In this semester, I learned a lot of things. I feel that I learned not only English and American culture but also Japanese culture and accomplishment.
First of all, I could meet great friends. End of last semester, I was so nervous because I hadn' known about almost all Extension students. However, before I know it, we became good friends. In addition they gave me a lot of special presents, for example, knowledge and different way of thinking. All Extension students has high motivations. Therefore they studied hard and they thought about one topic deeply. Then we often shared our opinion in not only classes but also my daily life. So that to think about something became my habit. Recently I am curious many things and I wounder everything. I think this is the biggest change in this semester.
Next, the presentation and the research papers became my great experiences. Actually, I hadn't known about Shintoism before I started to research about it. However, I know many things about Shintoism or Shinto Shrines now. Shintoism is basic knowledge to understand Japanese people , life and cultures. There are many things that we don't know about it even though Japanese people like me. However, I could have interest about it and I became to try to know about it. It is my growth through this semester.
In conclusion, I learned many things especially Japanese culture and the way of thinking while using English. Actually, I don't feel that I could improve my English skill. I hope it is because I always use English and I am used to speak English. This semester is my treasure. I want to appreciate everyone who support me and who related to me. Thank you so much. I promise I study hard in Japan and I mature as a person.
