The High School Memory

 This is the hardest topic ever! There are plenty of favorite high school memories. But if I have to pick one, I would say when my best friend Junna, who I've known for almost 6 years, and I were having a hard time. It was the first summer of high school. We were in different high school, so that we didn't get an opportunity to see each other like we used to do, and we both were struggling in the new surroundings. After the summer vacation, I had skipped school some times and one day, I was talking to Junna on the phone and she told me how she is doing in her school. I figured out she was having even harder time than I was. After a while she couldn't continue going to school anymore, even if she had tried. So in order to start everything over, she dropped her school out and started working. But I decided to keep going to high school and get in university to study to be a doctor. We have chosen totally different ways, however, it was OUR answer which we thought together, struggled together, and helped each other. This whole thing sounds just stupid teenager thing, but through this experience, we have grown up and now, respect each other a lot. We also have dreams to accomplish. The hard time gave us hope and a great friendship at the end. It'll be my best memory of high school life.

Life in ID.

 So, it has been almost 9 months since I came here. During this staying, I had a lot of amazing experiences. And the most precious thing that I got in here is people. I learned the relationships between people are priceless, and so important. You can't trade it with anything. I got a great opportunity to find it in here. I'll never forget people who I got to know in here. And I learned so much differences and similarities such as teenagers, people, and school, and the biggest one is transportations. I normally take a walk, ride my bike, or use public transportation to go to somewhere in Japan, but in here, everyone uses cars and even the high school students do (which is crazy for me). So according to those reasons my life in here has been a little different from in Japan. I miss my home and am looking forward to go back, but I really love my life in here and will miss here so much when I go back. I really am glad that I came here and got many precious host family, friends, teachers, and experiences. I’m going to come visit here again sometime in near future.
