Week 2: Who am I? How would I answer that question?

Who am I? I'd like to answer this question by talking about 8 people who I like, who I respect, or who influenced me a lot.


Mesut Oezil

He is a German soccer player. He is originally from Turkey and his family was very poor. But he overcame the difficulty and became a famous soccer player. This doesn't mean that he made efforts only for soccer. Actually, he did his best for studying at school, too.

I hope that I will never give up my dream just because of the difficulty surrounding me.

Bill Kaulitz

He is a German singer from Tokio Hotel. I really like him not only because he is handsome but also he is a cool man. He looks very unique. He wears make-up, and his hair style looks crazy sometimes. But it is his style. He is not afraid of being different from other people.

Sometimes, it is uncomfortable to be different from the majority. But I want to find and accept my characteristic and my unique points.

Freddie Mercury

He was a great singer from the UK. Unfortunately, he passed away already, but his music is still famous and popular. His characteristic was very unique and it was not accepted by the society sometimes. But he did what he wanted to do.

I have many things that I would like to do, but I sometimes hesitate to do some of them because I am afraid of others's criticize. I will try to do all I want to do before my death.

Heisuke Todo

He was a samurai who belonged to Shinsengumi,. He passed away at the age of 23 or 24. He went to the enemy first when Shinsengumi had to fight. He left Shinsengumi because of his belief, and killed in Abura Koji no Hen by Shinsengumi. At this event, he never ran away.

He was almost same age as me when he died. I'm now 20 year old, but have no belief or have no thing to risk my life on. I don't think I have to find it soon, but I'd like to find it. When I find it in the future, I hope I will keep it. I also hope I will never run away from the difficulty.

there is no image. so, this is a picture of Heisuke Todo's sword, Kazusanosukekaneshige.

Toshizo Hijikata

He was a samurai who was belonged to Shinsengumi. He was a farmer originally, but he wanted to be a samurai. It was a very hard dream in Edo period. But he never gave up.

I don't have a dream, such as a dream that I wanna be a doctor. When I find a dream, I would like  not to give up it. Sometimes, it is really hard to make the dream come true. But what I have to do then is to trust/believe in myself and to keep holding the dream.

Kenshin Himura

He is a character from Rurou ni Kenshin. He is a samurai. He is strong and he beats evil enemies. But he doesn't think that winners are always justice, or right. He is that critical to himself.

He is very critical. People around him says "You are a hero, you are justice" or something like that. But he denies it and says that I just did what I think I have to do and it is accepted by chance or thanks to the society. I respect him as a ICU student.

Shanks 

He is a character from One Piece. He is a great pirate. !0 years ago, he saved one boy and he lost one of his arms. But he didn't regret it. He didn't care. He forgive any rudeness to himself, but he never forgive those who hurt his friends.

I think I can risk my life or arms to save my family. But I am not sure that I will do that when it comes to my friends. It doesn't mean I don't like my friends, though. And, I get angry soon....I don't like that my friends are teased by someone, but to tell the truth, I prefer it to that I am teased. I have to have the magnanimity like him.

Portgas D Ace

He is a character from One Piece. He is a very strong pirate, but he died unfortunately. He is not afraid of the enemy, even when they are very strong. He tries not to regret anything in his life. So he is not afraid anything and keeps going his way.

He is really brave. He is really man enough. I am female, but I'd like to be brave like him. I don't want to regret anything in my life, but I sometimes run away from what I'm afraid of, or what I don't like, and I regret it later. I hope I will do what I think I have to do, or what I want to do.

----------------------------------------------------

I really like all of them, respect them, and they influenced me a lot. I am not kind, brave, or critical enough like them. But I'd like to be. 

I think I am a person who want to be myself. I mean I am a person who searching for the answer for the question "Who am I ?".  So, this topic was kinda impossible for me to answer. Sorry.--

But I found out that I want to be brave, kind, critical, and that I want to have self-confidence to do what I want to do. 

(I may be a better person than I expect.)
