Rihana is like the shining star of the family. You know that sibling you look up to? The one who influences you at a deep level? That’s Rihana. Though her mom plays a big role in raising her siblings, Rihana is like a second mother, especially with the youngest Habib. Everyone she knows calls her "doctor" because she's so sincere about her studies. Even when the neighboring bombings keep the village's boys at home, Rihana still walks to school. Why? "Because I can," Rihana says.
