Winner of the Halloween Costume Photo Contest

He won these pizes!!



"Thank you for the prizes Nami. The Hi-Chews were great. I'll try to find a light to put in the paper lantern. My dad deserves most of the credit for this costume actually, he carved the pumpkin (he always does, I am not good at carving pumpkins) and he helped me with the costume, although I designed both."

Amazing Student - Anthony Peterson

Most hard working student - Anthony Peterson

Anthony Peterson is originally from Vancouver. Since graduating from McGill University with an engineering degree, he has worked for a company in Vancouver as a marine structural engineer. He came to Newfoundland to build wharf in Long Harbour. His working schedule is irregular because he has to work when the ocean is low tide. He spends time studying engineering even after work.

Under this situation, plus having to drive from Dildo one hour each way to take lessons, Anthony does the most Japanese homework of all my students.

His Japanese level has rapidly improved because of his huge efforts. He creates time for studying Japanese. He is a great time management person.



Hello,

Aside from my work and studying of Japanese, I enjoy playing hockey, soccer, and ultimate Frisbee. My studying of Japanese is rooted in my enjoyment of manga and anime, as well as the interesting and fantastic history and culture of Japan.

I find learning Japanese more enjoyable that watching TV or playing video games. Also, since I am away from home, it helps to pass the time in a fun and interesting way.
