I’ll Keep at It!!

By
What should I do to achieve to my goal? This was just my question. I had thought about this question sometime especially while I live at MFWI. However, I didn’t have any good idea to solve this question. Last Tuesday, this question was solved clearly. We invited some guests in our class and we ask question or discuss with guests every Tuesday. Last topic was setting goals. I could learn a lot of things from wonderful guests and I was impressed by their ideas.

One of the guests was Susan. She told us how to set our goal and how to achieve our goal. Her idea was that don’t set a big goal at first. We should set small goals at first and we achieve this goal then we should set a little bigger goal than the first goal. We repeat this way, so we finally can reach the big goal. I was very impressed this idea because I never have had this idea before. I always set a big goal before and it was difficult to reach my goal. However, this way is easy to reach a goal and it is more real for me.

I could learn about a lot of strategies how to reach and set goals from guests. All of guests had wonderful ideas. I think to set goals is important for our life because it is a shorter way for success. The way to reach my goal may be not easy and every goal is difficult to reach. We sometime have to face this difficult way and I will be tired to reach the goal. However, there are great friends, family and teachers around me, so I ‘m not alone. They will help me. I can keep trying without giving up.

After this class, I considered my goal. I haven’t decided what I want to be in the future, so I considered my goal this semester. My big goal this semester is improving my English skill. It is too general to reach, so I set small goals for my big goal. Moreover, I considered how to reach my goal. I decided to make for my goal more specific. This was a good opportunity to
consider my goal deeply.

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...
