A Blog from Maika

Blog 7 in the Make A Difference blog series from the students of Shepherds College


Maika is a first-year student interested in the Culinary Arts Program.

My disability is to remember stuff in my head. I like saying a memory verse from the Bible. I like saying the memory verse from the Bible to my teachers. I had this disability when I was a kid. I was adopted from Japan. I was a small baby. I am still small, but I am an adult now. I had some hard times when I was a little kid.

I have two brothers in my family. I have two parents. We have a dog named Dexter. My brother’s names are Zac and Cameron, and my parent’s names are Josie and Ted. We live in Chicago. We live in a suburb of Chicago. The name of the suburb is Worth. It is called The Friendly Village.

My parents were looking at Shepherds College. I was looking at another college, but it was a music college, but I didn’t like the music college, then I decided to come here. In high school, I had some problems at school. That is why I came to this college.

I have learned how to do chores and do laundry here. And we go shopping on Mondays. We have fun buying our personal items. And after shopping is done, we go for a treat.

My favorite class is Roots of Faith because the teacher is fun. Sometimes we act the story out with costumes and it is fun. The first time that we did this, my friends laughed a lot. In class, we do picture summaries for us to remember what happened.
