A few years ago, when Mariam was in the fourth grade - elementary school years before middle school and high school - she was getting excited for Halloween. She was planning out her Halloween costume, and she already knew EXACTLY who she was going to be - Abraham Lincoln.

Mariam was studying American History at school, and for some reason, she became fascinated by Abraham Lincoln. She drew him, imagined him - she just really liked Abraham Lincoln and all the awesome things he did for our country. So, she decided to go all out and dress up as Abe - beard and all.

When her brother found out her plan, he gave her a hard time and told her that she couldn't be Abe since she was a girl. She just brushed it off and told him that she could be whoever she wanted. Her brother just wanted to be a zombie - super basic.

Mariam went to the Halloween costume store with her brother and mom, and they all picked out their costumes. Mariam's mom decided to be Princess Leia from Star Wars. When they went to the counter to buy their costumes, the woman at the register gave Mariam a hard time, too. She thought it was weird that she wanted to be Abraham Lincoln for Halloween, but Mariam tried to ignore her and bought the costume anyways.

Halloween rolled around, and even though Mariam was originally so excited to wear her costume around the neighborhood, trick or treat with friends and collect candy, she couldn't help but remember all the judgement she faced. She was nervous about wearing her costume, and she was afraid that people would make fun of her. But after talking to her mom about it, she decided to put her fears aside and throw on the costume. She realized that, even if she got some weird looks about her costume, it didn't matter - all that mattered was that SHE had fun and dressed up the way she wanted.

After she was able to come to that realization, she ended up having an awesome Halloween. Now, after having that experience, she can proudly say to all the haters - don't judge my costume!
