Ava's Two Worlds
A young girl named Ava, who is growing up between two cultures, embarks on a journey of self-discovery as she struggles to blend her Indonesian and American heritage, ultimately realizing the wisdom and beauty in her unique identity.
Ava loved her home in Indonesia, with its bright colors and delicious smells. But sometimes, she felt like she didn't quite fit. At school, she spoke Bahasa Indonesia, while at home, she spoke English. Her heart was a little confused. " - Why do I feel different?" Ava asked her mom.
Ava's mom smiled gently. " - You are special because you have both worlds in you," she said. Still, Ava felt as if she was missing something important. She wanted to feel whole, not split between two places. Her mom suggested Ava visit her dad's garden for some peace.
In the garden, Ava found her dad sketching flowers. " - What are you drawing, Daddy?" she asked. He explained that each flower was unique, just like her. Ava thought about the flowers, but it didn’t solve her problem. She still felt like two puzzle pieces that didn't match.
Ava tried sharing her feelings with her friend, Maya. " - I feel like two different people," she said. But Maya didn’t understand. " - You’re just Ava to me," Maya replied. Ava felt frustrated and more confused than ever.
Ava decided to visit her grandmother. " - Why do I feel like I don't belong?" she asked. Her grandmother told stories of their ancestors, but Ava still felt lost. She wanted all the stories to make sense, but they didn't. Ava felt like giving up.
That night, Ava lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. She wished she could be like the other kids. " - Maybe I should just be one thing," she thought. But which one? She couldn’t decide. Ava felt tired and sad.
The next day, Ava's dad took her to a big tree in the garden. " - This tree is strong because it has deep roots," he said. Ava looked at the tree and thought about her two worlds. Maybe she could be strong too, like the tree.
Ava felt a new idea growing inside her. She didn’t need to choose one side or the other. " - I am both!" she realized. Ava felt happy and light, like a bird flying high. She had found her answer.
With her new wisdom, Ava shared her thoughts with her family. " - I am Ava, from two worlds," she said proudly. Her family smiled, and her dad hugged her tight. Ava felt like she had found her place.
Ava learned that being different was her strength. She continued to grow, just like the tree in her garden. Ava’s two worlds made her unique and beautiful. She was finally whole. Ava was happy.
