Moana - Tamaki Yamada

 The Maori word moana means “sea’ or “ocean”. People in New Zealand sometimes use it in English when talking about the sea. For example, we can say, “We walked by the beach and looked at the moana.” I think this word is interesting because it sounds nice and shows how important the ocean is to Maori people and to New Zealand. It also helps keep the Maori language alive in everyday life.

    When I hear ''Moana'', I usually image Disney movie. I think ''Moana'' is lovely meaning, it also reminds me alive of Maori languages.

Hana Taniguchi -- Peacemaker

  I agree to some extent with the result of my personality test, in which I was assessed as a steady and sympathetic. I do see myself as peaceful person and don’t want to fighting with other people because when I fight with other people, I feel so stress and lose my energy and don’t want to be hurt. But I don’t agree I am self-critical. I think I care about my thoughts.

Machi Kanada - Supervisor

Image
       My personality test result said I was a supervisor, and I think it's half accurate and half inaccurate. I do see myself as stable and practical, because when I work on something, I carefully follow the steps to make sure there are no mistakes. Also, I think it is important to follow rules properly, so I agree with the part that says I tend to get stressed when I see people not following them. However, I don't really like being a leader when working in a group, and I've never been told that I'm bossy, so I don't think that part of the result describes me. From this test result, I got the impression that supervisors are confident and like to take charge, but I don't really like that. I tend to think carefully before I speak, and I sometimes hesitate to express my opinions strongly.
