Wairua -- Hana Taniguchi

 I choose 'wairua'. It is mean a spirit  associated with a person or thing, according to Maori beliefs. It refers to the non physical part of a person that exists beyond the body. 'Wai' means water and 'Rua' means two. So, this word express two flow of water.

some example sentence are

Her wairua is strong and full of light.

The wairua of this place feels peaceful.

I still feel his wairua around me.

I think this word is interesting because I’m fascinated by the spiritual beliefs and worldviews of different peoples. It is fun to know how people have same beliefs in diffrent world.

    It's interesting to describe it as two flow waters.

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.
