Why Does Aparna Mulberry Feel Like an Indian? Find out

Aparna Mulberry is a model of the fact that a person’s identity is well-rooted in one’s sense rather than what the world classifies them to be. Aparna Mulberry may not be a Malayali girl by birth, but this half-American, half-Chilean girl can speak sounder Malayalam than most Keralites. When she was three years old, her parents were fond of spiritual leader Amritanandamayi’s ashram in Kollam.

Though originally, she was in Vivekananda Public School, which was not an English medium school, she soon moved to Amrita Vidyalayam, where she did her primary and higher secondary schooling. Aparna accepts that language can break many obstacles and that she would not have had the same set of friends had she not learned Malayalam.

According to Aparna, the big turning point in her life was when the tsunami struck the state in 2004. A couple of months after the tragedy hit, Aparna transferred to the US to be with her father for a while. Thanks to her father, Aparna came out of her difficult phase and embraced her true self—an American girl who is a Malayali at heart.

She moved back to the US in 2005 where she completed high school and university. When she was a student in the US, she participated in a program called AmeriCorps NCCC that employs 18 to 24-year-olds in the United States in community service. As a part of the program, she has a chance to visit a few other schools for lower-income students and she loves to help the teachers there in their classes. Some of them were not skilled to handle the classes so she would take over. That was her first time teaching in her life. 

There, she created a system of grouping students who were struggling and offering them special tutoring sessions, and it was very helpful. The following year, in 2009, she went back to Kerala and revisited the school that she had studied in years ago. And she executed the same system in Kerala and it functioned just as well. In 2011, she transferred to Thailand briefly where she performed as a tutor with a company called VIP Kid, where tutors in the US teach English to children in China. She worked with the company remotely for 5 years.
