3:43 am
shopping in person or ordering things online that then get shipped to them? >> a mixture of both, right. i do what i call preshopping online, seeing what deals the stores have. but also checking inventory. because what we don't want to be doing is hopping around from store to store. >> reporter: and wasting that gas money. >> and wasting that gas, because it's expensive. >> reporter: she also suggests checking apps that offer coupons or cash back on purchases, and considering generic brands. >> also, be strategic. maybe there is a backpack brand that costs more than other brands, but it comes with a lifetime guarantee. >> reporter: another idea, connecting with nonprofits that might be giving away supplies. how much does getting free supplies help? especially at a time like this? >> it helps a lot. especially because there's other things that i could be paying for. >> reporter: what do you think about your supplies? >> i like them. >> reporter: and how excited are you to start first grade? >> i'm very excited. >> reporter: she was so cute. kelly glasser gave us all those

a school like this where you have to dress very conservatively and hide to get an education? >> i feel bad. >> reporter: you feel bad? >> yes. >> reporter: it's a feeling 14-year-old knows all too well. we met her last year just months after the taliban announced its ban on girls' education. one year later, and she is still out of school. what's it been like for you to basically be stuck at home for the last year? >> it was horrifying for me to sit at home and not to go out whenever i wanted to. i don't know what's going to happen in the future, but i hope there are less restrictions for girls. >> reporter: what do you want the world to know about afghan girls who want an education? >> they should force the taliban's government to reopen the schools for girls. and i don't think they will -- any country will recognize them
