I've always said that I hoped we could improve together, both learning
Japanese and English, and I still wish that even now. I will continue to study Japanese, so I hope
you all will continue to enjoy learning English.
You all gave me so much energy, and made me so happy. We shared jokes,
stories, and I enjoyed getting to know all of you, as well as Japan. I've enjoyed learning about the culture,
history, and people here, and will take everything I've learned with me when I
return to America.
Thank you to everyone who made my last day at Seijo with all of you special. I am very sad to leave, but I'm glad to have met all of you. The memories I made here with you all I will remember forever!
I had a lot of firsts here. It was my first time overseas, first time living by myself, and first time teaching. I remember being so nervous my first day, but students quickly came up to greet me, and made me feel so welcome as soon as I arrived, and my worries went away.
How do Texans keep cool during the summer? Here are a few ways. First, indoor entertainment. Going to places such as indoor arcades, ice skating, and shopping malls let us have fun while staying cool.
Another way we stay cool is ice cream! We have a lot of ice cream and frozen yogurt shops to choose from. They let you put several toppings such as cookies, candy, and mochi, and some even have drive-thrus so you don't have to get out of your car.
Lastly, and maybe most importantly, to stay cool during the summer, we like to go swimming! Many people either have their own pools, or will go to indoor or outdoor water parks with their friends and family. It's important to stay cool in the summer, so these are just a few ways we do so, to have a safe and fun time.
