Start New Life

By


I came back to America as extension student. I enjoyed last semester in Spokane and I will enjoy this semester also. I am excited to live there because a lot of things are different such as study group, house group, class, trip and MFWI, so I will enjoy this different life in this semester.

I am excited to study with new friends during this extension program. Before we had a plan to go abroad from January to May, so a lot of people came here. Some of them did not like studying, so I sometimes felt a difference of motivation, but this semester everyone decided to come again, so our motivation is almost same, so the studying environment is very good.
I got a very good opportunity to live with people who I did not know. I am excited to stay with new friends. Before I lived with people I already know, but this time I do not know them, so it is very interesting. I want to know them and get along with them.

            I am excited to take new classes. Before our classes were separated by our TOEIC score, but this extension program is not. There are a lot of people, so I can take classes with people who get very good TOEIC score. I am happy to take classes with them because I want more stimulation. Their attitude will stimulate me, and I will be able to study very hard, so It a good opportunity for me. 

I am excited to travel. I went to Washington and Boston during last semester. I enjoyed it and this semester, we will go to the Grand Canyon and Portland. I am very glad to go there. I have known only the name, but I did not think we can go there. It is a very good opportunity, and it will become wonderful memory for me.
Finally, I am glad to see new MFWI. For example, I was surprised to see vending machines in Commons. When I wanted to buy some snacks or juices, I must go out before, but we can buy them anytime. I thought I envy JC students when I saw they bought something, because we couldn’t do that. Second, I saw a big TV in my house. Before, my house had a small TV, so it was not dynamic, but it changed. When I have watched DVDs, I was very excited. Third, I noticed Commons food flavors were getting better than before. I liked Commons food, but I thought some of food was not good, but Commons started to serve more delicious food and variety. We sometimes write our opinion on the paper, and before I wrote I love French toast sticks and today I am really happy to see them!! I enjoy eating them and I will enjoy eating more than before.

A lot of things are exciting for me. I am glad to come back here. I will enjoy this life and I will make good memory here with my friends.

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 ...

Respectable Voice of The Japanese American

By
Respectable Voice of The Japanese American Chisato Fujii             When I saw this poem, I felt strong feeling of this poet like “I am an American,” and I also felt this poet’s voice like “Why am I not treated as an American?” I’ve never lived in this period of world war Ⅱ , and of course, I’ve never experienced this suffering and war, but I could feel people’s voice of this period thanks to this poet. Without these Japanese Americans’ voices, I couldn’t feel and understand their feeling and thought. When I understand this poem’s meaning, this poem made me sad, but I also understood Japanese Americans were proud of themselves in the middle of the war. I respect them and am proud.

Memorable Southwest Trip

I had an absolutely amazing time through on the southwest trip with fabulous teachers and friends for one week.  I went to so many special places such as the Grand Canyon. I really wanted to go there and I was able to have a various experiences at the Grand Canyon. In addition, I ate a ton of southwest food and spicy food during this trip. This trip was most memorable for me for three reason for that. Amazing Grand Canyon First, I had many most amazing memories at the Grand Canyon. I really wanted to go to  the Grand Canyon, so my dreams came true. We went to the Mather point at first. That was my first time to see the Grand Canyon. I was really surprised and impressed. It was like a picture, so I was really confused when I was saw that. Then I went to the next point to see the sunset. The sunset was absolutely gorgeous. I was really impressed. The next day, I woke up early. I went to Yaki point to see the sunrise with teachers. That day was really cold and windy, so whe...
