In Conclusion

By
In this semester, I learned a lot of things. I feel that I learned not only English and American culture but also Japanese culture and accomplishment.

First of all, I could meet great friends. End of last semester, I was so nervous because I hadn' known about almost all Extension students. However, before I know it, we became good friends. In addition they gave me a lot of special presents, for example, knowledge and different way of thinking. All Extension students has high motivations. Therefore they studied hard and they thought about one topic deeply. Then we often shared our opinion in not only classes but also my daily life. So that to think about something became my habit. Recently I am curious many things and I wounder everything. I think this is the biggest change in this semester.

Next, the presentation and the research papers became my great experiences. Actually, I hadn't known about Shintoism before I started to research about it. However, I know many things about Shintoism or Shinto Shrines now. Shintoism is basic knowledge to understand Japanese people , life and cultures. There are many things that we don't know about it even though Japanese people like me. However, I could have interest about it and I became to try to know about it. It is my growth through this semester.

In  conclusion, I learned many things especially Japanese culture and the way of thinking while using English. Actually, I don't feel that I could improve my English skill. I hope it is because I always use English and I am used to speak English. This semester is my treasure. I want to appreciate everyone who support me and who related to me. Thank you so much. I promise I study hard in Japan and I mature as a person.

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.

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...
