Personal Challenges In The Play 'Finding Her Way'

Everyone is different. Whether it’s disabilities or appearance, we are all different. So that doesn’t mean you should treat others differently just because they're different than you. And if you judge someone because of their differences, it can lead to personal challenges. In the interview “Finding Her Way”, and the play “Kylie’s Project, Angela and Kylie both have personal challenges to overcome. Angela had to overcome being made fun of because she was Korean. Kylie had to overcome the challenge of being disabled. Both texts show how Angela and Kylie cope with their situations, but also demonstrate new ways in which people cope with these challenges.
First of all, both texts show how Angela and Kylie cope with their situations. Angela just moved from South Korea to Detroit. She was the only Asian girl in her school, she spoke Korean, and she wasn’t that rich. That led to kids teasing and making fun of her. So Angela coped with it, and the teasing eventually ended. Angela coped with it by ignoring
them or pretending they weren’t there. I know this because in the interview, it states “Once in awhile I would talk back, but mostly I would try to ignore them and pretend they didn’t bother me. I had friends who would stand up for me sometimes.” This shows that Angela coped with the bullying and teasing by ignoring them or pretending the didn’t bother her. On the other hand, Kylie is disabled. She needs a wheelchair, and this can cause some personal challenges. But she coped with it and moved on. One way she coped with the challenges is by riding her horse. It help her with day to day stuff, like coordination and balance. I think this because the play states “Riding has made me a lot stronger and has improved my balance and coordination.” this shows that riding helps her cope with her challenges because it helps her with basic stuff.
Next, their experiences demonstrate different ways in which people cope with these types of challenges.
The way Angela handled her personal challenge could help others in the future. For example, Angela just ignored them or pretended they weren’t there. I know this because the interviewer states “Once in awhile I would talk back, but mostly I would try to ignore them and pretend they didn’t bother me.” So if everyone does what Angela did, there will be much less bullying and teasing. The same goes for Kylie. Kylie has a disability where she can’t walk, and that puts up daily challenges she has to go through. To cope with this, she rides her horse because it gives her balance and coordination. But because she handles it this way, this can help others as well. If people a similar disability does what Angela does, they can experience the same benefits and help with their lives as well. This can limit the number of challenges they have to face, which is why this could
help.
In conclusion, Angela and Kylie both cope with their differences in different ways, and that could help others as well. Angela moved to America from South Korea, and people tease her. So she ignores them. And by doing this, this could help end bullying and teasing. Kylie is disabled and needs a wheelchair, so she copes with it by riding her horse. And if other disabled kids can do something similar to this, they will benefit as well. People will handle challenges differently, and that could demonstrate different ways in which people cope with challenges.
