I am at the end of my school year, and I have like two more weeks until summer holidays, so I won't be able to be as active in my cybersecurity career. In these two weeks, I will have exams almost every day.
I am also assigned to read three books from my literature professor. The reason is that my literature teacher didn't count my last two books, so I have to read other books. He asks really specific questions that catch me off guard. We learned about writers like Charles Dickens last month, and we had to report a book from one of those writers. I didn't have time to read a new book, but I remembered that I actually read the novel Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens when I was in seventh grade, so I reported that. For some reason, he decided to ask me questions—he didn't ask anyone before me—and I didn't remember anything at all. As I said, he asks very specific questions. He didn't count it, so now I have to read another book.
The same thing happened two months ago. I reported a book that was assigned to the class at the start of the year, but I had reported something else instead. So when I reported that book later this year, he didn't count it. Now I am stuck here and have to read three books before Monday and complete an exam, not to mention other exams I have in other subjects.
My literature professor is not some idiot or some asshole professor who just has some degree and is completely ignorant. No. He is a highly intelligent intellectual who writes books, reads books every single day, and is deeply in love with books. He is also a translator. His name is Besnik Jaha. As far as I am concerned, he is not a public figure.
Anyway, my next school year is my senior year. I have one big regret, though. I chose the wrong school. Two years ago, I wanted to become an Islamic scholar, so I enrolled in an Islamic school—the only one in the capital of Kosovo. Now I have to go and study subjects that I already know. I have studied them voluntarily before coming to this school, so in class I am not the most active. I studied a different Islamic school of thought, which any Muslim with some Islamic knowledge would recognize. I am tired of learning things I am not interested in. I really want to change schools, but there are not many good options, and convincing my parents is a challenge itself.
In Kosovo, I am surrounded by narrow‑minded people. I need to change environment, but for now I am stuck.
I was also going to talk about a summer project that I am planning on, but that's for another day.
