In conclusion

By
I can’t believe that I will leave Mukogawa Fort Wright in this weekend.  Next Monday, I will be on the airplane. Oh my goodness!! I have lived in America for only total 8 months. It is really short time in my life but this 8months is the most significant time for me. I learned many things such as American culture, value and character. Thorough these 8 months, I think about student life and I realized there are many wonderful people around me.

I had many opportunities to visit many universities and college.  I could learn about American student life. I really think how hard work American students do. Many students are positive for their class and they do tans of homework every day. Of course, I do hard work at MFWI but how about me in Japan? When I studied in MWU as freshman, I was not interested in my classes and I didn’t have much homework, so I didn’t study hard.  I was always thinking about part time job, outing or fashions. Now, I am ashamed and I regret that I was not serious about my study. I think I have to focus on my study more in Japan.  It is also important to go outing with friends or work but I’m student, so I have to think why I go to the university.  Through American students, I reconsider my student life.

Secondly, the presentation was the biggest even for me and also for all Extension students.  The process of making presentation was unforgettable memory for me.  Everyone supported each other, so I couldn’t finish my presentation without supports.  I know how hard work everyone did, so I cried on three of the presentation days. Moreover, I cried during my presentation. After my presentation, many people worried about me and asked why I cried. The one reason was I already felt relief when I spoke my conclusion even if my presentation didn’t finish yet. Another reason was I felt felling of appreciate for my friends, teachers, RA and host family. I could improve my English or my personality with them. I was supported by many people in these 8months. Through the presentation, of course I could learn presentation skill but also I could realize I am improving with supports by many people.    

In my conclusion, for 8months, I have laughed and cried many times.  These experiences gave me many chances to consider my student life and notice importance of support. These two things are two of my lots of experiences. It is difficult to explain exactly what I learned, how I changed my mind and how the experience in America effect to my life. However, I feel something change in myself, so I hope I improved English skill and also personality.  I am glad I could study at absolutely awesome school and I could study with absolutely wonderful friends and I could meet absolutely marvelous host family and RA.  Of course, I am glad my teachers are excellent!!  I would like to say tans of thank you for everyone. Thank you so much.

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.

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...
