Journal #12

I would like you to think about 3 things you are thankful for this year. Why are you thankful for these things? Use specific examples.


What a great holiday!!
3 things I am thankful(^^)


1. I am so thankful that I am here in America.

To study abroad in America has been my dream since when I was 16. I am so happy that finally, the dream came true. I think I am so lucky to be here in this year, because I could enjoy the election which is once in 4 years. Actually, in Japan, most students really don't care about politics or whoever the prime minister is. But here, every students has their own opinions, so I was so impressed.

2. I am thankful that I could realize the importance of my family.

Before I came to America, I had lived with my family. Now I lived with my friends and I really enjoy my life in America, however I sometime want to share what is happening here. I don't miss Japan, but I miss my family. Still, I can often talk to them through Skype without time lag. I am so thankful to the development of technology!!!!

3. I am thankful that I am able to learn a lot !!!!

I can learn something from everything I do here in America. When I was in Japan, no matter how hard I tried to study English, there was some invisible limitation, but now, to watch TV is also learning. I love chatting, and chatting with my friends is also learning.
I am not planning to enroll University, so I could choose some language school, but I am so lucky to choose this University, I mean ALP. Also I am taking open University course which is so helpful!! I can feel the college life in America!! There are many interesting events going on in this campus!!! Difference culture, religions, races, languages and so on... there are many things that I can't experience in my country.

Thanks God!!!

I hope everyone have a nice holidays(^^)
