Thanks everyone!

I'll go back to Japan in about a week! I don' t know yet whether I'm sad or not... Actually I'd like to go back to Japan soon, because I miss Japanese food, Japanese bath, my family, and my friends. Since I had felt anxious about my first life in a foreign country, I didn't very want to come here when I was in Japan. However, my MFWI life has been marvelous than I had expected. Fortunately, my group, classmates, teachers are super great, so I've enjoyed to communicate with them very much. I really appreciate everyone! Class19 girls have a variety of characters, and I was afraid of them at first, but the more I knew them, the more I got to like them. They've been serious toward English, so they challenged me not to give up. Group6 girls and my RA, Jewel have relaxed me every time. I was happy to go on the Seattle trip and the East Cast trip with my group.

In my opinion, this program grows not only our English skills, but also our human nature. Different life from Japan hasn't been easy, because sometimes we need to compromise and endure. Although I sometimes hated this life, I realized importance of this life at the same time.

My goals in America are not to get the excellent scores, but to have a lot of experiences and to be able to communicate with native English speaker fluently. In America, I've been enjoyed to find distinction of culture, and to visit many places. These are really good experiences for me, and I strongly felt I couldn't have these wonderful experiences if I was in Japan. My skill to speak English fluently is not enough at all yet. Although I realized it is surely hard, I think my skills can improve if I study hard in America. This idea prompted me to come back here as an Extension student. It will be harder than regular program, but I'll try to do my best turning my experiences in this program to advantage.

Anyway, I was happy to study and communicate with everyone! Thank you so much :)
