Rahma is #3 in her class. Her ambition in life is to become a dermatologist. She says this is because she wants to “help people who suffer from skin problems because when I used to pass in my village I saw many people with skin diseases.” (In Tanzania, this is a much greater health issue than in the US.)

She says this is because she sees many sick babies in her village and it “makes her feel pain to see them sick.” She also had a younger sister that died as a baby, which contributes to her wanting to be a pediatrician.
