learning to speak a new language is one of the best decisions i ever made! this summer, i traveled throughout japan with my robotics team and was able to communicate with almost everyone we met. next year, i’m planning to live in japan as an exchange student. i think it will me improve my japanese reading and writing skills. i hope all my friends get inspired to learn a language, too!

should you be the one doing this journal entry? it says "your special talent or skill". are you gonna lie 'bout your talent and make us fake a talent for you?

also this is a really easy journal entry, you can just think of a skill your good at and write did you work hard to become good at this skill (ex: drawing, writing, math, playing music, etc.) or does it come naturally (like a cool trick that you can do with your body). you can do all of that in 150 words. just try and think of a talent and even if your bad at this talent just say your working hard to become good at it.
