Ilhan
Don't mind the sceptics for you have a bright and promising futue unlike those unfortunate young men in mogadisho who are taught and forced to kill their own people in the name of misinterpreted religion

This is going to be
your best year yet.
It's destined to be a year
when dreams come true,
because there's nothing
you can't accomplish
if you believe in you!

And I want you to know
that I'll be cheering for
you every step of the way
every day! CONGRATULATIONS.

Ohio is hot bet of homo youth in America. By dragging Somali girl into this world is detimental to Somali community in America. For those who praise her hard work should rethink what Ohion Youth face these days. Shame on you by not reading well her well defined duty which says; "Development of a well-designed action plan which addresses youth issues and concerns"

I don't surprise Araweelo to do ululayn for this but where are you men who live in America and its social complex. Ilhan should dress proper xijaab and learn Geneocology or any other female dicipline. Alas, instead she is buying this orchastrated publicity stunt/rubbish
