It’s part of me now, my scarf and my alopecia<br />
➤➤➤➤➤<br />
Sumaya sometimes wears a wig<br />
for special occasions, like family<br />
weddings. But generally, she’s<br />
more comfortable wearing her<br />
headscarf.<br />
Starting at secondary school<br />
offered a fresh start for Sumaya.<br />
Early on, in a discussion about<br />
bullying, she decided to tell her<br />
class that she had lost her hair.<br />
Five years later, apartfromher<br />
closest friends, she thinks most<br />
people have forgotten now.<br />
Now 17, Sumaya isalways busy.<br />
‘I concentrate on my education<br />
and my hobbies – I love reading.<br />
Sumaya aims high at NASA!<br />
Iamgoing on a Duke of<br />
Edinburgh expedition, and I won a trip to NASA last summer. There are so many<br />
things I’m concerned with, my hair loss doesn’t concern me.’<br />
