The sticky note manifesto of Aisha Agarwal
by Ambika Vohra
"That's the Stanford admissions prompt that valedictorian shoo-in Aisha Agarwal can't answer. Comfort zone? Her life's been homework and junk food for as long as she can remember. Not exactly the thing college essays are written about. So, when her crush, Brian, asks her to winter formal, Aisha thinks her fate is changing... ...until Brian stands her up. As if on cue, a banged-up Volkswagen arrives outside the dance; the driver--a guy her age--profusely apologizing for being late to pick her up. Does Aisha know him or what he's talking about? No. Does the Stanford essay convince her to take him up on the ride? Absolutely. To Aisha's relief, seventeen-year-old Quentin Santos isn't a kidnapper, but he is failing math. So, they strike a deal: If Aisha helpsQuentin pass math, he'll help push her out of her comfort zone, using a series of sticky note to-do's--dares--that will not only give Aisha content for her essay but will turn her into the confident person she's always wanted to be.
