My reflective essay -- Riko


I used to be a perfectionist. Then I had too high an objective and was too strict with myself. Therefore, if I didn’t manage to achieve what I wanted to do, I was really disappointed and stressed. However, I have realised that I didn’t have to accomplish something perfectly because all of my choices and behaviors might have caused another great life.

When I was a high school student, I was changed. Many friends who I met at the high school are quite cheerful, easygoing, and fearless, and also, they try new things. I was inspired by them to change my timid self into an adventurous person. For example, I started teaching kids dance as an instructor. I was worried if I could do it well because it’s challenging and responsible. However, I have really enjoyed it and it’s been an extremely valuable experience. In addition to this, it is definitely important for me to be tolerant of my mistakes or challenges. Although there is a thing didn’t come out as I want, it surely become a part of fabulous life. When I’m faced with a challenge, I now view it positively.

I’m strongly supposing “everything is going to be fine” and “whatever happens, happens”. These phrases are two of my mottos. Therefore, now, I live my life with less stress than before.

    I felt relaxed with your essay. Because I'm a perfectionist right now. I thought it's important to be easygoing to challenge new things.

    Certainly, It's important to try anything that I want to do.
    I'd like to try anything without feeling fear.

    I also like these phrases. If we face to chanllenging things, and even if we think we can't achieve this thing, but every time this phrases help us to put up with challenging things.

The Ideal School: My Vision -- Riko

Image
                  Since before, some people consider that academic subjects (math, science, biology, history, geography, etc.) are the most important. In addition to this, these days, the 4Cs (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication) are regarded as essential. Although it is true that these subjects and perspectives are extremely important for life, I suppose that it is also significant to learn skills and abilities at a school to live independently.                 This kind of school would have high quality of teaching about housework as much as academic school. Students at the school could learn how to cook, grow plants, make and fix things with some equipment and tools such as kitchens, electric drills, etc.). One of the advantages of this style is that the students would not tend to be bored because they...
