Fascinating Memory

By
On November 17 to 20, I took a trip to Portland. This trip was added my special memories. Through this trip, I felt different feeling never before. I want to tell about my best three memories.

Fabulous Members
One of the good memories is that I went to the Powell’s City Bookstore. I’m looking forward to visiting there because I fell happy when I was surrounded by a lot of books. This store is the largest independent new and used book store in the world, also is open 365 days a year. As I entered this store, my heart began to beat fast. Moreover, I was moved a number of books. There were numerous books, so it was hard to find books I want. I think that good thing of book is to learn opinions deeply. Nowadays, many people rely on Internet. I think it is kind of good because people can get a lot of information easily and quickly. However, in my opinion, the book is better than Internet to have our personal ability. Books were including writer’s deep opinion, also their heart. Then, this bookstore has a lot of books, also tons of idea and writer’s heart. Therefore, I like this place, and I recommend all of people to visit this bookstore.

Second, the 3rd day of this trip, I visited the Japanese-American Memorial. Also, I look forward to visiting there because of one of the classes. Before I visit there, I learned about Japanese-American during WWⅡ. These people were suffered from a lot of discrimination. I think that we couldn't understand easily the feeling of these people. However, when I visited there, there were short poems which were engraved by Japanese-American. These poems told us the plaintive fact at the time. I felt really sorrowful and I couldn't say anything. This visit was good opportunity to learn Japanese history.

Reed College
Finally, the last of good memories is that I visited Reed College. This college was founded in 1905, and a number of students are about 1500 students. This college has many different styles compere to other colleges. For example, students can take a test everywhere, students choose their major when they finished sophomore, and students can choose their thesis they want even this thesis is not related their major. Moreover, most classes are small class, so all students need give their opinion each class. One of the teachers told us many times that the most important thing is to be action. I agree with his opinion because I learned the same thing in my school, MFWI, also I always think that. To be action is really important in our life. Through, this visiting, I could realized again that the most important things for our future.

In conclusion, I felt lots kind of feeling through this wonderful trip. This trip made us not only enjoying but also thinking deeply in our history and future. I had a special time with fabulous teachers and fantastic all of Extension members.
