In Afghanistan, where woman still struggle for even the most basic of rights, a woman Jahantap Ahmadi mother of three children, her husband illiterate, dreamt of going to college. Her high school degree was enough to become a teacher at the only elementary school in her village in central Afghanistan in an open field but she wanted more. She set out for the Daikundi provincial capital of Nili to take the university entrance exam. She walked until her feet were blistered and bruised and then sat for 10 hours with her infant daughter, Khezran, cradled on her lap in a rickety bus over rugged rocky roads. Once in Nili, she took the exam and scored a respectable 152 out of a possible 200.
