How I reflected on the video was, I was amazed how young children maybe only in grade 1-2 can do all of these things independently and by themselves. I wasn’t nearly their age when I myself started doing these kind of chores.
In my opinion it is good to have children learn to be independent at a young age, it is unfortunate that here in Canada, it is not as safe as it is in Japan.
I have not yet used public transit by myself, but I do walk to school myself.
I was inspired to learn Japanese because the Japanese language seems cool and interesting and I already have some background knowledge in Japanese. I want to learn Japanese because I have a good amount of goals that revolve around learning Japanese.
I will be motivated in Japanese 9 because if I do not pay attention then 10, 11, and 12 will be tough for me to learn and keep up with the other students who actually paid somewhat attention in previous years. I am going to try my best to participate and learn in class to learn new things.
With my newfound education and Japanese skills I hope to accomplish after graduation moving to Japan and living daily life there. I hope to be able to communicate to my extended family that resides in Japan and be able to communicate so they understand. I am not expecting to be fluent after these 4 years but I wish to have basic knowledge of the Japanese language and culture if we can get to that point.
