An Afghan teenager who was severely injured in a suicide Attack in September has passed her university entrance exams with high marks.

Ms Amiri spoke about its impact on her: " On The Day of The Exam , I was affected by the Kaaj Attack - my eye was in pain, I couldn't see the question papers properly. "

Ms Amiri said her teacher helped her to check her results online and found that she had successfully passed her entrance exams.
She Said she was initially upset at not being among The Top 10 highest result achievers.
" I got really sad in The First stage, as I expected to be among The Top 10. I didn't want to see my result afterwards, " She Said .
" If I was not among The Top 10, one or two other girls should have been There . . I Am sure There are girls among The Top 10, but I don't know why it was not announced, " Ms Amiri added.
" Girls' talent should not be ignored. . This is not a setback for girls, they won't accept defeat. "
Ms Amiri said she would be determined to study regardless: " One Hundred Percent I will do Computer Science , I loved it and I Am sure I will be able to go ahead with it, " She Said .
The Kaaj tuition centre is a private college which teaches both male and female students. Most girls' schools in the country have been closed since The Taliban returned to power in August Last Year , but some private schools are Open .
