I can’t believe that we will return to Japan the day after tomorrow. Also, I can’t believe that this is my last blog. I wrote blog every day for the first time. In addition, the blog was written in English! I can’t believe me, because I’m not at write English! When I was a student in Japan, I was the worse at English, so I have never got good score on English test. I wonder if I grew a little from study abroad. I hope so!
I had experienced a lot of things here. My best experience at UAFS is that I taught a lot of people Japanese culture. For example, “Girls Inc.” I like children. When I was in Japan, I heard that I could play with children if I went to UAFS. It was one of the reasons why I decided to go to UAFS. It was difficult for me to teach children that. However, children were pretty and smart. In addition, we helped each other, so I really enjoyed this part of my ACE experience!
I helped many people here. My English was far from perfect, but I was able to live here. Thank you for your help.
I studied in America and I really felt that I wanted to be able to speak English. After I return to Japan, I will continue to study, then I’ll do my best to show my growth someday!
I’m truly glad that I could spend this semester at UAFS. These experience is treasure! Thank you for everything. I love UAFS!

Hello, I want to write about this semester. It was hard for me to live in America. At first time, I was not habituated to stay here. I was stressed to me. I want to write about how to encourage myself. I don't want to have a stress, but we cannot live without it. We must find the answer that is acting in order to relieve some of our stress. I listen to music and play tennis. Playing sport is good for your health. I like candies which is better than one sell in Japan. I want to bring it for my family and my friends. I have to pack my clothes. It is difficult to plan that what should I bring to Japan. I think I had to buy more gift. Most international students do not have a car. I think it is difficult for us to go somewhere. I hope to stay longer. I will not forget about what happened here, good memories, American friends, teachers, tourers, international office, baddy and my friends. I want to see you again. If I could, I wanted to come here. I am glad to see you. I had a great time.

I can't believe this blog is the last. I really enjoyed at UAFS. I had many experience at UAFS. I made a lot of friends, I went to many places with BCM people, I taught origami and calligraphy many times and so on. My best memory is the halloween. I had never experienced such a great halloween. I bought a cleopatra's costume for the first time, I went to trick or treating and I said track or treat in front of each house's door for the first time, I curved a jack o rantan for the first time. I think the things which I experience for the first time are so funny and interesting. I have many things which I have never experienced. I wanna try many new things after I'll go back to Japan. I'm happy to be surrounded very helpful people. I want to say thank you to tutors,and other people. However actually I wanna take normal class some times because my friends who are doshisya students take normal classes and they have many American friends. I took theater class two times it was interesting. I think I want to take a few normal classes. However my English skill is low so maybe I can't understand what teacher say. Anyway,I really enjoyed ! Thank you for many things. I can't explain my feeling in the words. I'm proud to be an UAFS student! I love ACE! I love UAFS!

Actually I liked everything. I liked all activities! I saw the awesome nice roomies. My memory is filled with them. They always made me happy. My English it not good, They talkd me a lot. I was so happy.

Also there are so many nice people in UAFS. When I joined Cub Camp, I did'nt know all of coversations. Eventhough, some American helped me. Mot only Cub Camp but also any situations, American helped me. I like American family. They expressd their emotion to each other. It's really good things. So I decided when I go back to Japan, I'm gonna say Thanks or I love you to my mom. 

My new goal is to lean about Christian. I am interested in Christian since I went to a chrch. Also, I'm gonna study English harder. Then, I'm gonna be a good English speaker.

I am going to write about study abroad. I thought that it was very good for to come America. I could learn about this country's culture and values from teachers and friends.

Also, young people could study abroad if young people wanted to go to study abroad. I thought that it will getting increase to go to study abroad, because Japanese company need people who have a lot of abilities, for example people can speak English, Chinese, Korean. It will be good point to employ company. I will introduce to study abroad. It will be good experience for us. Also, I think that it is good younger than older absolutely. I want to come again here.

Hello. I want to write about why I came to America. I did not think about, study abroad when I was a high school student. My English score is not bad, but not good. There are many people who have gotten a higher score than me. At first, I had never visited America. I did not know about America. Second, I had never lived alone. Third, I though that I could live in Japan, so I did not have to study English. However, I have to change my opinion. I heard that one of my friends who live in Japan take English classes only speak English. I thought it was good to improve our English skills. I think that English in the most famous language in the world. I decided to study English hard. It is the same time when I decided to go to study abroad. I think I had a great time.

My thinking and looking changed by studying abroad. I was able to know real Americans. It was very interested. This world is very big, and there are various people. Today, we are able to foreign countries immediately. I think that we should go abroad. And, I think that it was good that I was able to various experiences abroad while I’m young. So I use these experiences in the future. In addition, I made a new goal. I intend to study English from the beginning again after I return to Japan, so I would like to go to America again if I’m able to become fluent in English! I feel that I want to study English more by studying abroad!

I recommend study abroad for my friends. My study abroad is great! My dream was to go to study abroad. So I know it's not easy to go, but, I had great experiences in my study abroad. Also I learned many American cultures. We can study English in Japan, but to study culture can't in Japan. I have many friends who want to go study abroad. If I could come easily, maybe I didn't study English much. So, I want them to know that to go to study abroad is not easy. 

I have many awesome experiences in my study abroad. I never forget these experiences. I learned many American cultures. Also I liked Christians. Christian is the biggest culture in America. I'm able to learn these cultures. I want Japanese to know religious. I could find my dream in my study abroad. If I couldn't come to America, I didn't find it. I have many nice friends in America. I'm happy to see them.

I recommend studying abroad because I had very nice time here. I could experience the real American halloween and thanks giving break. It was so fresh and interesting thing for me because I had never experienced such a great events in Japan. After I came here I learned many things. When I was in Japan, i didn't know about American people, American culture, American food and so on. I read many magazine about America in Japan but i couldn't imagine the real America. However after I saw the real America, I could make American friends,I could eat American foods, I could experience American cultures. I think if someone want to know about other countries, they should visit to the country. I think my English skill are better than before I came to here. It's good for improving language skill to study abroad. I learned a lot of thing at UAFS so I recommend studying abroad.

Hello. I want to write about my Thanksgiving Holiday.  I went to Seaworld and Space center. That aquarium is very famous. I watched the killer whales show at the aquarium. I have seen dolphins before at a Japanese aquarium, but I had never seen killer whales. I can't forget that feeling. The illuminations at the aquarium that I have not been to in a while were very pretty. I bought souvenirs when I went to the Space center. I bought t-shirt and carllneder. I ate steaks every night. I like steak, it is the best of the food in the world. That was the first time when I tried to eat steak rare. I like my steak rare. I order steak medium. I missed it. I thought steak rare is the best. I love it. I had a great item there. I will never forget about it. I want to go there again.

I'm going to write about how was my Thanksgiving holiday.
I went on a trip to Orlando from 23rd to 27th with ACE students. I went there for the first time. I looked forward to very much, because there were many killer whales in the Sea World! My favorite animal is killer whales, but there are few killer whales in Japan.
I went to Sea World and Kennedy Space Center. Also, I walked around the hotel. Of course, my best part of the holidays is Sea World! Shows of killer whales were performed three times a day, so I saw the show three times! I was very happy, because I was able to see a lot of shows. Killer whales were very pretty and smart. I cried, because I was moved. I took a lot of pictures and movies. I wanted to continue to live here. I’m going to come here again!
That was a very wonderful trip! I had a lot of good experiences.
