Hello. Now, I will talk about my life and friendships in Rikkyo. Please ignore my grammar and speaking mistakes.
Well, I came to Rikkyo when I was middle school 2nd grade, about 2 years ago.
Now, before I talk about my life in Rikkyo, I’ll talk what I thought about Rikkyo, before I came here.
Before I came to Rikkyo, I heard that student had to pray every morning, they couldn’t go out whenever they wanted, and they had many table manners, and so on. So, to tell the truth, I wasn’t looking forward to coming here. And when I came here, as I expected, I got confused about the rules. The thing that I got most confused about was the atmosphere. I couldn’t join in to their atmosphere, and I had a hard time to join in with them. But in the meantime, there was an eruption in Iceland, and many students couldn’t come to entrance ceremony, so I had a time to speak with them one by one, so I can join in with them. And now, I have many friends in many grades. I’m really glad of it.
Now, let me talk about my 15 classmates. There are 8 boys and 8 girls including me.
They are cheerful, and sometimes clever. We are always fooling around, but they are good students, whenever they should be, I suppose. There is a girl who is always talking about animations. She always sings in the classroom. Listening to her, and enjoying it, is the girl who can speak brilliant English, better than me. Third, there is a boy who is very shy, so he can’t speak with the girls for a long time. He’s very good at football too. There are 2 more classmates who are good at football. One boy, who came this term, is very polite. The other boy always makes us laugh. There are 3 classmates that are so funny, and always in the centre of us. They are 2 girls and 1 boy, and they are very good friends to each other. By the way, in our classroom, there is a giant, and a barbarian. The giant, is over 185cm, and very good at computer. I think he could be an engineer. And the barbarian is the nickname for the girl who is very energetic, but unfortunately, she has a disease on her leg. I hope she will be fine soon. We have a painter in our classroom, too. He’s very good at painting, and he is always thinking about enjoyable things. I respect him very much. Also, there is a girl that I really respect.
She’s so intelligent, and good at playing sports. I have never seen such a clever girl. On top of that, there is a girl who is absent-minded all the time. But she’s very friendly, and gave us lots of advice. I can never thank her enough. There is a girl who is always sleeping in the classroom. She is very boyish, and it’s very fun to talk with her. At last, there is one more boy, who isn’t here for now. He’s compared to a sun. He always shines on us, and makes us happy.
Well, I did many things with them. I got happy sometimes, and got mad sometimes. There are good memories, and bad memories. And when I think about those memories, I reach to a word which is [thank you]. I had many memories because of my classmates. I couldn’t have many happy memories without them. I want to say a huge thank you.
I want to say thank you to my older students, younger students, and also to the teachers. I gave many troubles to them, especially to Mr. Koda. He’s my homeroom teacher for 2 years and taught me many things. Really thank you.
So, I’m really proud to meet these wonderful people, and I’m really proud to graduate from this school. I’ll never forget these 2 years, because these 2 years were so special to me. And finally, thank you to all of you for listening to my long speech. Thank you.
