I might not be able to improve yet, but I was introduced to the Japanese Studying Habits, I can improve in a way by focusing on one singular topic, then once I finished studying that topic, I could start adding more than one topic to focus on.

I appreciate feedback on, my Japanese and I prefer it to come in a form of improvement, because being able to have feedback on my Japanese depends on how strong or weak, I wrote or spoke the sentence, My Japanese is weak at most times since I convince myself that I speak Japanese weakly, and I can’t tell if I’m on track or off track, but getting feedback would definitely be the best option to help me with self improvement.

Some skills I had to develop along the ways were thinking out of the box, which it helped me in a way by increasing my creativity skills, and I was able to increase it by letting my instincts tell me what to do or even sense what I need to do next, just like in short words doing problems that needs to be solved in my own way to be solved, since I couldn’t find the prop I needed for my last project, I had to use a prop that was off the table with the prop I needed, so I used my ‘thinking outside the box’ to solve that problem, and it turns out pretty nice.

To celebrate such accomplishment like, I got to learn the language Japanese and the culture about it, I would celebrate by just studying more Japanese or even sign up for ‘Japanese 10’ since I have finally accomplished a life goal of wanting to learn a little different language from my own language, I would try to embrace what I learnt from this specific language by, speaking Japanese to my own family or even going to Japan and talk to a random person in Japanese beginners level, but overall I would definitely might even want to expand more of this elective as the best I can do to celebrate my accomplishment.

Just like my third core competency paragraph, I would either sign up for ‘Japanese 10’ and practice my Japanese along the way even in the summer, and If I were to give myself a quick advice for myself, I would tell myself to definitely take your sensei’s advice of practicing Japanese for 30 mins or even an hour, and stay on track with the Japanese subject/topic and don’t get distracted with anything at all, even if it’s so interesting to think about.

I chose this mascot because she’s classically kawaii and I would call her ‘Demingo’, she represents Tokyo, she’s popular because of a Japanese dumpling dish called Dango.

Japanese Mascots are far more special from Canada mascots in a way like, first they’re not dull and they’re not boring either, but they have some type of special character trait and personality trait that makes them they’re self and personal hobbies, like my mascot here (Demingo) She loves to sell Dango, and she really loves bunnies, unicorn and donkeys so, she became imaginative and made a cute onesie for herself, and she loves to make Dango and share it to people, cause that’s what makes her herself.

Like I mentioned in my first paragraph, Japanese mascot are far different from another mascot, and they seem to have their own personality trait and different styles with cute designs which makes them unique, and they represent a specific location and advertise any hobby they want, whether it’s car wash, Dango giveaways, or even sumo wrestling, each mascot has their own advertisement and unique trait which makes them popular, unique and lovable. I think Canada should be inspired with these type of mascot traits, but this mascot design is what makes Japan unique and really cool, but Canada should maybe just stick with their own mascot cause its Canada.

Coquitlam being a mascot might be different from every person Pov of the Coquitlam mascot, but I think if Coquitlam had a mascot, it would be like a salmon type and a river view mascot with salmons and fishes, and an open land representation with a bright mountain, tall valley and a great totem which represent the shared territory of Coquitlam, so it looks like freedom.
