Il Primo Giorno di Scuola di Rania Un Inizio Carico di Emozioni Rania, una ragazza di 15 anni ,si prepara per il suo primo giorno di scuola secondaria di secondo grado. Alta e magra, con i capelli castani, si dirige verso la scuola con il suo zaino sulle spalle. Ha portato con sé il diario, un quaderno e l'astuccio, ma lo zaino sembra incredibilmente pesante. Non sa ancora che il peso che sente sulle spalle non è dovuto ai libri, ma a un problema motorio legato a una malattia degenerativa. Ansie e Preoccupazioni Anche per Laura, il primo giorno di scuola è colmo di paure. Da un po' di tempo soffre di attacchi d'ansia in situazioni nuove. Accanto a lei, Luca, affetto dalla sindrome di Down, si sente triste perché non può fare alcune cose da solo, come prendere l'autobus. Racconti e Scoperte Mindi, una ragazzina marocchina, condivide con emozione le sue esperienze estive trascorse in Marocco con i nonni. Durante l'ora di ginnastica, si scopre che Marco non può fare esercizi in piedi per un mese a causa di una caviglia rotta giocando a calcio. Nel frattempo, Nala chiede aiuto a Rania per organizzare la sua festa di compleanno. È discalculica e si vergogna a dirlo ai compagni, rendendole difficile fare calcoli senza una calcolatrice. Nuovi Arrivi e Sfide Dopo qualche giorno, arriva Artur, proveniente da un paese in guerra. Si sente arrabbiato perché non può permettersi i vestiti o uno smartphone come i suoi compagni. Mei, invece, è appena arrivata dall'Asia e non parla italiano, sentendosi ai margini della classe. Comprensione e Sostegno Reciproco Con il passare dei giorni, Rania inizia a capire che ognuno dei suoi compagni porta con sé un peso invisibile. Più si conoscono, ridono e si aiutano a vicenda, più il suo zaino sembra alleggerirsi. È una scoperta che le permette di comprendere il valore dell'amicizia e del sostegno reciproco, rendendo il suo percorso scolastico meno solitario e più significativo.

Instruction: 1. illustration very simple During the Civil War, the Transcontinental Railroad aimed to link the U.S. coasts. The Central Pacific Railroad started in Sacramento, CA, employing Chinese laborers, and the Union Pacific in Omaha, NE, with Irish immigrants, Civil War veterans, and freed slaves. Up to 20,000 Chinese workers joined, including 12-year-old Li Wei and his father, who faced discrimination with lower pay and no food or housing. The work was extremely dangerous, with rockslides, explosions, and avalanches, especially in the Sierra Nevada, where workers faced harsh winters and isolation. Sadly, Li Wei’s father died in a rockslide. In 1867, Li Wei and many Chinese workers went on strike for better pay and conditions, but saw limited success. Tensions rose with Native American tribes, like the Cheyenne, who derailed a train near Plum Creek, NE, reflecting the challenges of westward expansion. Despite these struggles, progress continued. On May 10, 1869, the railroad was completed at Promontory Summit, UT, marking a new era in American transportation. Afterward, Li Wei and others faced discrimination in finding work and often lived in isolated Chinatowns. On October 24, 1871, violence erupted in Los Angeles’ Chinatown, killing 19 Chinese, including Li Wei’s friend. In 1875, grieving, Li Wei returned to China. The Transcontinental Railroad was transformative, yet costly for Chinese workers who made up most of the Central Pacific workforce. Facing discrimination and hazardous conditions, they were key to the railroad’s completion. Over 1,200 Chinese workers died, highlighting their sacrifice. Despite advancing U.S. infrastructure, they encountered ongoing hostility and laws against them. Their resilience underscores their overlooked role in shaping 19th-century America.

In this heartwarming and introspective story, Celine holds a mysterious mirror that has always given her answers to life’s questions—big or small, personal or profound. Every time she asks about her dreams or her path, the mirror provides clear guidance, and she’s come to trust it fully. But when she dares to ask, “Salamin, ano ba talaga ang kasarian ko?” the mirror shows her something different: memories instead of a direct answer. Through these visions, Celine revisits her childhood, teenage years, and young adulthood. As a child, she sees herself happily embracing her feminine identity. As a teen, she starts to realize her attraction to other girls, causing her to question the labels others place on her. By early adulthood, Celine is asking her friends to use they/them pronouns, feeling that neither “girl” nor “boy” completely fits. The mirror finally returns to the present, showing only her reflection—silent, with no clear answer. In this reflective journey, Celine learns that gender is not a fixed concept; rather, it’s fluid and ever-evolving. The mirror doesn’t provide a single answer because gender itself is a journey that changes and grows. Ultimately, Celine understands that she is free to define her own identity, unrestricted by rigid labels. "Salamin, Salamin. Kailan Ako Magiging si Celine" is a tale about embracing one’s evolving identity, learning that true self-acceptance means being open to change, and realizing that gender is a personal journey, as unique and dynamic as the person living it.
