My First Week

by Mizuki

I was stressed out when I left my home because I was so nervous. I felt that I both wanted to go to the US, and I wanted to stay in Japan. On the day that I left, my mother and my aunt saw me off when I was going to go to the airport. They said to me,Don't give up.I really felt grateful to them and I hugged them. I was really looking forward to riding on a plane because I like meals on planes and because I can see the flight attendants. Before I wanted to became a flight attendant or airport groundstaff, but now I don't. They seem cool to me!! At the Seattle airport, I thought I'm really in the United States now and I felt excited. Around me, there were many Americans. While we are flying from Seattle to Spokane I was watching the ground. I thought that Spokane has many trees and a lot of snow which were beautiful. Arriving at the Spokane airport, I met my RA, Candice, for the first time. Then I felt excited because my life in America would start soon. When I arrived at Mukoga Fort Wright Institute, I had many things to do, so I was very tired, so that day, I went to bed early before roll call. When the first class begin and I met my new class classmates I got along really well with some of them. I am glad to make some new friends. In my classes, I try to understand what the teachers say, but sometimes I can't understand and sometimes I can. I will do my best in my classes. I hope that this times will become a big step in my life.
