[b]Biography:[/b] 
The daughter of a wealthy Sheikh, Ara was born to a high class family who moved from Lebanon to Dubai. The apple of her father’s eye she wanted for nothing being the only daughter. As she grew the relationship with her father changed as they drew distant, and the favoritism of her had run its course. Her brothers were expected to learn politics and be just as successful as their father. Ara was cast aside into the background like her mother but still remained obligated to behave, and remain quiet. Traveling with her family opened her eyes to the many possibilities in the world. Finding foreigner’s freedom engaging she wanted to go into the tourism business but knew her family would not approve. While entertaining the family of a respectable Egyptian Sheikh, Ara befriended his daughter who had won a scholarship to the States to attend school. Ara discussed this with her father and was given permission; however, he expected her return home.

At 18 Ara left to join the medical field of nursing and used this opportunity to gain some much needed freedom when returning back home to Dubai. During her courses some teachers began taking a liking to the bright eyed Lebanese girl. They suggested Ara apply to become a permanent resident with the promise to gain employment after graduation. Without hesitation she made the tough decision to try for a green card against her family’s wishes, and has not spoken to them in quite some time as a consequence. Isolation from her family and all the independence quickly got her into trouble. She met a rough crowd and began to experiment with drugs at social gatherings to numb her mind. Unfortunately her grades are plummeting due to the dependence on drugs. She fears everything will be taken away from her and she will have to return home a failure but worse--a disappointment to her father if she does not fatally overdose first.
