America is filled with diversity, it's a place where you can express yourself and live life however you desire. Alaa El-Saad is a young woman who is not afraid to be different and show her cultural background. Alaa was afraid to show her religion by wearing her hijab, because she thought she was going to get teased by her classmates. In the sixth grade she decided to stand up for herself and show the world that she is a unique individual. She decided that her hijab was a part of her and that she should flaunt it and be proud of her background. So many teens now a days are afraid to follow their beliefs. Every one wants to fit in and look like everyone else because they are intimidated by others opinions. No one should be afraid to show who they are or where they are from. Every step of your life builds your personality and makes you stand out to the rest of the world. Everyone should be proud of their religion not hide it because it represent who you are and your interests. America gives you the opportunity to have freedom and follow your dreams, so take advantage and be the person you want to be in life and not hold back.
