I Love Who I Am!
Amanda, a brave young girl in Ethiopia, must find the courage to embrace her uniqueness as she faces the challenge of being different. With her loving nature, Amanda learns to overcome obstacles, discovering that her differences are her strengths.
Amanda loved playing in her colorful garden in Ethiopia. One day, she overheard her classmates talking about her. They said she was different because she had autism. Amanda felt sad and wondered if being different was a problem. She wished she could be like everyone else. - Why do they say I'm different? Amanda asked herself.
Amanda decided to ask her friend, Tariku, for advice. - Tariku, why do people say I'm different? she asked. - Because you have a special way of seeing the world. That's what makes you amazing, Tariku replied. But Amanda wasn't convinced. She still felt like an outsider.
Amanda went home and talked to her mom. - I wish I wasn't different, Amanda said softly. - Oh, my dear, being different is a wonderful thing, her mom replied. Amanda's mom explained how her uniqueness could be her strength. But Amanda was still unsure how to feel proud of who she was.
The next day, Amanda was determined to fit in. She decided to play a game with her classmates at school. But when it was her turn, she couldn't follow the rules like the others. - I don't understand this game, Amanda said nervously. Her classmates giggled, and Amanda felt embarrassed.
Amanda tried to join a singing group at school. She loved music, but when it was time to sing, her voice was different. - Amanda, you're singing differently, one of the kids pointed out. Amanda felt her cheeks turn red. - Maybe I shouldn't sing, she whispered to herself.
Feeling discouraged, Amanda sat alone during lunch. She watched other kids laughing and playing. - I wish I could be like them, she thought. Amanda felt tears in her eyes. Maybe being different was too hard.
Amanda decided to try one more thing. She wanted to join the art class. But when she started drawing, her picture was unlike anyone else's. - Amanda, your drawing is... unique, the teacher said. Amanda didn't know if that was a good or bad thing.
Amanda felt like giving up. She walked home slowly, thinking she would never fit in. - Maybe I should just stop trying, she sighed. Her heart felt heavy. She couldn't find the courage to be herself.
That evening, Amanda's mom shared a story about a brave lion. - The lion was different too, but he found strength in his uniqueness, her mom said. Amanda listened carefully. She realized that being different could be powerful. - Maybe I can be brave like the lion, Amanda thought.
The next day, Amanda returned to school with a new attitude. She decided to embrace her uniqueness. - I love who I am! she said proudly to her classmates. They were surprised and started to see Amanda in a new light. Amanda realized that courage comes from loving yourself.
