It makes me so happy and feeling so proud of myself that I'm conducting orchestra. The criticism is there. The pro-Taliban minded people are there. For whom music is a loose practice, but it's not the mentality of every Afghan. Through music education, we are teaching our kids to live in peace and harmony and respect each other. I stand in front of these girls. I was so excited and I say, I will continue conducting. The experiences that I have got in this ensemble was unity, love, hope, and more than everything, never give up.
