Person who I admire is, of course, my mother. She has been bringing up 5 children since she got marriage. She married when she was 29 years old then she had first child when she was 30 years old. She really worked hard for us and works for us still now. She cooks males every day, but sometime she doesn't cook because she feels tired. When I was in high school, she always made lunch box for me and my brother too. She got up 5:30 a.m., and cook lunch boxes while cooking breakfast. Thanks to her, I did need not to buy lunch at convenience store or gakushoku or something like that. Sometimes I bought lunch at those shops though. Still now, she make lunch box for me, so I don’t need to buy lunch at bakery or gakushoku, and don’t need to line up to buy breads, juice, or lunch set. She is 51 or 52 years old now, but she do well for us. Once I asked her what makes her work hard. She answered that my children is everything, and I can do everything for my children. I was moved that word. I know, most mothers say like that and their children feel something about that like me. When I heard that I thought it is worth asking this kind of questions and knowing that how their mother think and feel about their children.

My older brother is the most selfish person in my family. He is already 20 years old though he still lives with us together. I don’t care about that because in case when I became 20 years old, I’m sure that I still live together with my family. There are so many selfish acts that he do in my house. I’d tell you. About 2 months ago, we bought a new car. He and my father decided to buy a new car without discussing with me or with my family members. Of course, I was really happy to hear that we would buy a new car which name is Hybrid Aqua. Do you know this? This is a kind of Hybrid car, which is kind for the earth. Anyway, what make me angry was not having discussed with us. I think, he is really selfish and wants to act like as if he is the “king” in our house. That makes me think that he is really selfish. I want him to think about what I feel about that when he act like that.

Do you know Rui Kurihara? He is a talent,is tall about 180 cm and is 18 years old, so he and I are same age. He is well known for his negative character. For example, his looks is pretty good. He has waved long black hair, and he always wear a hat. A lot of women and girls say, "kya～,kakkoiiii!!!!!" That means like "You are cool!!" or "You are handsome!!" something like that in English. Then wave their hands to him. When he comes out on the stage, women and girls always do this. But always says, "kakkoyoku arimasen!!!" That means "NO!! I AM NOT COOL OR HANDSOME!!!!" something like that in English. He always denies what other people say. Why he act like that is I think he is just polite. He think what other people feel, think. His polite character make other people think he is negative character.
