A child sits in a circle marked "you", and four cards around them fill in one at a time: interests (a ball and a book), strengths (a drawing and a block tower), family (three people) and culture (food, songs and fireworks for celebrations). The child then lights up because there is only one you in the whole world, and the video ends with the recap "Interests, strengths, family and culture make you, you."
