The Magic of Life

This elective term, I've been taking a course called M.A.G.I.C, which stands for Mentoring, Achievement of Goals and Inspiring Champions. During this course, I've been learning about people who inspire us, why they inspire us and why they are seen as successful. I chose to research and study Martin Scorsese, Martin is one of the most famous directors and producers ever. I chose him because I look up to him for inspiration for my films since I want to become a director or editor, I often remind myself of his path of success. During this course, Adam brought in a numerous of people ranging from mentors to a soccer coach, my favorite speaker was Amara. Amara was such a down to earth and was genuine with every answer, even though she was my favorite, I feel like I got a piece of new information from every speaker that will stay with me.  The purpose of this action project is to reflect on this course, by looking at your inspiration, mentors and your goals in life.

Learning Japanese!

This winter, I spent  most of my time out of school trying to improve my Japanese. After school, I would take the train up north to the Korean Center, where I would begin learning and exploring Japanese and its culture for 3 hours and 30 minutes once a week. I've always wanted to go to Japan and a step closer to one day living in Japan would be to learn it's language. I grew up watching anime and seeing my older sisters learning new languages inspired me to find my own love for Japan.  In class I learned beginner Japanese, not only that, I also learned more about Japanese culture from my  Sensei (teacher in Japanese) Kim.  Kim taught me the sentence structure of Japanese and how to have a basic conversation in Japan. This summer I hope to travel to Japan with Greenheart Travel, with the skill I've obtained throughout my Japanese course, I will be able to indulge myself in Japan's culture single-handedly.
