wow 12 mins long. I think the story is cool and complicated. The drawings are nice. I would edit edit edit edit. there is a story in a story here and can be told through half the time. But great job well done for the submission.

Amazing Story! I love the characters and the situation you placed them in (Panamanian girl trying to make friends at a new school in the US). It was a perfect vehicle for telling a story about how difficult it can be to remain true to yourself and your heritage, and how tempting it can be to conform, in order to be accepted, to the point where you lose what's unique about you, and end up suppressing your true, amazing self . . . perhaps even hurting and pushing away those who love you and care about you most, in the process. I think everyone will be able to relate to it, whether or not they have ever experienced what it is like to emigrate to another country. I loved it! I didn't find anything unclear about your submission. Your visuals, narration and dialogue made your story, its feeling and meaning, perfectly clear. I really feel your story deserves to be considered for an award. I would love to see you take this all the way and develop it into an animated short. I would be first in line to see it! Congratulations on completing your (awesome) Final Submission for the Story Xperiential!

This is such a beautiful story! Great art and use of color. I think the moral is very important and so positive. Congratulations on such an involved story with a clear message. :)

This story is great. The introduction of color is great. The sound effect works great in your storyreel. The story flows smoothly and is amazing.

I really enjoyed this story, especially the cultural references and the positivity of it! The only suggestion I have is that it seems a bit long, perhaps tighten it up by removing some of the more repetitive parts. There than that i really enjoyed this, very kind and warm spirited. Very nice work!
