A lot

By
Thank you, Natsumi.
We finally did our presentation on December 5, 6 and 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The presentation made us nervous very much from the beginning of this semester. We always worried about my presentation. I felt that the presentation always followed me like a shadow. Sometimes, I felt stress about it, because I couldn't relax anyway. However, time goes so quickly. I finished my  compilation of this semester. All of the exertion make us strong and comfortable. I learned not only a lot of preciousness from this wonderful experience, but also a lot of people have supported me very much.

First of all, I have noticed I am not alone. Before the presentation, we had a tons of homework to be succeed in our presentation. We always suffered it, because it was difficult to translate to English. I had already idea about my topics, but I couldn't express that. When I felt difficulties, I always wanted to buy it. However, my friends and RA, Becki always encouraged me very well. They always gave me advice. We cooperated each other every time. When I didn't have any idea about my topics, I always went to JCC to talk to Masa. He suggested a lot of good ideas for me. Without Masa, I couldn't do my presentation like on December 6. When I didn't have confidence, Mark helped me a lot. He said me that after my presentation, my confidence will increase. These words made me keep making my effort. I could believe his advise easily. When I was confused, a lot of teachers helped me very much. They tried to understand my opinion about my presentation and make a new plans. My presentation was created by not only me, but also people that there are around me.

Second, I experienced my absolutely surprising attitude during my presentation. I am not sure still about it, but it is true. The characteristic is I am not so sensitive about standing in front of people. A part of reasons why I practiced many times during public speaking. Of course, I worried about my presentation very much before my presentation, but I felt comfortable during my presentation. I don't know why. I thought I am finally crazy during my presentation. After presentation, I could feel that it is the best presentation in my presentation practices. I thought I am a negative person until this presentation, because I always think about the worst situation. I don't like to be disappointed when I betray my expectation. However, this experience changed my mind about own characteristic. It was an amazing time for me. I also learned that I like to make people attract my something. It was my presentation in this case. When responses from audiences returned me, I was really joyful. It realized me a lot of characteristics too.

Finally, this presentation carried many kinds of confidence to me. We did our best! is a part of the reasons. Moreover, I am really proud of myself. Before I came to MFWI, I didn't have high motivation about any situation excepts about my dream for future. I rarely cry in front of others, because Ｉ had resistance to show my week point to others even my friends and family.  Crying is a kind of action that needs confidence for me. However, I am able to cry in front of my precious mates. Throughout this significant program, I changed a lot. I also felt a lot.

This experience brought a revolutionary change to me. It cannot count each one because of enormity and forget the meaningful life at MFWI. It is difficult to see directly because of invisibility. However, it will keep promoting to me all the time. I LOVE MFWI.

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...
