Hello everyone, I'm Kris.!!Today I would like
to introduce three things that I like the most
here in Wesleyan College.
こんにちは、Krisです。
今回は私が気に入っている
Wesleyan Collegeの良さについて
紹介したいと思います。
First: "Making new Friends"
Being in a foreign country is indeed challenging. But if you know that you have true friends
beside you, everything will be easy and possible. In the short period of time of my stay here
Wesleyan, I have made many new wonderful friends and reunited with my old friends.

Because we came from different countries and grew up in different cultures, I find it always
interesting to listen to their ideas and thoughts not only because it's new, but because I am
learning from them. For example,on how they see and interpret things based on their own
cultural perspectives which is really different to mine and other Japanese friends as we have
our own different culture. However, I believe that despite of having so many differences,
my new friends and I have one thing in common, we are all unique and we give
importance to each other. :-)

海外で生活を送ることは、とても勇気のいることですが、
約半年間という短い留学期間の中で、
留学前から異文化体験の多い環境にいたため、
一人一人異なる文化を持っていますが、
Second: "Learning other foreign Language"
Hola! Me Llamo Kris:-) Soy de Japon.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I'm learning Spanish!! To be completely honest, of all the
interesting subjects I have here in Wesleyan, Spanish class is my FAVORITE^^
I learned a little bit about Spanish when I was a kid, because my Grandfather sometimes
talked to me in Spanish. But when I grew up I lost my interest in learning the language as
I focused more on learning English. Now I am taking Spanish class, though my professor
is from Africa, he speaks fluently in Spanish and as a matter of fact his first language is French!
Now I learned how to use basic Spanish words to make a conversation. I am really glad
because aside from enhancing and developing my English ability skills, I am also able to learn
a new foreign language which I believe will be a stepping stone towards my beautiful future.

こちらに来てから、
とても充実している科目数の中でも、
もともと幼い頃に祖父がスペイン語で話しかけてくれる環境にあっ
授業ではアフリカ出身の教授がとても流暢なスペイン語で教鞭をと
母語はフランス語で、
今のところは日常会話のレベルまで進んでいます。
他言語を学ぶことで英語力の向上と、
Third: "Service Learning"
When I was in Japan, my beloved school, Hiroshima Jogakuin University gave us
an opportunity to have experienced the Peace and Leadership program and
Fieldwork Abroad. Being part of the program, I learned many incredible things,
especially about serving people. Now, here in Wesleyan College, I and two of my
classmates from Jogakuin are taking the Service Learning class, here our Professor
involves us in community service activities and teach us to apply our experience into
our personal and academic development. We are learning different social issues and
how to engage ourselves in order to help people in need.

We also do some volunteer activities such as; Tutoring in middle and high school students, feeding the homeless, WOW a day event and many more. Recently we volunteered at OCMULGEE National Monument Festival. It was a native american festival attended by more than 3,000 people. We were separated to do our own jobs, some of us, were in a shop, Mollie and I were in a clay table, entertaining
and helping the kids on how to make different things using clay. Though it was a bit tiring we had so much FUN!!^^
課外授業でのボランティア活動内容も充実していて、

This is only the beginning of our journey here in Wesleyan. I know that there are tons of more interesting things and events are yet to come. However, I am willing to learn and embrace all of them because just like any of my fellow GSE friends, I am here to study, learn, explore, to find myself, be independent and of most of all to enjoy and have fun:-)
Thank you so much^^
まだまだWesleyan Collegeでの留学生活はほんの序盤ですが、
