What do you think Ms. Ariana Miyamoto as Japan's representative?

  To be honest, the last class was the first time to see Arianea Miyamoto. So, I didn't think something especially when the teacher said that she is a representative of  Japanese ladys. My first impression for her were that she is actually beautiful but isn't enough to be a represantative and that she doesn't look like a Japanese. Without any knowledge about her, I should not write about her, so I researched about her a little.

  Before I know her, I didn't totally agree with that she is a representative of miss universe because of her appearance. However, I changed the thought. she was born in Nagasaki and lived in there until she went to study abroad when she was 15 years old. She spent almost all part of her life in Japan and it can be said that a lady who had been brought up in Japan with Japanese since she was born have the same thought way with any other Japanese.

  But this is also a fact that Ms. Ariana can not be seen exactly like a Japanese for us. This topic is so controversial tha t there are a lot of articles and video debating about her on the Internet. On youtube there are also many video and comment. In one of those, a interviewer asked "Do you want to support ArianaMiyamoto (Miss Universe Japan 2015) as Japan's representative?" to people in Japan. Most Japanese answered yes, and a lady said "Well, with regard to Japanese-ness, I felt she was quite Japanese when I saw her on TV. Likewise, if she wants to support Japan, and if she wants to make it in Japan, I would like to support her."

 In the interview, about her mixed background is also asked. Many people said nealry the same with my opinion that her background is the reason she is Japanese rather than is problem. For example, a man said "I don't think the contest is just about the appearance. It's also about the kind of stuff you won't learn unless you grow up in Japan. So people shouldn't judge her solely by her appererance."

  This topic may become a good oppotunity to think about some discrimination to foreigners and mixed people. I have many friends like these, and I've never looked down on or hate such people. However, I might have a little minds to see mixed people special. Because, in the video, every Japanese accept mixed people but they also recognize that there is a discrimination to some extent. through this homework, I strongly thought it is important that everyone should feel usual to be mixed people or foreigners next to us in a class. This may be the first step to make a true grobal society.

Patricia landfalled on Mexico

  Scott Kelly, a NASA astronaut of the International Space Station tweeted several phones of Hurricane Patricia on Friday. It is certain that the scale of it is more catastrophic than any other ones which we experienced. I have known about the news but I didn't mentioned specially because this is that happened in the other side in the world.

These pictures made me so scared and its scale was much beyond my expectation. I also felt Patricia is beautiful weather phenomena because of her scale. However, it was not beautiful one but a terrible weather disaster on the ground.

 The storm made landfall in Mexico on Friday, with winds reaching speeds of 165 mph. Hours after making landfall, the storm weakened but still packed winds of 130 miles per hour (210 km per hour). There was flooding in parts of the city, though it escaped the worst of the immensely powerful storm. Visitors and residents weathered the hurricane's onslaught in emergency shalters hoping it would not do as much damage as the last storm of this magnitude, Typhoon Haiyan , which killed thousands of people in the Phillippines in 2013. THe storm killed over 6,300people and wiped out or damaged nearly everything in its path on November. 8, 2013, destroying around 90 percent of the city of Tacloban.

 About 400,000 individuals live in the areas expected to be affected. It slammed into a stretch of sparsely populated coastline near the popular beach gateway of Puerto Vallarta, where 15,000 tourists were evaluated to avoid torrential rain and potentially lether winds. In Puerto Vallarta, the heart of a string  of resorts that range from low-end mega hotels to exclusive villas attracting tech billionaires and pop stars, loudspeakers had blared orderds to evacuate hotels ahead of Patricia's arrival. The streets emptied as police wailed in anticipation of Patricia, which gathered strength suddenly on Thursday night. "Whichever way you turn, there's debris," said Juan Michel, 36, a hotel manager in the resort of  Barra de Navidad to the northwest of Manzanillo, who was taking cover from Patricia with 13 others. "We've never seen anything like this.

 In such situation, Scott Kelly had just tweeted an imposed image of the giant storm from 249 miles (401 km) above Earth on the International Space Station along with the massage:"Stay safe below, Mexico."  I've never tweeted but recognized a strong impact of it, which enable to show what's happening at somewhere in the world. I was afraid of dangerous of SNS but such a speedy communication tools can be said difinitly useful for us.

What do you do to keep things whole?

  I am a student of University of Tsukuba. I'm belong to a triathlon club. These are my main posision in the University. I study at classes. I run, swim and ride. When I am asked why I study everyday, I maybe answer because I wanna learn subjects about sports or I have to earn enough credit to graduate the University. Not only I but everyone also would answer likewise. But I think there is another reason. Friends, teachers are there. This is the most important motivation to do something I think. If I just want to learn and don't have a teacher, I'm enough to study by myself with some textbooks. I can say the same things about others. I practice hard not only to improve but also compete and beat rivals, including my club members. If my teammates become faster than me, I would be so motivated that I train hard and hope to win. Competing with someone is important than my improvement. It is true for competiter, too, I think. When I lose, I practice hard and I will beat someone. It means he or she come to practice hard and hope to win. In this way, someone is moved by someone and everything is rotating through people around me. My each action reflects on people like the mirror.
  I see and think about people to accomplish things. I can do things because there are a lot of people around me and I believe that I can become a part of someone's motivation. I think moving thinking about someone is essential to keep whole things.

what do i desire?

  Like the video, if there were no money, I don't want to work. I have a dream. No, a lot of things what I really want to do. I want to spend my life to play many out-door sports such as diving, skiing, surfing, and so on.
  I had hardly been interested in them until I go to an island two years ago the summer. My friends and I went to Kozu island which is located in far south away from Tokyo. We brought a little things enough to enjoy and to survive for three days but without any foods. In Kozu island, we only did something to survive. Seeking water to drink, hunting fishes with harpoon and making fire to cook captured fishes. I did't think that I were playing at that time, I were only living, however, I was more excited than any other time. I killed a fish by myself for the first time. I aporogized to it but it was very dilicious although it was only baked and salted. I swum in the sea which is sorrounded by high criff and jumped there from about 10 meters above. When it's getting dark, I slept in a tent and I waked up with the sun rises, but I didn't think a day is short at all.Through these experiences, I came to hope to play in nature; ocean, river, forest, and sky.
  After entrance exam, I earned a diving license right away and I went to Okinawa to dive in one of the most transparent ocean in the world. About fourty minutes in the sea was beyond my expectation and I felt it were only few minutes. I strongly thought this is where I really wanna stay in my life. I came to prefer nature to enclosed city in Tokyo. In the sea, I can swim with a lot of fish and feel like as if I were a member of flock, and I draft along trade toward the same direction with them. Not only feel the great ocean, I could feel myself stronger than live on the ground. My skin reacted to just a little tempereture changing.To stay in deep during heavy gravity, I need to be calm, breatahing slowly and my eyes feel more alart. I noticed that I WERE LIVING.
  Through such a some playing in the nature, I learned the greatness of them what I cannot learn in a class, with a textbook. They were a great teacher for me which made me recognized my beating heart. And now, I hope that I would live with them, in them for the last time in my life. If "always" is difficilt a little, I am enough if I could play whenever I want. And I also noticed that to do whatever I want to, I need money. It cost too much money to prepare safely enough. I started this essay "if there were no money" but money do not, will not fade away in front of us after all. However, if I need money for the dream, I won't think to work is idle. I won't think it is waste of time. Whatever I do now, If I have a clear dream or I do something to dream come true, I would be in a great happy life.

  Few minutes after the vidio was started, I noticed that there were only black skin students. I soon thought that this is one of the most explicit examples of segregation. I couldn't hear what they say and what had been happening in the screen first. However, I clearly    felt there was a segregation in the background. It seemed that they insisted that they weren't wrong. They only invited or enjoyed the pool. The girl who shouted and pressed down the grass looked like angry not only for police officers but for unfair discrimination widely spreaded in the U.S. The boy who got in handcuff looked as if he gave up and accept the circumstance.
  Police officer's behaviours are terrible, I feel. Standard in the U.S. maybe more fierce than that of Japan. But, the police officer was obviously beyond the common sense. Japanese police officers never do such a bullish act but try to soothe if two drunkards were excited and started fighting.
  I have a question more. Were the curious outlookers few though there was such a trouble, were it? Was it usual in the U.S.? Or was the usual thing is such a trouble?

  American police officers often behave offensive. In contrast, I think Japanese ones are quiet a little to work as hero who protect residents. When I was a child, they were one of the my heros and a symbol of strength. I was excited and felt that I have to behave myself when I see them in the town. I don't say just about my individual opinions. I think their strong and tough images would connect to a kind of theirdignity and would reduce troubles in the town. For Japanese police officers who are difficult to even get set guns , their dignity would be very important for safety towns. Then, Japan, especially Tokyo will increase forrigners . I apprehend that the number of crimes will increase by such a visiters who surpass in built.
  However, It can say that they are so kind. When I visited N.Y, American ones are not kind at all, or irritated a little. Japanese police officers, especially in police station, are always kind when I talk or greeting. Last year, DJ police became famous in Japan. They (he, maybe) were known when regulate crowded intersection in Shibuya. Their funny and kind speaking make possible to do smooth transaction and to be in a news immediately. After that, the police officer was prized by headquarters and they held DJ police competition.
  Police officers are in the town to provide safe for residents. The way of this may different between Japan and America. However, this policy is common all over the world .

my memory of the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake

  When I was eighth grader, in the biological experiment laboratory in my school in Tokyo, I had the biggest earthquake in my life. Water in fish tanks leaked and some experiment tools fell down the floor. About two minutes later, we stood up, then our teacher watched a news flash soon.
  I thought the earthquake is a terrible disaster. However, it became a small funny day when our teacher told that we should stay there by tomorrow. For 14 years old boys, nothing is fun than staying in the school. Not delicious cookies as a dinner become delicious if we eat with friends. Thin blanket become very hot after playing with friends .
We enjoyed this rare opportunity until my parents pick my friend and me up. We didn't know what had happened in Japan, in Tohoku at all at that time. We still enjoyed an unusual day. We ate snacks and sung as if the enclosed space were a karaoke room. About 1 hours may be passed. We were so excited and continued talking and laughing .
  About 2 hours had passed. We finally got tired and found that we almost at the same place as 2 hours ago.
  We realized that this is an unpleased special day little by little. The car hardly proceed due to very heavy traffic jam. It took 1hours to proceed 1 km. Most of the streets in Tokyo fell of innumerable cars. Hundreds of people walked for hours. Train had stopped, so a lot of people couldn't go back home in Tokyo. When I arrived my home, I was so exhausted and it had passed more than 6 hours.
  After deep asleep, I saw unbelievable scenes on TV. Everything is beyond my experiences. I called my grandmother who lives in Yamagata next to Miyagi. In Yamagata, no electronics had provided since the earthquake. They stayed all night below the freezing point without any heaters. To the worst, heavy snowfall hit Tohoku next day. I was irritated to have nothing  to do for suffering people.
  Some friends and I started correcting anything what they had used or already don't need from neighbors. Shoes, clothes, daily necessities, and some donated foods like canned foods. We finally corrected more than 200 items incruding message cards what children in the kindergarten wrote.
  "Gambatte! "
  "Ouenshitemasu!"
  Every cards were filled with many heartful words. Everyone who came hoped that Tohoku come back as soon as possible.
  I started this volunteer hoping to it would help people in Tohoku  first. But, I realized that this project become for not between Tohoku people and I, but for everyone who took part in. Through the project, I found great bond between Tohoku people and my neighbours nneighbours and I , and my friend and I.
 
  3.11 is unforgettable day. many people had died or displaced. But there was good memories, too. I didn't know that we are all connected everywhere and everytime. We want to forget the sadness. However, we never forget the bond forever. With the strong power, we and Japan will accomplish everything.
