I like to hear the career of adult people
because I can draw ideal future that I have not yet had this experience, such
as job and marriage. Also, sometimes their advices I seek benefit me because of
course their life is longer than me. To my pleasure, I could have an
opportunity to hear this from host family who accepted my roommate as host daughter
last semester. This couple has been married for three years, therefore they are
rather like newly married couple. They take us to the incredible restaurant
serving delicious breakfast, famous ice cream shop where we can choose our
favorite topping from variation such as chocolate, raspberry and custard and
shopping mall we really love. All activities made us incredibly happy! However,
at the same time, we can have a conversation a lot and this spurred interest in
my near and long-term future.
First, I was really surprised their great
bravery because they are going to stay Spain from next week on business. This
day is the very approaching!! In addition, more surprisingly, they will stay
there at least 5 years or at most 10 years. Their wonderful challenge made me
wondering if they feel afraid to go to new world or miss their mother country,
USA. When I asked them, they answered quickly ”No, not at all!! ” Their answer
made me surprised again. There are two reasons they were really looking forward
to staying Spain. First, they already know about their country in detail, so
they feel it enough to stay there. Second, they really want to stay another
country they never experienced because to stay new country would make their
life delightful than to stay they used to. Of course they must miss their
family such as parents and sibling, however I was sure their exciting exceed
their anxious. Of course, I always say the wish to stay another country in the
same way. However, If I stood this situation that I could get opportunity to go
foreign country for a long time, which option would I say?? I feel like I would
worry about this forever because of anxiety for my future and missing my family
and friends. When I hear their determination, I really respected them.
Second is about their marriage story, which
is not adventure but romantic tale. The reason I asked their marriage is that I
felt they were rather young than I expected before I met them. Of course,
because this kinds of genre is my favorite, too! I feel really jealous them
because they look like very happy to talk each other. In addition, my host
mother taught us the importance to discuss many times before marriage. When she
discussed their future life with him, they feel like a stressful because this
topic was not easy. However, after marriage, they always enjoy their life and
laugh everyday! I was really surprised because I thought the typical couple is
opposite to this pattern. Also, they look like to respect each other because I
commend each other every topic. I think this is the very ideal couple! This
talking made me look forward to having my happy future!!
Third, I asked host father about
presentation because I was wondering his job take presentation so often. As
just I thought, he has experienced to take presentation a lot. Also,
surprisingly, my host mother had a lot because there are a lot of opportunities
to do in church. I got some advices of presentation techniques from them.
First, it is better to speak to like only one person one after another. It
means it is better not to leer at audience. This will ease our nervous and be
able to calm. Second, the more afraid to make mistakes, the more nervous I
would feel. That’s why, I should give up to be intense and if I forgot the
phrase I try to introduce, it is important to switch the next introduction
without caring mistakes. If I didn’t pretend to make mistakes, audience would
not realize my faults. While we were talking about it, my feeling of nervous to
presentation were being got rid of. I am sure that their advices will be helpful
to my close future, presentation.
These inspirations made me really excited and I could draw some my
ideal future such as to be braver and to have incredibly wonderful husband! As I
described just now, they will leave for Spain next week. Therefore, to my
sorrow, it is impossible to meet them for a long time from now on. Even if this
encounter is just only one time, I want to treasure every meeting. “Treasure
every encounter, for it will never recur.”
