I can’t sleep from stressing about whether I’ve got the guts to do it. To wear the hijab, the head scarf, full-time. ‘Full-timers’ are what my Muslim friends and I call girls who wear the hijab all the time, which basically means wearing it whenever you’re in the presence of males who aren’t immediate family. ‘Part-timers’ like me wear the hijab as part of our school uniform at an Islamic school or when we go to the mosque or maybe even when we’re having a bad hair day.
