Personal Childhood Web

The people who nurtured and cared about me when I was a child are my mother, father, and brother.  Also I always had teachers who cared about me.  

My mother took care of me by cooking every day so that I was healthy and able to grow.  When I was very young she helped me with my homework.  She made me feel special because she made sure that I had everything I needed to live and be good at school. 

My father was often busy and worked late. Sometimes he played with me.  He made me feel special because he gave me a ride whenever I needed. This was his role, because he was the only one who could drive.  I care about what to eat for my health thanks to my mother and I take working to earn money for living as very important thing for family thanks to my father.

My brother is only 4 years older than me, but he had most influence on me.  He played with me often and became a role model for me as I got older.  Since he is smart and always a good leader, I often think what he would do when I run into difficulties.  He made me feel special by making sure that I was safe.
I have several favorite teachers. 

My first preschool teacher, Mrs. Sasaki, was very warm and kind lady.  I cried every day and she tried to comfort me.  One day she made me a necklace with cherry blossom petals since I was crying.  I put it in a safe place and kept it for a long time.  She taught me how adults can comfort children by smiling and talking to them intimately. 

I loved my fifth and sixth grade teacher, Mrs. Mabashi.  I was cheerful and good at making whole the class unite.  She made us feel special by answering personal questions without avoiding them or hiding the truth. She also made an effort to understand our feelings.  Looking back, she is my ideal teacher, and I think she influenced on how I acted in front of my students when I became a teacher myself.

The work of a master!

This is a drawing of my daughter who is four.  She drew this last winter and I kept it because I really liked it. I chose this because it is fun to look at.  I found it interesting that she did a great job at some stuff but others are so unrealistic.  I think she drew the features of each character very well.  Do you see Santa Clause with his reindeer?  The snowman?   But a huge flower is floating above the sun.( LOL )  

I uploaded a picture of the master herself too.

This is my favorite book.

My favorite children’s book is Ichigobatakeno Chiisana Obaasan (Tiny Grandma of the Strawberry Patch).  This is a Japanese book but I am going to introduce it because the idea it has for how strawberries become red is so much fun.  It is this grandma that makes the strawberries red.  She lives under ground.  She carries spring water from the bottom all the way up above the ground to mix sunlight to it. This is a hard job for her because she has to climb a lot of steps and repeats many times because she is so tiny.  After the water gets enough light, she moves the water to a huge pot in a room underground.  Then she digs green rocks and crushes them.  When she puts the green rocks to the water, the water changes to red.  She climbs up again out the ground with a bucket of the red water, brush and paints all of the strawberries. Isn’t it a cute story?

This is me and my younger daughter.

I chose this picture because my daughter looks cute.
