My Name Is Mina - Responding to a text...

WALT: respond to a key text

S.C: I can describe, and explain at least one key idea from the text, “My Name Is Mina”

Key Idea - Stay True To Yourself!

Why “Do you have to stay true to yourself”?

It is important to stay true to yourself... because everyone has a different mindset, and personality! Some in this world, have similarities and some in this world don’t. Everybody is unique in their special way! No one has the right, to change themselves.. Just to impress somebody else! Everyone has the right to be themselves, and to be proud of who they are.

Bullet Points:

• If you become somebody else on the way, you might lose your friends!
• Sometimes if you don’t believe nothing is possible.
• If you believe in yourself throughout the whole way, you will be able to achieve anything in life, you're aiming towards.
• If you don’t say true to yourself, sometimes who will.

Mina’s character:

• When everyone surrounding her had many similarities, she felt like she didn’t have to change herself just to impress them.
• She believed in herself the whole way, and she wasn’t ashamed of who she really was.
• She ignored what others had thought of her, and carried on with her life, whatsoever.
• She was her own character, and no matter how everyone was the same person, she chose to become herself... her own inspiration.
• She was strong on her own.

How Mina showed it in the text:

• Getting bullied.
