High school seniors across the country are currently signing yearbooks and reading one-another's parting quotes, which are often reminiscent of song lyrics and lines ripped from greeting cards.
But Rafika Alami, a 17-year-old senior at Summit High School in Fontana, California, took the opportunity to be a bit more original.
'Only reason I wear this is to give you females a chance,' Alami wrote. The 'this' in her quote refers to her hijab, a veil worn by some Muslim women.
Rafika Alami, a senior at Summit High School in Fontana, California, said she 'thought it would be kind of funny' to have 'Only reason I wear this is to give you females a chance' as her senior yearbook quote
Showing off her self confidence and sense of humor, Alami suggests in her yearbook quote that she's leveling the dating field by covering up part of her beauty with the hijab, otherwise she would attract all of the attention.
Alami said that she 'thought it would be kind of funny' to put as a senior quote.
'I meant it in no way offensively, just humorously. The reactions have been great. Most of the comments consist of 'slay' or 'GOAT' (Greatest of All Time),' she told Huffington Post .
She added: 'A lot of girls are telling me that I've inspired them to be confident, which makes me feel great. I think it's important that girls feel more confident.'
While the quote has faced some criticism, most people on social media have applauded Alami's confidence.
'There are a very small handful of people saying I'm putting girls down but I'm really not,' she told Buzzfeed .
On Friday she announced that she was accepted into the University of California, Riverside.

MY DEAR ANDREW I feel bad for Andrew, says Ghislaine Maxwell in first prison interview

MYSTERY KILLING Girl's body found in suitcase as chilling details emerge about injuries
COPS have launched an investigation after a Muslim teen was egged and had her hijab ripped off by a gang of youths in Dublin.
Video footage posted online shows the girl being shoved to the floor and physically assaulted in Dundrum village.
Gardai confirmed they are investigating the attack, which happened on Main Street on Sunday at around 3.30pm.
A police spokeswoman said: "No arrests have been made and an investigation is ongoing."
The person who shared the video online claims to be the victim's sister.
Ireland's culture Minister Josepha Madigan was among those who condemned the attack.
She tweeted: "I condemn in the strongest possible terms the assault on a Muslim girl who had her hijab taken from her in Dundrum village.
"I hope the perpetrators are brought to justice quickly."
Pippa Woolnough, communications and advocacy manager at the Immigrant Council of Ireland, said: "No one should face abuse or violence because of their religion or their ethnicity.
"The reports about the alleged attack are appalling. The Immigrant Council would like to see effective hate crime legislation introduced so perpetrators and their victims can see justice being done."
Green Party TD Catherine Martin said: "This is absolutely appalling. We must stand firm against any and all racism.
"Violence like this stems from racist rhetoric. Words become actions.
"We must condemn racism at all levels if we want to stop violence and discrimination taking hold."
Dr Ali Selim, a leading figure in the Irish Muslim community, condemned the attack and called for hate crime legislation to be introduced.
He said: "It's a shock to everybody living in Ireland. If this is happening in the middle of the day and in this area, where would you let your children go to?
"Most people have been really supportive on social media. Very few individuals are critical about the situation, but that gives the general impression of the situation in Ireland.
"The mainstream are pro-cohesiveness and pro-justice and equality for everyone, regardless of your faith and race. It is our responsibility to maintain this cohesiveness.
"There is a desperate need for hate crime legislation in Ireland. We didn't have that in the past and that is understood because in the past Irish society was made of one and the same group.
"Today we have a wide range of diversity and faiths in various communities and that enhances the need to have hate crime legislation to prevent such incidents from happening again.
"I'm sure the gardai will take prompt action. If they are more visible on the streets that will curtail any opportunities for such acts to be repeated."
Head of Amnesty International Ireland, Colm O’Gorman, also denounced the assault.
He tweeted: "There are real consequences to a toxic discourse which stokes up division & hate.
"And they are often most suffered by those who are the targets of such hate, not its perpetrators. We must be better than this."
A number of faces of the people involved are clearly identifiable in the video and it's understood police are aware of the footage.

She's the first woman ever allowed to wear a Muslim headscarf beneath her military uniform at the nation's oldest private military college.
But don't call Sana Hamze a pioneer.
'I don't really see it as me changing the world or changing the U.S., even,' said Hamze, 18, a freshman at Vermont's Norwich University.
'I just kind of see it as the school allowing an American student to practice her faith while also training to be an officer in the Navy.'
Sana Hamze is the first woman ever allowed to wear a Muslim headscarf beneath her military uniform at the nation's oldest private military college, Norwich University
Hamze's lifelong dream is to continue her family's legacy of military and public service while staying true to her devout religious beliefs
Her focus is on learning details of life as a 'rook' at the school's Corps of Cadets and not running afoul of the many rules and customs new students are required to master.
As do all aspiring members of the corps, she's learned to walk at the side of the pathways, make square corners when turning, line up before eating and sleep when she is told.
Like her freshman classmates, she yearns for the time when her class is 'recognized' and they become official members of the Corps of Cadets and the rook restrictions end.
But the uniform for the 18-year-old student from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is a little different. Unlike other female members of the corps, Hamze wears her Muslim hijab, or head covering, beneath.
As part of her effort to fulfill her lifelong dream of continuing her family's legacy of military and public service while staying true to her devout religious beliefs, she asked for a uniform accommodation to wear the hijab when she was applying to colleges earlier this year.
Norwich, one of the nation's six senior military colleges, agreed to make the accommodation.

Hamze's great-grandmother was in the Air Force and two of her grandparents met while serving in the Navy in Puerto Rico. Her father is a police officer in Florida.
Hamze said that she has been subject to hostile stares and comments while wearing her hijab in public, but never at Norwich, where she is not the first Muslim to attend the school, or in Vermont.
The hostility to her faith hasn't made her bitter or curbed her dream of serving her country.

'It doesn't scare me because I know what I'm doing is not to harm anyone,' she said.
'I know what I'm doing is to actually protect the country. I'm joining the task force that protects this country.'
Hamze's college plans made headlines this spring when The Citadel — the Charleston, South Carolina, military college she had hoped to attend — refused to change its uniform policy to accommodate her hijab.
Norwich was quick to agree to make the accommodation, which will also apply to Jewish men who wish to wear a yarmulke along with their uniforms.
Norwich, located in the town of Northfield, about 10 miles south of the Vermont capital of Montpelier, is the nation's oldest private military college. Last spring, it hosted a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Reserve Officers Training Program.
Of its total on-campus student body of about 2,250, about two-thirds of students are in the Corps of Cadets, its military program, while the rest are civilians who don't participate in military training.
Ali Shahidy, a Muslim senior civilian student at Norwich from Afghanistan, said he had met Hamze and attended a religious service with her at a nearby mosque, but did not know her well. Nevertheless, he thinks she's a leader even if she doesn't see herself that way.
'I am definitely sure there will be students in the future like her (and) it will encourage other Muslim students who have the ambition to serve their country in the military yet are concerned about their look and their hijab,' he said.
