Jamsine, a 14 year old girl from Forlì with Moroccan origins, decided to wear the hijab. This decision was totally independent, even though her mother wears the veil. Jamsine received a lot of criticism from people who did not accept her choice, but she was determined to follow it. The first year wearing the hijab was difficult for Jamsine, especially during the summer. She couldn't go to the beach with her friends and this caused her a lot of frustration. Then she discovered the burkini, a swimsuit that allowed her to continue going to the sea. Despite the difficulties, Jamsine is determined to continue wearing the hijab. She is aware that this decision will be criticized, but she is confident and not afraid to express her faith.
Hi girls, my name is Jamsine. I am a 14 year old girl and I live in Forlì, but I have Moroccan origins.
It's been a year since I started wearing the hijab.
It was a totally independent decision.
My mother wears the veil, but she never forced me to wear it and she gave me my space. I got to a certain point in my life where I knew it was time. Consider that only a year has passed, but I still received a lot of criticism from people who didn't accept me for this decision of mine. I knew how to deal with them, even if it was difficult. Even now they tell me I won't be able to do it and I will take it off because I'm still small, but I'm sure of myself.
I have to tell you the truth: this year has been very difficult. It was my first summer wearing the hijab. I managed to get used to it, but initially I had a lot of problems because I saw people going to the beach and I didn't. Then I discovered burkinis and realized there was a solution to everything.
Even with regards to sport, I managed to continue the path and now I cultivate my passion for volleyball. Thanks for your support.
Halalina number one!
Allah ma3akom!
