My Take On Radicant -- Erina Yokobe

First of all, I could hardly understand what the narrator said, and contents of the poems. However, I heard the words “daughter” and “son” from the narrator, while watching an image of the flower, which was on the cover of the pamphlet. I found it interesting that it was expressed by comparing it to a person’s family. Due to this personification, the life of the flower was depicted more dramatically. Regarding to “Pavilion”, I felt it was fantastic that the figure of the plants is changing every time, as it grows. I thought I would like to visit again after some time and enjoy the changes in the plant.

To sum up, I could be able to think that each plants has their own lives, just like humans. There are a lot of flowers in my host family’s garden, so I would like to observe them more deeply.

      Thank you for reply! I tried to observe flowers and plants in the garden closely, but there were so many bugs that I ended up giving up...

    Me too. It was hard to catch the words and comprehend what this content intended to convey. But you tried to understand what the narrator intended, and I’m impressed by you.

    I also have difficulty to understand the poem while I was watching the video as well, Erina. However, at the same time, it was quite fascinating to watch all shapes and components of each plant on the video.

      Thank you for your reply! I aree with you. It's rare to have the opportunity to carefully look at the tiny details of plants, so this was a meaningful experience!

    Insightful response to the exhibition, Erina. I think Bellamy & Fauteux, the artists, would feel that had achieved their goal if they read your response. I imagine that they wanted to stimulate their audience to more carefully observe the plant world.

Emma Rosen suggests asking yourself 3 questions to help clarify what kind of work you should do. They are "What skills do you want to be using at work?" -- Do you like to lead a team, write or solve problems? "What do you want to get out of work?" -- It could be the chance to change the world or to enjoy variety or, say, autonomy in the workplace -- and "What kind of working environment would you prefer?" -- Do you want to work in an office or outdoors, for a big company or start your own? How about you? Respond to Emma's 3 questions in this post. Emma also suggests it is important to do multiple work placements in a range of careers. That way you can choose a job based on knowledge and experience rather than assumptions, hearsay and expectations. Is this something you would like to try? If so, how could you make it happen? Emma characterises herself as a wide achiever rather than a high achiever and suggests that the 'portfolio career' where o...

  I disagree the result of personal test which I am assessed as innovator. I don’t see myself as imaginative, sociable and sympathetic. I like to talking, but I rarely start conversations myself. I also disagree that I assessed as creative, I think creative person act out of line, but I behave as a normal people and have not professionality anything. I only agree with that I am assessed as rebellious. I used to don’t follow what teacher says in school. I did what I wanted to do freely.

  I totally agree with this result. I think one of my strengths is being conscientious and mature. I always care about other people’s feelings and try to see things from different perspectives. This result also says that I tend to avoid conflict, which is true because I don’t like trouble or arguments with others. I try to avoid them as much as possible, even if it means enduring something unpleasant. However, I know that avoiding conflict is not always a good thing and sometimes doesn’t lead to productive outcomes.  If I had to disagree with one point, it would be that others take advantage of me. I’ve never felt that way. If I realized that someone was trying to take advantage of me, I would make sure to express my opinion clearly.
