Time is Money

By
This weekend, I stayed at my roommate’s host family’s house. I met them in the first time. I was super nervous before I met them but they were very kind and they warmly welcomed me to their house. There were 4 people in their family. I spent time with them and I could realize that spending time with family is the most valuable in the world.

On Saturday, it was awesome weather and we went to Coeur d' Alene to ride the boat. When I went outside, I was surprised. It’s because I found a boat in front of the house. I couldn’t believe this situation because I haven’t ever seen boat in front of the house. To ride the boat was a first time for me. Coeur d' Alene was busy by families. I could see a lot of families. They played water sports and hiked with their families. It seemed they enjoyed spending time with their family. I also enjoyed riding a boat. One more thing, Saturday night, my roommate’s host father and daughter sat on the chair and talked in their garden. They communicated with each other and spent a lot of time together. After that, my roommate and I joined the conversation.

I think to spend a time with family is very important. I looked for my memories which I did with my family on weekend. When I was young, I went to a lot of places such as beach, mountain and amusement park on weekends. However, I recently don’t go any place with my family on weekends. When I was a junior high school student, I didn’t like my family. I didn’t have any special reason and I didn’t go any place with my family. However, I realized how family is important and now I love my family. I am proud of them but on weekends, I spend almost all my time with my friends or I work a whole weekend. I regretted that I didn’t spend enough time with my family. I think I should make time to spend with my family when I come back to Japan.

Through this home stay, I reconfirmed family bonds were a great thing. Family style is different from each family. Of course, there are many differences between Japanese families and American families. There is no collection family style, I think. Family is interesting, amazing and wonderful. I’m looking forward to making my new family. I decided to make time with my family and future’s my family too. Family is valuable and there is nothing more important than family in the world. I think we can’t replace family anything else.

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...
