Great Experience of the SIDS Run

I went to Coeur d' Alene to take part in a SIDS run yesterday. At this time, all Extension students participated in this run as volunteers. Last week, we also took part in the Spokane Riverside clean-up as volunteers. I have experienced volunteering twice since I came back to Spokane. I learned there were various types of volunteering.

Beautiful Balloons for Children

When I saw pictures of dead children before I ran, I felt that I should run while thinking about them. While running, I wanted to walk many times, but I didn't want to lose myself and realized I ought to run with my maximum power for them. My time wasn't good. However I'm proud that I didn't stop running and thinking about these children. When I went toward the Mukogawa bus, I saw a lot of balloons launched in the sky and garden lanterns in a river. Then I prayed these souls may rest in peace. I only can think about them and run for them, but I'm happy if it helps some people. In my opinion, I mustn't forget them.

In addition, I felt people's kindness. For example, volunteers cheered for whichever people reached the goal. Also, when I finished running, a woman offered her hand to me. I experienced how American people are gentle to other people, so there were a lot of volunteers. Because of these experiences, I want to volunteer after I go back to Japan. Next time, I would like to help other people.

Unforgettable Southwest Trip

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 chip

My most Amazing Three Memories of the Southwest Trip

Last week, I went to the Southwest with all of the Extension students. Before the trip, we learned about history and culture of the Southwest in American west class. So I was looking forward to going on the Southwest trip. But I couldn’t imagine that I could get a lot of memories and experiences on this trip. During this time, we went to New Mexico and Arizona. In New Mexico, I went to Santa Fe and New Mexico University. After that, I went to the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Each place has different culture and geography. So I was really surprised and impressed by them. Finally, I got three most amazing memories of the Southwest Trip. First, one of my most amazing memories of South West Trip was downtown in Santa Fe. First of all, I was really impressed by Adobe buildings. I had never seen Adobe buildings before and I thought their design was totally different design from Spokane. The color of the adobe was brown and some of the walls were turquoise blue. So there were a lot of com

Really Faburous Southwest Trip

I had an absolutely amazing experience on the Southwest trip in mid-October. I enjoyed a good deal of beautiful scenery of nature and city areas, delicious food and performances, and culture. I spent a lot of wonderful time with my friends and teachers in Santa Fe, Black Bart’s Restaurant and the Grand Canyon. I enjoyed a good deal of beautiful scenery of nature and city, delicious food and performance, and culture. First, my one of impressive places was Santa Fe Plaza. There were brown houses and buildings made of adobe, and the doors and window frames and decorations were colorful. I like passionate red and turquoise blue color because these colors match the adobe brown color. Also, there were many gift shops in the Plaza, and we could find a lot of native Americans gifts such as dream catchers, pottery, fabrics, unique fashion accessories, dishes, and traditional clothes. I bought a dreamcatcher, some pretty earrings, a ring, and postcards, so I was very happy. It rained at nig
