Brilliant Heart

By
Fabulous Group 14
A week has passed since I arrived at MFWI and I'm always busy. I am sure that it's because of homework. Anyway, I had a great time at the Welcome Banquet yesterday.

First of all, I enjoyed talking with teachers and RAs. It was a nice opportunity for me. They have been to many various countries and most of them can speak other than English such as Spanish, German, and French. I was very surprised by the fact, for I had thought Japanese people must acquire 2nd or 3rd languages because Japanese isn't a very common language in this world. I learned that even people who speak English study other languages to learn about different cultures and communicate with foreigners. I realized that MFWI's teachers and RAs are very eager to have personal goal and they are full of confidence. And then, teachers here often say" I'm here to help you. Please use me". Learning about this from teachers and RAs encourages me.
Next, we were excited singing "We are the world" as EXT students. Actually I conducted the song and arranged it. We had prepared to sing the song hard during this summer vacation for the Welcome Banquet. On a first day we met to practice, all of EXT members were looked so nervous and their singing voices were very low, so I'm worried about their will. However, yesterday, I saw tremendous smiles and heard powerful good sound from them. I felt very happy that I was able to be a conductor.

Finally, all of the MFWI's students and stuffs are so brilliant and make me comfortable now. I'm really looking forward to my life with them.

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...
