I have learned many things from my experience in America.
There is a lot of nature in Minnesota. When I was a little, I used to play in nature, but now I can't be in nature in Japan because of the decreasing nature in the city. Therefore I was glad to experience many things in nature. For example, I canoed, rode horseback, went to some lakes and watched a beautiful sunset while biking. I could experience what I couldn't in Japan. I felt the beauty of nature, so I think we should protect the nature for the future and live in harmony with nature.
Next, I felt a strong connection with people. For instance, the block party is held each August and Americans have dinner with their relatives. There are few opportunities that Japanese can communicate with other people. Japan lacks this communication with other people. I think that people can't live without good communication, so I think communication is very important for living.
Third, I think that Americans want to help other people, so there are many opportunities that people can participate in programs for helping other people in America. I often think that I would like to help people who need help, so I was glad when I took part in the program : making meals for children who are starving around the world. Although the power of one person is very small, the power becomes very big when people cooperate with each other, I think. I learned the importance of helping other people.
To have come here made my world view expanded. I want to make use of my experience in America.
Finally, I want to express to my host family, Rod and Luann and their children my appreciation. This homestay program was the first time for me. I was very nervous, but I spent good times with you because you were very kind and gentle. When I was sick, Luann, my host mother made me soup and took me to the hospitaland checked on me in the middle of the night. Rod, my host father took me to the store to get some Japanese food and medicine and Anya and Joshua, my host sister and brother cared about me. I was so delighted. I'm sorry I troubled you and my English skill was poor. I am glad I could make good memories with you. Thank you very much. I will never forget this! And Celeste, thank you for taking me to school. I enjoyed talking to you in the car. I am very happy that I made a friend, like you!!:) Thank you all very much!!
This is my speech at the graduation ceremony. I enjoyed staying in America. Someday, I would like to go to Minnesota and see my host family and Celeste.
