Introducing myself :

I take Japanese at school. I am adventurous, and I like taking on challenges, which is why I am the president of my entrepreneur club.

One stereotype of the Japanese is that they’re all unemotional, but I’m going to prove that Osakans know how to laugh and have a good time!

When I was in my first year of Japanese, I wrote and performed my own Japanese rap at a competition at the local university. I had a fun time with it and even won a “superior” ribbon. This year, I plan to direct another Japanese play for Language Fair, and perform another song.

 This is a safari in Lincoln.
This is a safari in Lincoln. You can see about 30 mooses here. Mooses are large, brown animals and their antlers look dangerous. They gathered near the water, as it was very hot. I like taking photos outdoors.
These are barns and a field of green soy beans in front of the middle school.
