Student diary in Boston, Aug 27 ①
I got up early and went to the park. It was very peaceful and full of nature—there were squirrels and geese. When I gave some bread to the squirrels, I was surprised to find myself suddenly surrounded by many of them! One of them seemed to really like me and even climbed onto my shoulder.
Next, I went shopping with my group. We visited many clothing stores, cosmetic shops, and supermarkets. It was a fun and fast-paced experience.
Finally, we had a farewell ceremony at a restaurant. Many people around me were crying, but I didn’t cry. It didn’t feel like the end—I felt as if these days would continue forever, so it didn’t really feel like goodbye.
I’ve learned so much through this training program. When I go back to Japan, I want to remember to be proactive and believe in myself. I will treasure this experience for the rest of my life!
