Please look at the picture above. This is picture taken in Batangas beach, which is near from Manila, the capital city of philippines.
I was born in Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, and mainly brought up in Yokohama and Philippines.
In Philippines, I learned in International School of Manila, where I improved my English skills. I also went to many places in Philippines for trip while I lived there, and I earned the kids license for scuba diving. Philippines is beautiful country in the countryside, and has lots of valuable nature, like coral reef. However as many developing countries do, they hold problems in its safety. Furthermore, Philippines is now suffering from serious effects of typhoon, so I would like people to realize and help the citizens in Philippines, living just 3000 kilometers away from Tokyo.
Also, some people might know me as the graduates of ICU High School. I was a club leader of badminton club in there, where I became interested in leadership. I learned how hard it is to gather and find the best solution the conflict of people, so I would like to learn what kind of leader could make people make people come to agreement in peace.
I am looking forward to learn with you in the same RW class! ;)
Hi Miku,
ReplyDeleteThanks for both these posts, for introducing yourself and your connection to the Philippines as well as your leadership experience, and for your thoughts on our readings. Do be aware, of course, that many of the strategies covered in this class might need to be modified some for Japanese environments (power posing could be considered rude in many Japanese contexts).
