Isabella – Standing Up for Yourself

Full Episode description

Growing up, we’re taught to stand up for what you believe in. Shouldn’t be too hard, right? But what if it goes against what all your friends are doing? What if it goes against what your teacher and your school is doing? When she was younger, Isabella was faced with a tough choice. Take part in an annual school project that went against her Native American culture, or speak up about the truth and go against her school. Today we’ll hear how she learned to stand up for what’s right and be true to who you are.
