Thank you teachers:D

As I wrote in my profile, I have been transferring schools many times and have met so many teachers with different characteristics. Each one of them had helped me through difficult times and they have influenced me in many ways.

When I first came to Japan in elementary school, I wasn't used to the Japanese culture yet and had trouble fitting in. My teacher at that time said to me, "It's ok. You will soon get used to the new environment. Don't worry." I thought to myself then, "Its easy for her to say that because she doesn't understand how much effort it takes to try to fit into a new environment" but after two weeks or so, I found out that she was right. She had also helped me whenever I had trouble understanding something and had supported me throughout the whole year. For the four years I attended that elementary school, I had different teachers every year but each one of them had supported me and I felt like they really understood me. I was able to enjoy my school life there.

After moving back to the states, my english level was low compared to other students in my school. I was imediately put into an ESL class. ESL stands for "English as a Second Language". At first, I didn't like the idea how I had to leave the classroom and couldn't learn with the rest of my classmates. Soon, however, I found myself enjoying ESL class, thanks to Ms.L. Before each lesson, she would tell me about her story as an ESL teacher. She has taught many students with different backgrounds and she said she had learned a lot from those students. She said she likes being an ESL teacher and she would tell me about what she had learned from her students. Listening to her stories made me feel special in a very good way:) I was also glad to know that I wasn't the only one who took this special program and that there were many others out there who's trying to improve their English like me.

Ok...Well I was only able to introduce two teachers out of so many others who have influnced me but I'm afraid I can't write them all down. To conclude, I am very glad to have met all the teachers who have taught, helped, and supported me.(Even though I had been a naughty student...)THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! <3

My New Life in KGU☆

Well...its only been about 2 weeks since I started Univeristy but Im already enjoying my life here :) yeaaaayyyyy♪

When I first came to Kangaku, I wasn't nervous or anything and was more likely excited:) I was really looking forward into starting a new life and enjoy my life here. Although I knew that everything was going to be new and that I'll be facing many difficulties for the next 4years, I couldn't wait to start my uni. life:) My impressions of college in general was that I'll be learning and studying more about what I need to know in the future and will eventually find out what kind of jobs which I'm capable of. I didn't really have much in mind about anything else besides the academic stuff...

So when I first came to Kangaku, I was really surprised of how big the campus was and I wasn't expecting so many people. What worried me the most at that time was that I'd get lost and be late to every class period...but luckily, all the classes/courses I took this term, is mostly held in the same building so I don't have to worry about getting lost:)

I've also made new friends and what surprised me the most was that most people turned out to be returnees from abroad and I find many people who has something in common with me:) Even surprising, I've found people that I've met before like when I was in elementary school or found some one who knew one of my friends. It's very exciting meeting new people every day:)

I feel like I will be enjoying my uni life very well☆

I can't wait to make more new friends and learn more about something new:)
