What I Feel Different so Much

I really have noticed a lot ofdifferences between last semester and now. I found clear differences. There are that Mukogawa Fort Wright Institution is in charge of the lawn and the lawn is well kept. How beautiful the campus is! I take pride in the campus. I’m glad to stay and to study in a great environment. Last semester, students who belong to an English Department stayed here, but this semester there are Junior College and Education students whom I don’t know. We can make friends again and we are returning in MFWI, so we have to tell them; how to use a facility, how to go to a shopping mall and so on. All teachers and advisors said to us, Extensioneers should be role models for other students about haw stay here.” It sounds like we have more responsibilities than last semester. One of the differences is RA. My previous RA, Sarah, got married to her fiancé and quit this job. Some RAs live here again. Others left here. It was sort of sad, but new RAs came here. The atmosphere changed a little bit. It is too much to say that expectation is the most different, I think. It’s because we stay here twice. Someone might wonder why extensioneers wanted to study abroad in Spokane again. Each of us have the own reasons for it, but we have a common goal which is we want to improve our English skills. In my case, this semester is so special. Everything is for me. I mean I made money for it by myself unlike last semester when I depend on my parents. Although I had no money, I wanted to stay here again by getting a bank loan which was kind of a debt. It’s my will. In other words, I changed my way of thinking. Teachers also have changed attitude. It means they are more stricter and make us busier. I feel their expectation for us is larger. Anyway, nothing is the same as before. I have to come up with my goal.

Fabulous Southwest Trip

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

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...
