PSP draft 1 

        I think I started experiencing multi-cultures when I was at Oman. My school was private school by the shell company. I also went to school in Netherland. I had 18 different subjects, it was like liberal classes. Basically, I’m from Netherland. I like to do photographing/filming, dancing and playing sports. Especially, I love to play tennis. Since I love to play tennis, I also want to win every single game. I hate to lose. When I was playing tennis in Netherland, there was on tennis player that kept winning against me. I worked so hard to with against her. It wasn’t easy at all. I also hate to lose against myself. I was also jealous and angry about how she is good and cocky at the same time. I promised myself to win against her. One day, I played another game with her, I finally beat her. I was extremely happy. Since my dad got the job in Sakhalin, I had to move to HIS. Everything was new for me. Culture, food, language and people. My classmate asked me to play volleyball together. Everyone was saying I’m good at serving and spiking. I started liking volleyball. But volleyball can’t change my life in Japan. I met my boyfriend from HIS. He was like great supporter for me. He respects me all the time. He is very mature and he is not the type of guy that hook up girls. Whenever I had frustration, he helped me out with respect. Since HIS is an international school, I get meet a lot of people with different nationalities. I found myself that I’m trustworthy like to have the adventure, very determine, listening other people and help people out. Since I’m graduating in HIS, I had the chance to figure out what kind of job or goal do I have for future? Having a decent job and stay rich might be good too, but I have to be happy and healthy. Those two looks like nothing, but those two are most difficult to keep them with us. The reason why I choose those two as a goal was I’m afraid to live a life with regret and I’m hoping that at the end of my days I would be a free-spirited, cosmopolitan, old lady with vivacity and that I experienced everything I wanted to. To able to achieve my goal, I definitely need to overcome frustration. I usually frustrate inside and keep myself busy to forget about it. I think that makes myself stronger as a person. Since I met a lot of people and experienced a lot of situation throughout living in different countries, I can definitely adapt to new place better than other people. I learned being a control is really important for me. Since I have a lot of work to do before I graduate, I need to really organize as time and myself. I also start to stand myself. Other people’s opinion doesn't matter for me. I don’t always have the right answer, but I also don’t like to get control by other people.

        I met so many people through living in different countries. Meeting a lot of people made me that realized how important it is. I also tried new things as well. Something like photographing/filming, playing tennis and volleyball and dancing. Throughout meeting a lot of new people, I also grow myself to be the better person.

        I love to play tennis, but I hate to lose. I had a game with one player was better than me. Unfortunately, I lost the game against her. I was mad at how I didn’t play well. Since she was good at tennis and cocky at the same time, I wanted to work harder than anybody else to beat her in the tennis game. I’m not the person that showing my frustration to other people. I kept frustration inside and practice for the revenge match. One day, I had another match with her. I promised myself that won’t lose against her. Because of my hard work, I could beat her in the tennis game.

        I lived in few different countries in my life:Oman, Netherland, and Japan. The school in Oman was a private school. I had to take 18 different subjects in Netherland. My final destination of teenage life is at Sapporo, Hokkaido. HIS is completely different from my old schools. Culture, language, people and food. I think moving around 3 countries made myself that enjoy the adventure. That mean as challenge myself in the new atmosphere. I met my boyfriend in HIS. He is very mature and respects me a lot. Because of him, I started to changing. I start listening to people, respect my friends and picking things up quickly. Because of my new strong point, I became student body president in HIS.  

        I have goals for my future. That is staying healthy and happy. Because I’m afraid to live a life with regret and I’m hoping that at the end of my days I would be a free-spirited, cosmopolitan, old lady with vivacity and that I experienced everything I wanted to. Those two virtues are most simple virtues we can hear or see anywhere, but I don’t think anyone is actually happy and healthy all the time. There is no way we can be like that. Because of that, my goal has to be stay healthy and happy.

        I met so many people through living in different countries. Meeting a lot of people made me that realized how important it is. I also tried new things as well. Something like photographing/filming, playing tennis and volleyball and dancing. Throughout meeting a lot of new people, I also grew myself to be the better person.

        I tried so many things in a lot of different places, but my one of favorite new stuff that I tried was tennis. Just watching and playing tennis can make me really happy. I started to play tennis in Netherland. When I finish my school work, I go play tennis. I learned so many things from tennis. Something like how to deal with my frustration. I’m the person that struggle inside and not showing my frustration to other people. I usually try to figure it out myself. What was wrong with it? How should I get better? I give questions to myself and try to solve it myself. I could call help from parents or friends, but I like to be a stronger person by myself. There was one day I had a game with a girl. She was better tennis player than me, but I didn’t care. Unfortunately, I lost the game against her. I asked myself: What kind of mistakes did I make? What was my weakness? I worked on my weakness for the revenge match. Making weakness to the strong point isn’t easy at all. There was one more reason that makes me want to beat her on tennis game was she very cocky and showing off in front of me. That made me want to stop her and prove that I can also be a good player as her. Later on, I had the revenge match against her. That was the very difficult game, but I beat her in the tennis game. That made me very happy. I didn’t want to show off or being a cocky in front of her, because if I do exactly same things as she did it to me, firstly, it’s not cool, lastly, I wanted to respect her as the tennis player.

        Throughout practices and revenge match against her, I learned trying figure my problems out by myself is definitely helpful and useful to me. I also learned to respect other people is one of the important things to keep in our mind, especially, if you are in community with multi-culture.
