My unforgettable day

By
The first day of the presentation members!
I will never forget this program forever. I gave a presentation in front of many American on December 5th. In Extension Program, we have the presentation which explains the Japanese culture in the end of this program. I thought it would be later but the time moved quickly. My group was the first day on Monday so we realized that we had no time.

Before my presentation, I was so anxiety to give the presentation in front of people. I practiced many times about my part of presentation. At first, I didn’t feel comfortable because I was sick at the first practice day so I practiced with Masa-san after I felt good but I took 32minits to finish my part. I was so nervous at that time but I started to concentrate on my part more seriously. I realized that I was becoming the better step by step. However, I didn’t trust myself because I am a kind of perfectionist so I gave much stress by myself. As the day came, I felt good and exciting. I didn’t know why I felt this kind of feeling because many people don’t think such feelings before the presentation I think. Before I gave the presentation, I set my goal on my presentation. I tend to speak fast and do the gesture large so I was careful to act during it so I tried to release my stress by talking someone before starting my presentation.

During my presentation, I felt so exciting and stunning to explain about my part. I sometimes stopped to talk because I was a little bit nervous but when I talked about Basho Matsuo part in my presentation, I felt joyful and delightful which I had never felt. I attained my successful I thought while I felt those kinds of feeling on my presentation. Also, I saw many people which I already know so I think this is the one reasons that I didn’t get nervous so much. I saw that many people concentrated on my presentation. Sometimes people showed their surprising and laughing. It was so glad to see it because I could feel more comfortable to see the audience’s thinking. I learned that to give the presentation is not so scary and terrify but also we can get many significant things from the audience.

As you can see, we completely succeed our fabulous presentation. We prepared our topics after going back to Japan on June and we actually took 6 months to prepare everything. I learned many things during this presentation and preparing it. Also, I got many precious from this extension program. Now, I feel that I can do anything! This presentation gave many confidences to me. I think this experience will help my future so I was glad to do my presentation and I want to say thank you for everyone who helps me.

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...
