Kia ora koutou! My name is Mizuki and I am a Year 12 student at Tauraroa Area School. I hear that the weather in Japan has been getting colder. How is everyone doing? The weather in my region has been lovely, and it is getting warmer. Some days I can feel summer. However, I will go back to Japan very soon. I will not be able to spend the summer in New Zealand. It makes me very sad.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During my study abroad, my friends have asked me many times, \u201cAren’t you going to write an essay?\u201d It makes me happy to know that there are friends who have been waiting for me to share my essay. In this essay, I would like to talk about what I have learned and how I have grown during the past 11 months.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

First, I would like to share some of my experiences. I am living with my host parents, my seven-year-old host brother, and a lot of animals. In June this year, about eight lambs were born. One of them was found in the mud by my host father. We decided to take care of it. When I saw it, it was covered in mud and looked so weak. It also struggled to drink milk. I wondered if it would become strong and healthy. One day, when we released it into the field with the other sheep, it was standing by the fence, looking at us and calling out all day. I will never forget that moment. It reminded me of my early days of studying abroad. Now, it has grown as big as the other sheep. Seeing how much it had grown made me realize that everyone has the potential to grow, no matter how they start.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At school, I was a member of the basketball team. I used to play basketball when I was in junior high school in Japan, but here, I made so many wonderful memories. Honestly, I can say I have never enjoyed basketball this much before. During the basketball season, after school my friend and I caught the bus, went to town and hung out together until the game started. I had a lot of opportunities to meet students from other schools. It was very different from Japan. I am pretty short for a basketball player in New Zealand, so I got pushed around. After each game, we would high-five every player on the opposing team and say “Good job!” to show our respect for them.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I have so many happy memories that I could talk about them forever. However, there were many times when I felt anxious, struggled, or became depressed. During those times, many people like my teachers, family, host family, and friends encouraged me. However, at that time, I could not trust others or accept their words of encouragement. I believed that I should deal with my own problems by myself rather than relying on others. However, through this experience, I learned that trusting someone doesn’t mean that I have to completely understand them first. Sometimes, we only realize the feelings behind someone’s words when we actually accept them. I realized how much I was supported by small, casual comments, and how those words shaped the way I think without me knowing it. There are also experiences and words that I couldn’t accept at the time, but I may come to understand their meaning later. I guess we don’t always have to find the answer right away. If I could say something to my past self, I would say, “Just be honest. Showing your feelings to someone is nothing to be ashamed of.” I realized that nothing makes me happier than knowing that both I and the people around me are happy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to all the teachers, my family in Japan, my host family and my friends who have supported me. When I was in Japan, I took the presence of the people important to me for granted. It was only after being separated from them that I realized how much they meant to me. I will continue to keep the words they have given me in my heart. Thank you so much for everything.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
