About 2 months have passed since I came back here, and I have had a lot of marvelous experiences. This semester, we've had some different classes from last semester, and many opportunities to communicate with Americans. Also, I have learned a lot of things through the classes, a homestay, and talking with people in the US.
First, I have learned differences between Japan and other countries. We Extension Students had LCD (Language Culture Days) class which is that guests come to our class and discuss or tell us about the topic. I enjoyed the class every week, because I could learn many cultural differences or things that I didn't know by wonderful guests, and it changed my thoughts. Also, we have some opportunities to go to other universities in the US. We already went to some universities, and took classes. The classes were also a little different from Japan such as a teacher’s way of teaching or student’s participation. It was really interesting for me. Additionally, I made many friends from around the world here, and we got to know each other. We exchanged our own cultures, and that was also really impressed me. Learning cultures or differences is fresh, and broaden my horizons.
Second, I did a homestay and had many new, good, and precious experience with my great host family. They always welcome me, and taught lot of things. They invite me to the church sometimes. I had never been there before, so I could knew about Christianity or there customs, and I think it is wonderful. Also, they really treasure their family, and they always gather when they have a special events like birthday party, Halloween, or Thanksgiving Day. They talked a lot and express their love to their family. I’m so glad and lucky that I can be a one of their amazing family. I really appreciate them.
To sum up, I’m blessed that I have wonderful environment, experience, my friends, my teachers, my host family, and my family. I am filled with gratitude to them, so I want to do my best and enjoy everything for the rest of my days in America.
