Meh‘lan, 16 years old, NJ

Meh’lan enjoys doing makeup, nails, and hair, and she loves expressing herself through beauty and fashion. She is a caring and responsible big sister to her sister, Aa’riizun, and her brother. Meh’lan is also very helpful at home, especially because her mother is permanently disabled and uses a wheelchair. Her favorite color is pink, and she is hoping to join the spring track team. Meh’lan works very hard in school and takes her education seriously. If her grades begin to slip, she makes the effort to attend extra help sessions in the mornings to stay on track. When she grows up, Meh’lan hopes to become either a nurse or a teacher so she can help and support others.
