Hi, I’m Mifu. In today’s episode of Just Another Human, I’m talking about my journey into skiing this season. 🎿❄️

I had a few reasons to start skiing—one was seeing skiers carve through the snow, which looked so cool! Plus, a character from my favorite anime, Golden Kamuy, skis, and my mom switched from snowboarding to skiing and absolutely loves it. She even said, "Snowboarding is just an activity, but skiing is transportation."

This season, my mom invited me to join her lessons, and I started skiing from scratch—my sister and I were total beginners! My first attempt was during my time as a kids' camp instructor. I couldn’t even attach my boots to the skis, but after 30 minutes, I managed to stop and move forward. That little win gave me hope!

After some lessons, I finally passed the level 3 ski exam! But trust me, it wasn’t smooth sailing. I was late to the exam (due to taking the wrong bus!), couldn’t walk properly with skis on (I waddled like a penguin!), and—embarrassingly—my ski came off during the test! 😳

Despite all that, I managed to score the highest among my classmates, and the charismatic instructor even said that Happo Ski Resort, where I took the test, is one of the hardest places to pass. Talk about a confidence boost! 💪

I might’ve looked ridiculous at times, but hey—everyone’s just another human, right? No need to stress over mistakes. This is all part of the fun journey of learning something new. So, whether you're a skier, snowboarder, or just someone trying something new, remember: it's okay to make mistakes and keep going!
