In conclusion

By
I can’t believe that I will leave Mukogawa Fort Wright in this weekend.  Next Monday, I will be on the airplane. Oh my goodness!! I have lived in America for only total 8 months. It is really short time in my life but this 8months is the most significant time for me. I learned many things such as American culture, value and character. Thorough these 8 months, I think about student life and I realized there are many wonderful people around me.

I had many opportunities to visit many universities and college.  I could learn about American student life. I really think how hard work American students do. Many students are positive for their class and they do tans of homework every day. Of course, I do hard work at MFWI but how about me in Japan? When I studied in MWU as freshman, I was not interested in my classes and I didn’t have much homework, so I didn’t study hard.  I was always thinking about part time job, outing or fashions. Now, I am ashamed and I regret that I was not serious about my study. I think I have to focus on my study more in Japan.  It is also important to go outing with friends or work but I’m student, so I have to think why I go to the university.  Through American students, I reconsider my student life.

Secondly, the presentation was the biggest even for me and also for all Extension students.  The process of making presentation was unforgettable memory for me.  Everyone supported each other, so I couldn’t finish my presentation without supports.  I know how hard work everyone did, so I cried on three of the presentation days. Moreover, I cried during my presentation. After my presentation, many people worried about me and asked why I cried. The one reason was I already felt relief when I spoke my conclusion even if my presentation didn’t finish yet. Another reason was I felt felling of appreciate for my friends, teachers, RA and host family. I could improve my English or my personality with them. I was supported by many people in these 8months. Through the presentation, of course I could learn presentation skill but also I could realize I am improving with supports by many people.    

In my conclusion, for 8months, I have laughed and cried many times.  These experiences gave me many chances to consider my student life and notice importance of support. These two things are two of my lots of experiences. It is difficult to explain exactly what I learned, how I changed my mind and how the experience in America effect to my life. However, I feel something change in myself, so I hope I improved English skill and also personality.  I am glad I could study at absolutely awesome school and I could study with absolutely wonderful friends and I could meet absolutely marvelous host family and RA.  Of course, I am glad my teachers are excellent!!  I would like to say tans of thank you for everyone. Thank you so much.

Unforgettable Southwest Trip

By
I went on a totally amazing Southwest trip with my classmates. The trip was my first time to go to the Southwest so everything was new to me. Sarah, Anikke and Bethany came with us. They made our trip more exciting. I’m happy I could go on this trip with them and I had a lot of great experiences. First, I really enjoyed New Mexico. It was chilly but not too cold. I went to the Old Town in  Albuquerque, New Mexico. I liked the Old Town because there are many cute things and good restaurants in there. For example, I found a gate that was decorated with a lot of red chili peppers. I had never seen anything like that before so I was very surprised and it looked like a lot of flowers from a distance. The red chili peppers were absolutely gorgeous. Not only that, I found a great restaurant. I forgot the name of the restaurant but they have really delicious Mexican food. They gave me some Mexican chips for free and recommended that I eat the chips with honey. I really like Mexican ...

Fabulous Southwest Trip

By
    The Southwest trip was absolutely amazing because I leaned the culture of the area a lot. I spent 7 days in the southwest and I impressed by people who live there and by their culture. These things were totally different from Japan and the people there preserved their traditions carefully. I talk to a lot of Americans and I saw wonderful nature during the trip. There are three absolutely wonderfu and amazing places that I enjoyed.     First, I went to a lot of museums and all of them were very interesting. I especially liked The Museum of International Folk Art. The museum has more than 130,000 objects from more than 100 countries! My favorite object was a smiling skeleton doll. This object’s theme was Day of The Dead. When I saw it, I remembered COCO which is a Pixar movie. I also liked The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum. Georgia O’Keeffe was an American artist and she painted a lot of flowers and nature. I think her paintings are brimming with kindness ...

Completely amazing trip

By
I had a good time visiting the Southwest USA with Extension students from 15 to 21, October. It was an education trip and I experienced new things and there was a lot of nature which is comfortable for me. I was looking forward to going on the Southwest trip for a long time. I have image that the Southwest is very hot but this place was cold than Spokane. It was interesting that the temperature was totally different in the same place. There were three emotions that I experienced on this trip. First, I was moved by the beautiful landscape of the Grand Canyon. It is absolutely enormous. When I look down the cliff, I remembered the teacher's caution for us that there are lots of people who die and I scared. I and my roommate wanted to see the sunrise so we tried to got up at 4:00 a.m. and then we could see the sunrise which was really fabulous. After that, we decided to rent a  bicycle but we changed our mind and because we had lots of time. Surprisingly, we walked 10 miles aro...
