Langston Hughes once said "Hold Fast to dreams for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly." Juma has held her dream of one day becoming a successful woman ever since she was eight years old. Because of her aspirations, she has committed herself solely to her academics. Since she loves to learn new things, and she values the significance of an education.
