Absolutely marvelous in the U.S.

I had an inspiring delight time in the US from February to May. I learned only a lot of English skills but also real American life from my superb host family. Also I could learn cultural differences, for example education, daily life and religions. Everything was wonderful but above all, there were three enjoyable things that I experienced.

Ridiculous but Chivalrous Man

First Bloomsday was fascinating to me. It was my first time to walk 12 km. When I first heard about the distance of Bloomsday, I thought I couldn’t do it, because it was too long distance. First, we went downtown in Spokane, we waited for start time for about 2 hours and we talked with local people. I thought it was good event, because we could be close to local people. After that, my friends and I started to walk. We saw a lot of people who were dressed up as a lot of famous people, for example Lady Gaga, Super Man, man who wore of banana costume, Gonzaga’s mascot, animals, Star Wars characters and so on. I really enjoyed seeing them. One of my favorite people that I saw was like a clown man. When I saw him first time I thought he was a little scary but my friends and I  talked with him, I changed my own idea. He was very kind and a funny person. After taking a picture with him, we started ran again. Next we tried to hug with free hug people. It was my first time to see such people. Secondly, we saw some people who were like professional musicians. They made happiness feelings and encouraged us. Everyone was super cool. Finally, we turned to the right, and we saw the goal. We ran to the goal. I thought 2 things about Bloomsday. One was the distance of Bloomsday which was shorter than I thought. Another one was the event was splendid because we can be close to local people and we can see a lot of people that were dressed up as famous people. I really enjoyed Bloomsday.

Flying high!

Secondly, we went to my RA’s lovely house. First we enjoyed jumping on the trampoline with my friends. It really fascinated us. We jumped that for about 1 hour. After that we ate delicious lunch, and everything was hand made, so it was very tasty. We enjoyed eating. During lunch we enjoyed playing with her animals which were three cats and two dogs. After eating lunch, we went outside to cook smores. The ingredients were two crackers, chocolate and burned marshmallow. It was my second time to make it, but the taste was better than first time, so I ate three smores. Finally we said good bye to her family and pets. I had a marvelous time on Sunday. I thought my RA is super and I love her very much.

Wonderful my RA and my group members

The most important thing is my priceless group friends. We had known each other before we came here, but we were not close friends. After coming here, we sometimes talked all night, played UNO, went shopping, watched DVDs, played outside, ate foods and talked about horror stories. There were wonderful experiences. I love my group members and I’m glad because my group members are awesome. Ai is a good softball player, because when she was a high school student she joined softball team, and also she is steady, honest and sweet. Hody is skillful. She is good at dancing, singing, and drawing, and she is the kindest person in my group. I want her to become a famous person in the future. Rikako has a cute smile and her smile looks like a sunflower. She is cheerful, considerate, and enduring. Sayuri is like our group mom, because she takes care of us. She is smart, hard working and independent. Also her smells like spring. Noriko is my group leader, so she is steady and polite, like a model student. If she were a flower, she would be a lily, because she has clear white skin and is sagacious. Ayaka has healing power. She is like the Blessed Virgin Mary, and she has very cute voice and cute imagination. She likes Disney, takes care of her family and is good at dancing. Sayaka’s appearance is cool, but she is the warmest person in my group. She is the best dancer in my group. She is a hard worker, and she thinks about our group members. If I have a problem she always gives me a good advice. Mami is shy, reliable, honest and active. She takes care of her future, and she has good listening skill. I had known her since I was a freshman. Risa is a shiny girl, kind, strict to herself and also she has her own opinion, pride and freedom. If I worry about something, she always helps me. Also she is my wonderful roommate. I think she will become a career woman in the future. Kyoka is peaceful, amiable, optimistic, funny and a deep thinking person. She has a beautiful body. Our friendship is growing. Rie is honest, independent, hard working and lovely. She really likes Japanese idols. She sometimes dances, so it looks like an idol. Saki is the hardest worker in my group, and also she is considerate, cheerful, active, docile, positive, funny and a deep thinker. She makes me peaceful. I'm very happy to go to home stay with Risa and Saki. She has her own world, so I think this is one of her wonderful abilities. I really love my group members, so I don’t want to go back to Japan, I want to spend more time with them.

 I have been spending a super splendid time in my life in the US. I’m really a lucky person, because I can come here, so I thank my parents. I have amazing friends, wonderful teachers and I admire my host family. If I had not come here I couldn’t have felt such an excellent experience. I will never forget these fabulous experiences in my life in the future. Thank you to everyone. I love MFWI.
