The bulk of the story is contained in this episode and I act out each character while also providing commentary of what we see on screen.

This song is intended to be the trailer to "Mulan Part 2!" An episode that covers the second act of 1998's Mulan. Enjoy the music!
This episode marks the first episode in the role model series. In these episodes, we will break down a character and world that they live in to learn more about ourselves. Part 1 of 1998's Mulan covers from the beginning of the movie up until the song, "I'll make a man out of you." Throughout the intro we see that the culture is patriarchal, and the people have internalized the view that men are superior to women. Unwavered by what society expects of her, Mulan will forge her own path and will be forced to fit in as a man. Because Mulan is put in this extreme position, the audience is able to learn from how she chooses to either give in or double down on what makes her different.
This episode I talked about our inner self sending us signals for us to follow our passions. I discussed how other people can condition us to want to be more like them and less like ourself. I then talked about why being ourself is good for not just our happiness but for the future of the world. Finally I talked about giving ourselves validation or finding people to validate us because we deserve to feel good about following what we are passionate about.
