Hyeju (Julia) Han
Hello. I am Julia Han from Korea. For my personal project, I decided to investigate the clothing to express ourselves with the following question ‘How
can we ensure that clothing is an effective representation of the self?’ I
aimed to prove a cloth is an effective way of self-expression. Specifically,
there were several reasons that I chose the topic as self-expression
through a cloth. Firstly, I am really interested in fashion, especially clothes.
Secondly, considering MYP and IB as the process to prepare for my career
and social life in the future, I considered it is important to understand myself
before starting the new life. With the topic that I had chosen, I was able to
achieve this. Completing MYP Year 10 and personal project, I thought this
project was the chance to explore my interests and to clearly know myself
based on my topic.

looks like in fact. Because T- shirt is one thing that everyone can accept to
spread HK fast and better, T-shirt is a nice choose.
My product is the T-shirt about HK, it may looks not a attractive one but at
least it is a good one, it shows the advantage and the disadvantage of HK
so that they can understand the real HK. Also, I leave a place for the visitor
and the people who want to wear it, I want them write what their “HK” looks
like so that we can share our idea together.
Fumika Isobe
I am Fumika Isobe from 10S. The reason I chose the topic “How Mt. Fuji
has become the World Heritage?” is that when I heard the news that Mt.
Fuji became the World Heritage site I was really proud of Japan and I wanted to understand the process of Mt. Fuji becoming the World Heritage site
