12students from our school went to America from the 24^th of March to the 30^th . The aim of this trip was visiting Academy of Notre Dame de Namur, our sister school, and interacting with the students. For 3 days, we stayed at different host family’s homes. Each student could enjoy the time with her host family. And we had classes at the Academy. We were surprised at the difference from our school’s classes. I hope that this interaction will be continued.

On the last day, we went to New York. First we visited the United Nations. Sr Amarachi, who is a member of Notre Dame NGO and works at the United Nations, told us about what we could do for the world now. Then, we visited the United Nations Headquarters. There is a statue which was exposed to radiation in Nagasaki in 1945 and arephotos of the mushroom cloud which were taken in Hiroshima in 1945. We wondered what we have to do to accomplish world peace.

Next we went sightseeing. We were excited all the time, because everything in New York is wonderful. That night, we went on a cruise around the Statue of Liberty. It was very beautiful, so I was impressed.

This experience was very meaningful for us, so we want to make use of this experience.

Cherry blossoms begin to bloom from the end of March to the early part of April in Japan. The cherry trees are in full bloom now in Seishin. People enjoy the cherry blossoms in the park while they are eating box lunches. These days more and more persons from abroad come to Japan to look at cherry blossoms.

On 19^th, March, we had a junior high school graduation. The celemony was held in a solemn atmosphere. When my name was called and I received a graduation certificate. I really felt that I graduated from junior high school. Though almost everyone goes on to the same high school, I’ll start my high school days with new feelings. I’m looking forward to going to our school with blue collar and socks.

First grade senior high school students attended a sign language lecture class. First we learned our own name from a person in the sign language group, and we took same quizzes. Then some students tried “being deaf” for 10 minutes by wearing earcovers, and we listened to a lecture. The phrase that left an impression on me is “It’s not a pitiable thing to have a handicap”.I learned a lot.

On February 22^nd we held a lecture meeting of future course.

At that time, we learned two important points.One is knowing

many kinds of jobs. By knowing about them, we’ll broaden our

horizons.　If we don’t know about them, we can’t even choose.

The other is keeping on studying more than 30 minutes.

Our ability progress between 30 and 90 minutes since

beginning to study. By keeping that for one week, it can our habit.

Through the lecture meeting, I want to learn much more things.

On February 22nd we first-year students had a long-distance relay road race. It is called ekiden in Japanese. The course which has ups and downs is very hard and specific to Seishin.
We could hear a lot of cheers from the school ground, from the first runner to the final runner. The good point of the Ekiden is cheering on each other whether the runner is good at running or not. Watching each student running hard for oneself and each team was very impressive. As well as watching the first-year students who didn’t give up in to even illness were shining.
