The Best Learning Ever!!!!!!

My future vision.. This is the most important thing for what I am. Before I entered the university, my idea of future plan through learning English was just very simple one. It was just the idea that I want to use English in the future. For what? I didn't know. Through the experience here, I had many conversations including very serious ones with teachers and students. Sometimes, I was not able to understand their thinking. On the other hand, I found very valuable thinking too. The convrsations were had both in English and Japanese. Sometimes, I felt like a waste of time to talk in Japanese. Sometimes, I thought it would be better to study for the TOEIC or TOEFL test rather than having these conversations with them in Japanese, because to study for those test must be related to good English skill....but, that's not a case. It was completely valuable time for me and it made my future vision very clear one. All the conversations and experience here at MFWI will be my percious days in the future.

Me and My room mate

First, I want to thank to my roommate. I learned many things through her. We are completely different; however, our attitude toward learning something is quite similar. That's the reason why we became roommates. She is the most frequent person whom I had many discussions and conversations. Sometimes, our discussion continued for five hours. Sometimes, we agreed with each other through long long conversations, but sometimes we didn't find any answer even though the discussion lasted by 3 am.( early early in the morning). The biggest reason sometimes we were not able to agree with eachother is because we both have clear way of thinking that we both want will never changed. Through her, I found my own identity so clearly.

Second, every teachers, friends and even people whom I met only once very impactted me. " By the way, what do you want to do in the future?" " So, what is your plan after this program?" These conversations were everywhere I went even on campus or when I had some mini conversations with people whom I met at first time. I was thinking about what I want to do in the future or what I can do for my future so deeply, but this thinking was caused by others. American people are really open-minded for the ideas. Although many Japanese people hesitate to ask specific questions, such as a future plan. It is completely different if we are in America. At the beginning of this life, I didn't answer specificly; however, I was really surprised because now, I can tell people about my clear future plan very clearly.

Finally,I want to thank to the learning environment here on campus. When I first arrived on this campus, I was kind of shocked about the learning environment because there are so many Japanese and where I can hear many Japanese very easily. Especially, when the classes were started, I felt little stressful about the environment that many people care about the Enlish level more than to work or to make eforts for only their own aims. However, throgh many students,I was able to have my original reason why I'm now learning English. For me, my purpose is to communicate with people and know many different tinking from them.

From these good opportunities, I found my own definition for everything that I'm now doing. I'm now learning English, because I want to know many people's value from the people who are from varous countries. I'm now learning English to live as a person not only in Japan but also in this huge world. I'm now learning everything including bad things and sad things to be a person whose capacity of heart is really really wide. I'm now here at MFWI, because to feel, touch and share many differences with you, I mean all of you..., is very important for my learning and growth.
