    • Laila,
      Wearing the hijab is not easy. I speak French, English and Spanish as if they were my first languages. And when people see me for example at a store purchasing something, they won't help me. The minute I have to speak and they hear that I am super Canadian, their mouths usually drop, then they help me. They assume hijabis are complete FOBs. But, I inshAllah and removing a lot of stereotypes, on step at a time.

      I think the most shocking was my job. I starting wearing hijab one year ago, when doing interviews to get a teaching job. I made so much duah that Allah would help me. I got a job. The first week we do a parent night, and the parents come to meet the teachers. They were all like, :o woaaaah a hijabi teacher! Most of them were frozen. But since I am so good with the kids (The kids call me the best teacher in the school), the parents came around and started respecting me and appreciating me. Alhamdulillah I am glad I did this, because thats something like 400 people who will think twice when they see a hijabi woman and not treat her differently. :D

                • hehe, all the bad kids seem to like me the most. I have a lot of class pets, unless you speak French and become 12 years old again, you can't be in my class. Too bad for you since we're going away on a trip to Quebec in 3 weeks! :P

                    • Well I teach all my subjects in French. It's a french immersion school. So you fail. And kids that fail either have to sing the national anthem in front of the class, do jumping jacks, chair holds against the wall, or push ups.
                      I think you'll either become a good singer, become in really good shape, or actually learn French. heheh

                            • because it pays more. I learned Spanish too. Just in case I ever needed to go to the states I can teach there too. But, to speak French and english here is a huge asset. We automatically make more money because of it.
                              And also, I was always a nerd in school who got really bored. So my parents enrolled me in French school just to challenge me a bit.
                              Now to learn Pashto! liwaneyyyy
