LEARN

This program has changed my life and my character.Minnesota has been very valuable to me.Because,I had a lot of good experiences.For example, talking with American especially my host family,staying at their house,visiting many places and shopping.I was very happy during my time in Minnesota.
When I am in Japan,I don't speak English in everyday conversation.So, I'm not good at speaking English very well.But,in Minnesota,I had to try to express myself to my host family in English. I found it difficult to talk with them,I was very frustrating. But I decided not to be afraid and I used a dictionary.As a result,I feel that I have grown up a lot. I heard lectures, I learned about the education system, important things for living, the first teacher in Minnesota, and race issues. I am pleased that I have had the experience to learn a lot about American culture.
Now,I regret that I couldn't speak more to my host family. But I want to continue to speak English with other Americans. So, I decided to try ro practice more and I would like to come back again!
Thamk you for taking care of me!!
