Self introduction 20 years in the future

 20 years from now, I will be 42 years old. I think that is very old thinking from my age. But, I think that 20 years will pass so fast. Adults around me say ‘Time goes by so fast.’ They say in their 30s is faster than 20s and their 40s is faster than 30s. Now, I have no goals or hope. So, it is not possible to introduce 20 years in the future.

 

 My mother is 48 years old and my father is 46 years old. It is older than my age after 20 years. My mother gave birth to me at 25 years old. Then, my father was 23 years old. They were 24 years old and 22 years old that they married. My parents married and had me at an age that I can’t imagine. My father was married at my age. If a birthday of September comes to me, father became age having me. I thought I would not like that. I cannot marry young like my father and my mother and I may not marry. I want to spend it happily if I can marry without quarrelling like my parents. I want to live gently as parents if possible.

 

 We say that the person (women in particular) want to be young, but I want to get old early. I can experience things in various ways, I think that is fun. I want to work so I can take advantage of the English in the future. I cannot have hope even now, but I want to do my best with hoping someday. I want to become able to tell everybody to think about such a thing someday. I want to live steadily and unrestrained until that day. I want to walk the life that I can be proud of to a person someday.

My favorite movie of animation

 I love animated movies such as Howl’s Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Snow White and Little Mermaid. My favorite animated movie is Howl’s Moving Castle. It DVD was watched by about eight times. The reason I fell in love there are two. The first is that I played the solo in the brass band. I played the solo in the City Hall after a long time, so very impressive. Another reason is the appeal of the work itself anymore. I like picture, music in that scene, character set and its view of the world. We can enjoy the works of Studio Ghibli, inc. and Disney into adulthood. Although I will see a lot of works of Studio Ghibli, inc. and Disney now on, I want to remember the one by one.

A day I will always remember

 I always remember when I went to Australia to study as an exchange student in July and August, 2007. The reason I could join this exchange program is they are recruiting one person every year from the Rotary Club of Amakusa. This is the main reason I enrolled in Amakusa high school. A teacher of the founders of the English school where I was attending since I was a sixth grade elementary school told me. The wife of the teacher was the first exchange student. By passing the interview in English and Japanese and document screening, one person was chosen. An exchange student from Australia came to homestay in my house soon afterwards. Her name was Michelle Cox and she was one year older than me. I lived with her for about four months.

 I went to Australia during the summer vacation in July of 2007. I took Singapore Airlines from Fukuoka Airport to Melbourne Airport in Australia. I took the plane alone, I went to Melbourne via Singapore. I arrived in Melbourne about 24 hours after leaving Amakusa. I looked for Michelle and I found my host family who is her family. Her dad was so funny, her mom was very kind and very friendly, her older brother was quiet and her younger sister was very cheerful. I was attending school in Montmorency secondary college in Melbourne. In there, I joined a variety of class such as English, home economics and mathematics. These classes were only in English, it was very fresh to me at the time. I helped in the Japanese class. I helped the class of grade variety, and helped Japanese test of second grade, then I used English and Japanese. 

 I got used to life in Australia, going to the mall alone, I purchased various things such as a book. Surprisingly at the mall, it was big and the price of books changed immediately. I went to Australia when the Deathly Hallow which is the final volume of Harry Potter was released. I was waiting a little, I purchased it at a price of about half the price of the first. I went with Michelle and her ​​boyfriend Michel to the cinema, we watched the Simpsons. I went with host family to party, birthday of grandma in her mother's side, Zoo and so on.
 
 I am very grateful to the Rotary Club. I think that I studied for about two months on account of the Amakusa high school, and I was able to spend a very productive time more than living in Japan. I keep in touch with my host family even now, and we talk about going to various places. I look forward to the day when I will see them someday.
