What disney Character would I be?

The Disney character that I would be is Mulan. Mulan was a young woman that disguised herself as a Chinese solider in order to substitute her ill father’s place in war. During Mulan’s time this was prohibited and if exposed she would have been penalized by death. Yet, knowing the consequence she still went on with her decision. While, in war she rescued the prince and was awarded for her deed. This action proved that a woman’s strength and courage was equal to a man’s. Throughout the story Mulan attempted to find her identity and bring honor to her family‘s legacy. In an event, the prince discovered she was a woman and discharged her from his army. Though, she was discharged from the Chinese military she at the end helped save China from an invasion. Mulan’s story brings awareness on how woman not just in China ,but internationally are oppressed by societies’ norms. Yet, there are few woman who challenge society’s authority and are recognized for their deeds.

I see myself as Mulan because I too was not much of a feminine female and was always trying to prove that women were equal to men. My goal was always to be the son my father always desired, which is similar in Mulan’s case because she was the only child and her father wished for a son. Legacy is also a pivotal part in my life not because of family ,but to prove that a single Hispanic mother can raise a well-educated and successful woman. Also like Mulan I am a very determined person and never let norms discourage my beliefs. Though, at times I may fail I continue to fight, but with even more determination. Mulan’s and my journey through life is similar because at the end of our stories we were able to find our identities and accomplish our goals.
