It is interesting to think about what a persons favourite disney character says about their personality.

I used to identify with Mulan. I often feel that there's a secret me I'm forced to hide. It is hard to be yourself when people are judging you and it is easy to become someone you are not just to fit in.

But the character that reveals the most about me is STITCH.

I thought I just liked him because he is funny and not the normal kind of Disney character. But there is more to it than that, which at times are hard to admit.

Stitch is a very lonely character who does not know where he fits in. He's lost. He has no family and desperately wants to be part of one. He pushes people away by being destructive and messes up everything around him as he does not understand the feelings of sadness and lonliness he is feeling. I am more like Stitch than I ever care to admit to. The film Lilo & Stitch did help me in many ways. Stitch became a part of Lilo's "Ohana" (family). It shows that family does not have to be conventenal. Family can be your friends.

I realise now that I do have family. My "ohana" consists of my very special friends. They will always be there for me and will never let me down.

Give it a go. Have a think about what your favourite Disney character is really revealing about your character and feelings. It may surprise you!
