My Reflective essay -- Yusuke

 Almost 3 years ago, I had a big trouble which I hadn’t experienced before. The trouble was that I felt lonely after living alone when I started to study at university.I had lived with my parents for a long time since I was born, so I wasn’t accustomed to living alone. Moreover, my house was far from my university, which made me feel even more isolated.

Next, I’ll explain how I got over this situation. At first, I had no idea how I should deal with this trouble, so I used to go back to my hometown so often. However, one day, I decided to start a part-time job. As I started to work, I could build new relationships with colleagues. We used to hang out together after finishing work, like driving to watch the night view. It relieved me of my loneliness. Furthermore, I realized it is essential to adapt to new environments because every time a life stage changes, human relationships change.

By experiencing this problem, I became mentally stronger, so I appreciate being able to experience it now. In the future, perhaps, incidents like this will happen. Nevertheless, thanks to this experience, I learned how to overcome difficulties, and it will definitely help me  to solve any similar problems that arise.

    I had never imagined about loneliness at living alone, but I think feeling isolated makes feel negative and it's difficult to overcome it by alone. I thought making a new relationships is good way to solve the loneliness.

    I tend to feel homesick, so I feel you a little bit, I have never lived alone before though. However for my part, interacting with other people is the easiest way to get used to new environment, and get over feelings of lonelyness and nervousness.

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...
