To Realize My Dream

By
source: photo-dictionary.com
Last Tuesday, we held a language and culture day which was about “Goal Setting”. I was very interested in the discussion since I read a handout. The handout said, “What personalities are necessary to be a successful person?” I had never thought about that and I could realize what I must do now. One of the personalities was “to be curious”. Recently, I did my homework or took class without any strong will. I had just done what I was given at the LCD. There were many interesting guests who have experienced many difficulties and have wonderful dreams. I could hear very impressive feelings or experiences from them. Through the discussion, I could find the same point among the guests. The same point was “honesty”. I asked the same question which is “What is your dream?” and all of them could answer the question exactly while smiling. I often ask this question, but there are actually few people who can answer. It looks easy to have a dream and say that. However, as we grow up we are apt to quit dreaming like children because we are surrounded by many difficult situations making dream. In spite of that, successful people always enjoy their life and don’t mind making mistakes. It’s because they know how important it is to make mistakes in order to realize their dream. Even if those experiences failed many times and full of disappointed, it means we can learn very valuable things from those experiences. Even if we were sad and they regret, we can learn from the difficulties. The experience would tell us how to make it better and we can, therefore, a person who was in the same trouble as us. In the discussion, I was very impressed with what Ron said. He said, “Failures can build your personality”. I have experienced difficulties many times and I was really disappointed in myself when I couldn’t make it. Sometimes, even though I did my best, I failed. However, in the end I realized because of my failures I could be strong. I could have held on to my dream because I could learn how wonderful my life is a result of the hard time. I could realize what I must do. That is “Don’t be afraid”. Even if I was wrong, the mistake would teach me about the new thing and it means I am reaching my dream. The discussion taught me a new perspective to make my life more wonderful.

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...
