"Finding My Reflection: Suzy's Journey of Cultural Identity"
Day of the Flight
Sorry, I was just grabbing my suitcase!
Hurry up! Our flight is in an hour.
A8
All passengers flying to San Francisco, please come through gate A8.
Suzy decided to change back to her old style the following school day.
Hello passengers. Welcome aboard the flight from Tokyo to San Francisco!
I'm so excited to make new friends in school mom!
Yes, Suzy. We're going to have a better life in the U.S.
First Day of School
Hey, why don't you go back to your sushi land?
Look, it's the new girl! Is she Japanese or something?
Why are they making fun of me eating? I just want to fit in.
Yeah, look at her eating weird stuff like sushi.
Let's just play 3v2
She'll make our team worse since the Japanese are so bad at basketball.
I don't belong here.
It's 3 versus 2. What are you guys going to do?
Next Day of School
She got back home
I need to change myself to fit in, otherwise I'll have no friends!
I get it now. Anyways, do you want to hang out with my friends at lunch?
Is it you Suzy?! You look different.
Yeah, it's me. I've decided to change and be normal. I never really liked Japanese culture anyway.
Yeah why not.
Come to our sleepover this weekend!
I have to help out my mo-. Sorry,I mean yeah I can come anytime.
She comes home
Suzy, what have you done to yourself?!
I can explain mom...
Mom, I can't make new friends since I'm Japanese. They see me as abnormal and dislike me. I decided to change myself so I could fit in.
Suzy, you should be proud of your culture and not ashamed of it. If people don't like you because you're Japanese, it's their fault and not yours. Here, this book will help you.
She reads the book "The Tale of Genji"
"The Tale of Genji" becomes a guiding light for Suzy as she explores her own cultural identity. She draws parallels between the protagonist's journey and her own experiences, learning valuable lessons about self-acceptance, the beauty of diversity, and the significance of finding one's authentic voice.
I understand my mistakes now.
Hey, I really like your hair. My name is Amari. What about you?
Thank you, my name is Suzy. I like your outfit Amari.
How I look right now is my style. I don't need to change my appearance and behavior to fit in with others. People should like you for who you are.
Hey Suzy, what happened to your style? Also where were you this weekend?
I love BTS! I used to listen to them so much in Japan
BTS!!
This is so fun! Looks like you had a lot of fun in Japan. Tell me more!
BTS!!
After The Concert
Suzy, I'm so happy you accepted your cultural identity of being Japenese!
Mom, thanks for helping me find myself. I'm proud of who I am!
