Her first day she rides the bus and the kids start to make fun of her name. She feels that she doesn't quite fit in with the other kids because her name is so much different than anything they have ever heard. ]]> 2017-10-05 13:20:18 UTC https://padlet.com/waterpolojordi/5bamkabu2ulc/wish/194289730 waterpolojordi https://padlet.com/waterpolojordi/5bamkabu2ulc/wish/197032308 2017-10-14 14:31:47 UTC https://padlet.com/waterpolojordi/5bamkabu2ulc/wish/197032308 waterpolojordi https://padlet.com/waterpolojordi/5bamkabu2ulc/wish/197032339 After attending the first day at her new school, Unhei is excited to get home. Home is the place where she feels that she fits in and can really be herself. Her mom can tell that she is a little bit down after her day, and tells her that she needs to study hard, behave nicely, and get good grades because that is what good Korean's do. This adds more pressure to Unhei. She already feels that she is at a disadvantage in her new school because of her Korean heritage, but this just adds to her problem. ]]> 2017-10-14 14:32:15 UTC https://padlet.com/waterpolojordi/5bamkabu2ulc/wish/197032339 waterpolojordi https://padlet.com/waterpolojordi/5bamkabu2ulc/wish/197032812 2017-10-14 14:37:27 UTC https://padlet.com/waterpolojordi/5bamkabu2ulc/wish/197032812 waterpolojordi https://padlet.com/waterpolojordi/5bamkabu2ulc/wish/197032852 After Unhei's first few days of school in the United States she goes grocery shopping with her mom. At a Korean-American market she speaks with the owner who compliments her name because he knows that Unhei means grace. She starts to realize that it is more important for her to know the meaning of her name and live up to that meaning, than to have a "normal" American name like the rest of her classmates. ]]> 2017-10-14 14:37:46 UTC https://padlet.com/waterpolojordi/5bamkabu2ulc/wish/197032852 waterpolojordi https://padlet.com/waterpolojordi/5bamkabu2ulc/wish/197033534 After speaking to the owner of the market Unhei decides that she needs to figure out the name she will go by at her new school. She stands in the mirror and tries out a variety of popular girl names in America. She doesn't know that any of them really fit. Her school class starts a jar of names that they think fit her. She realizes that none of the names really fit.]]> 2017-10-14 14:44:48 UTC https://padlet.com/waterpolojordi/5bamkabu2ulc/wish/197033534 waterpolojordi https://padlet.com/waterpolojordi/5bamkabu2ulc/wish/197033943 2017-10-14 14:50:09 UTC https://padlet.com/waterpolojordi/5bamkabu2ulc/wish/197033943 waterpolojordi https://padlet.com/waterpolojordi/5bamkabu2ulc/wish/197033991 Unhei debates for a few days. She realizes that her classmates really do care a lot about her. After all, they are trying their hardest to find her a name that she feels comfortable with. They really want her to feel that she can comfortably organize with the rest of them, and together they can all make the community a better place. The name jar suddenly goes missing, and she decided to introduce herself to her school class as Unhei. She shares the meaning of her name, and the rest of the class quickly points out the meanings of their names. ]]> 2017-10-14 14:50:39 UTC https://padlet.com/waterpolojordi/5bamkabu2ulc/wish/197033991 waterpolojordi https://padlet.com/waterpolojordi/5bamkabu2ulc/wish/197034400 2017-10-14 14:55:07 UTC https://padlet.com/waterpolojordi/5bamkabu2ulc/wish/197034400 waterpolojordi https://padlet.com/waterpolojordi/5bamkabu2ulc/wish/197034447 After Unhei decides to stick with her Korean name and teaches her class how to pronounce the name, she decides that she really does fit in. The experience of adapting to the United States made Unhei realize that she really wasn't at a disadvantage in her classroom. Her classmates really rallied around her and made her realize that she is just as important and intelligent as the rest of the class. Unhei is not at a disadvantage because of her heritage, and she is given the chance to organize with the class in ways that they are able to benefit the whole community. ]]> 2017-10-14 14:55:34 UTC https://padlet.com/waterpolojordi/5bamkabu2ulc/wish/197034447
