Graduation day is something many people will never forget. One of my biggest moments in my life was the day of graduation and the weeks leading up to it.

My ideas and thoughts about Africa had been changed after I listened to Adichie’s speech. The way she described the danger of a single story was very inspiring to me, and I could relate many of the experiences I had to her story. I was born in Pakistan and moved to the U.S. in 2007. When I came to the U.S. I lived in Virginia and went to Freedom Hill Elementary School. On the first day of school I sat next to an Indian kid named Sai and he didn’t want to sit next to me he told the teacher that are countries didn’t like each other so he wanted to sit somewhere else, but are teacher said she didn’t want to hear any of it. So during the year we had to work on many things as partners, and we got along great we had many things in common and at the end of the year we became pretty good friends.

The Frizzled genes were first identified in Drosophila melanogaster, and the origin of the term “Frizzled” came from the phenotype of the Frizzled mutant of D. melanogaster that displayed a disruption in the polarity of the epidermal cells (irregularly arranged and tightly curled hairs in the adult fly) [38,39]. The Frizzled family of receptors is activated by secreted lipoglycoproteins of the Wingless/Int-1 (WNT) family, and these receptors are crucial for embryonic development, tissue and cell polarity, neural development and many other processes during development of adult organisms [40]. Over the years, Frizzled receptors have been identified in diverse animals including sponges and human [24,39,41].
