Joanna Haddad and her sisters convinced their family to stay.
"I have a dream. I want to become a doctor. And here in the US, I can do it," she said. "And I just remember, at that moment, we just all decided that we're just going to do this together."
The idea to become dentists was an organic choice for the sisters. Joanna traces it back to watching her grandmother struggle to eat with just one tooth. Anna-Maria can recall the lack of education and urgency surrounding dental care in her hometown. And Mira-Belle remembers how getting braces empowered her to smile her shyness away.
In the future, the girls dream of opening their own practice together and ultimately inspiring girls around the world.
