My respectful seniors














I took this picture at the English weekend. It was held at the middle of October. And I was a member of the committee with my great friends. And the seniors who are on the picture are my respectful seniors and they've been to New Zealand as a exchange students. The leftest person on the picture is Kai san. He's called as Yui. He's a teacher of Minamata high school now and I respect him very much. I and him graduated the same high school. which is Kumamoto Gakuen university Fuzoku high school.He's 4 years older than me. He can speak New Zealand English which is called kiwi English. His way to speak is cool and one day Danny who was an exchange student Unitec in New Zealand told me that Yui speaks kiwi English very well and that's perfect. And I thought the way of speaking are similar. And I took interested in it.
I met together Yui when I was in the freshman and it was in the English Lounge.
I often went there and talked well.
And there I took interested in his talk and about unitec New Zealand. And I think it might be my motivative I decided to go to New Zealand. And When I was a freshman I have a lot of opportunities to listen to studying abroad. Because there were many great seniors in the KGU at that time including Kota who has been to Carlton in Canada, Ai-san Mai-san sisters who have been to America and so on. They were great and they influenced me about studying abroad. But this March, they graduated from school and now I've seen them for a long time.
And I was invited some events from my seniors and we had a great time. And I wanted some of them and some of my respective seniors attended the English Weekend. I was pretty glad to see them. And there I took some pictures with them and I listened to unitec New Zealand. They gave me some advice to remember. And the rightest person on the picture is Yuuki-san. He and Yui have been to unitec as a exchange students for one year. Yuuki-san,who is called as Yuuki from exchange students now.
He's nice and interesting senior. He always makes me laugh. He's the same grade as Yui but Yuuki has graduated from school this September and he was in the sixth grade.
Now i sometimes meet him in the campus and we often speak. He's nice person and I attended the ryuugaku houkokukai, which is a report from Japanese exchange students and there I listened his report this June or July.
He's speech was nice and it was understandable for me. And I could learn many unknown things from his report. And He was explaining his life in New Zealand using power point. There were many pictures he took in New Zealand and in his report he told us that he could be on the promotion TV as a Japanese MC. And He showed the video for a while and in his report, he told us his class, which he took Unitec and he could tell us about NZ life. It was memorable and impressed.
And now I sometimes keep contact with his and he gives me some advice. I thank him very well.
Then I'll talk about the person who is on the picture next to me. She's Anri, who is in the third grade and her major is hospitality Management. She is also from the same high school as me and she's one year older then me. I often meet her when i go to the international dormitory and we often talk. She's good my senior as well. And the last person I'll introduce is Keiko. She is also in the third grade and she majors in English as well. She and Anri have been to NZ as a exchange students for half a year. And these two seniors came back to Japan this August. So they know the newest information about NZ. I often ask them how the life in NZ is. And they tell me that it is good and New Zealander are kind but their English is a little faster than American English. They often tell me to study British English. Because it's similar to New Zealand English. And now I'm doing it sometimes when I have time.
That's what I wanna introduce to you and I wanna say that's all but this is a part of Keita's boot camp so I can't finish this post yet.
I think I'm blessed with people including friends, seniors and teachers because I can get information about studying abroad whenever I wanna know and I have good friends to keep trying hard with me. they are my treasure and I'd like to get along with them from now on.

I have little time to spend with my great friends because I'll leave Japan in the end of January and my friends'll also leave Japan next August. And we'll meet each other in one and a half years. I'll be sad without my friends but I wanna try to do my best. We are supposed to meet each other when we are in the fourth grade maybe It'll be on May or June so we won't be able to meet but I wanna keep contact with them on the Face book. Do you know what it is? It's a site we can meet on the internet and we can put on many pictures on it and we can know what's going on.
I said I'm sad but I'm also looking forward to seeing each other in one and a half years. I looking forward to seeing how much we grew in the foreign countries and how we changed and so on.
Almost all of my friends will go to another country and another university but we'll learn English commonly. After coming back to Japan, I wanna hold a drinking party or something and talk about our life in another country, for example how we spent time in another country, what we studied there and so on.
