My unforgettable day

By
The first day of the presentation members!
I will never forget this program forever. I gave a presentation in front of many American on December 5th. In Extension Program, we have the presentation which explains the Japanese culture in the end of this program. I thought it would be later but the time moved quickly. My group was the first day on Monday so we realized that we had no time.

Before my presentation, I was so anxiety to give the presentation in front of people. I practiced many times about my part of presentation. At first, I didn’t feel comfortable because I was sick at the first practice day so I practiced with Masa-san after I felt good but I took 32minits to finish my part. I was so nervous at that time but I started to concentrate on my part more seriously. I realized that I was becoming the better step by step. However, I didn’t trust myself because I am a kind of perfectionist so I gave much stress by myself. As the day came, I felt good and exciting. I didn’t know why I felt this kind of feeling because many people don’t think such feelings before the presentation I think. Before I gave the presentation, I set my goal on my presentation. I tend to speak fast and do the gesture large so I was careful to act during it so I tried to release my stress by talking someone before starting my presentation.

During my presentation, I felt so exciting and stunning to explain about my part. I sometimes stopped to talk because I was a little bit nervous but when I talked about Basho Matsuo part in my presentation, I felt joyful and delightful which I had never felt. I attained my successful I thought while I felt those kinds of feeling on my presentation. Also, I saw many people which I already know so I think this is the one reasons that I didn’t get nervous so much. I saw that many people concentrated on my presentation. Sometimes people showed their surprising and laughing. It was so glad to see it because I could feel more comfortable to see the audience’s thinking. I learned that to give the presentation is not so scary and terrify but also we can get many significant things from the audience.

As you can see, we completely succeed our fabulous presentation. We prepared our topics after going back to Japan on June and we actually took 6 months to prepare everything. I learned many things during this presentation and preparing it. Also, I got many precious from this extension program. Now, I feel that I can do anything! This presentation gave many confidences to me. I think this experience will help my future so I was glad to do my presentation and I want to say thank you for everyone who helps me.

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...
