Synopsis: Betty O. Chan moved from Hong Kong to London at six years old, becoming one of only two Asian students in her grade. Her class had a weekly “Star of the Week” tradition, where each selected student wore a sparkly pink tiara and did something special for the group. Paige showcased her artistic talents by drawing on the whiteboard each day, while Daisy brought homemade cookies. When Betty’s turn arrived during Lunar New Year, she decided to share her culture by bringing festive decorations and rice cakes to her class. Initially anxious about standing out, Betty received overwhelming support from her classmates and teachers, who were eager to learn about the holiday. By highlighting an important aspect of her heritage, Betty not only felt more at home in her new environment but also fostered greater understanding and inclusivity among her peers.
