My name is Diarou and I was a sophomore at Calvin Coolidge High School when I wrote my book. I really like fashion and I love to do hair. My most important purpose is to make money and make my mom proud. This is my first book. I wrote this story to help kids who have a hard time adapting to a new environment, like I did when I came to this country. I want them to know that just because you are living in a new environment, with people of different backgrounds, it does not make you an outsider. You will always find someone you can relate to.
