New year.

The new year day of 2011 was a little special for my family because 2011 is the first year that my grandmother lives in my house. My grandmother ordinary had lived alone in distance after mu grandfather died of cancer. My parents suggested her to come to our house and live with my family. But she refused that request because she wanted to go on her job. But recently, she became weak and too old to live alone. So she gave up her shop and decided to come to our house.

It was purely glad for me because I love my grandmother. But my mother faced a difficult situation. My grandmother can't help housework and often forgets what she is doing. My mother must go to her job and assist her mother everyday. I can't imagine how hard her burden is. She looks like so tired whenever I go back to my house. I also felt hard. To tell the truth, I didn't want to go home even if new year.

But while I was staying in my house, my grandmother gradually started to work. She washed the clothes, put away trashes, and finally make some special food for new year day. I couldn't understand what she was thinking. But she made her daughter so happy. My mother said my grandmother ' Thank you' after a long time.

Although my grandmother had changed so much, she is still my grandmother who I love deeply. I think this new year is one of most impressive and unforgettable new year.

Japan in 2031

　Do you think recent Japan is in terrible situation? I don't think so. I think Japan is in front of the two ways. One way, which will lead us to prosperity and stability, is disappearing. Japan is able to go into the another way, which will lead us to poverty and unease.

On this way, Japan in 2031 will be in terrible situation. Until then, Japanese economy will collapse. Many people will lost their jobs, and large-scale slums which once existed after WWⅡ will be formed in the big cities. Pension plan and health service will break down. Therefore, the poor can't accept property aid from government. Only rich people can keep rich life. The gap between the rich and the poor will be not revocable. Possibly, there will be no country which was called Japan in 2031.

To avoid such a terrible future, Japan in 2010 must make a right decision. Otherwise, we will go into serious situation.

What I used to love.

As like many children, I loved playing with toys. I loved my soccer ball, plastic models, LEGO blocks, and Nintendo games. I can still recall when I got them. Every toys made me happy and I thought "I will never throw away my toys. Even if I become an adult, I want to play with them".

I became an adult. I don't have my toys now. I threw away my toys because they were broken or became old and my hobbies was changed as I grow up. There is no special reason. It is natural.

I don't want to buy new toys. I feel nothing when I go by the toy shops. But sometimes I miss my toys I used to love. If I can get back them, I will not throw away again. I want to play with them again.

People I dislike.

I hate math-communication, especially, TV programs. But I don't hate watching TV in itself. I often watch some kinds of programs, for instance, News, Movies, Travels on TV. Strictly speaking, I hate people who are controlled by TV.

I think many people in this country believe in what TV says, buy things what TV introduces, listen music what TV pushes, and vote for candidates who TV recommends. They seem a bit crazy. I can't understand why they pretend and act just as TV performers. Of course if we know common topics, we can make friends easily. But I think original opinions are more important than common topics. Sometimes we should be different from other people.

Recently, many educator and math-communication have insisted the importance of originality. Despite this trend, I guess many people don't have their own originality. They just choose some characters from TV. They just act to make themselves look as person who has originality!

TV is great amusing tool. I agree we can spend happy time with TV. But, in this world, there are many other amusing things. Turn off TV. We should seek our originality!

A good friend

I have a lot of good friends. I want to introduce you all of them, but I cannot do it here. Therefore, I will introduce my mysterious friend Takuya here.
It is only five times that I had met him. However, he became one of the great friend of mines surprisingly. We were students at the same school. And, we were the same school years. However, we had never spoken in the high school. After graduation, we met for the first time.

Takuya has many hobbies. He likes playing guitar and singing. He is interested in the fashion. And ｈe is very well informed about politics and economy.
He has many knowledge. And he is very good at the talk. So I love hearing his story.

Takuya is very ambitious. He is planning to make his own company someday. I think he will become good president.

Because we had met for only five times, I don't know well about him. I want to talk with him more and more.

We will plan to meet next month. I am looking forward to talking with him!

A special day.

Mr. Hatoyama came to our university on October 18. He made a speech in front of the many students,and answered our question. He spoke his political policy and the expectation for the next generation to us.
Before this reception,the professor Washio who invited Mr. Hatoyama ordered to me that ask Mr. Hatoyama some questions in the reception. I accepted it. And, four people besides me participated in this reception.

We began to learn about Mr. Hatoyama, and
make the questions. Other students had a lot of knowledge about politics. So, I learned many things from them. It was a nice study for me.

On October 18th, we met Mr.Hatoyama before the reception. He was very kind to us. Many students spoke to him and take pictures with him.

During this reception, ｗe heard his speech by the front row. His story was very good. Though a lot of people say that he is a bad politician, I respect him as a philosopher. I agreed to his ideal. A lot of audiences applauded after his speech.

And we started to ask him our questions. He politely answered them. I think I learned many things through this event. It was a special experience for me.

Trip to America.

My family and I will travel America from 3d Nov to 9th Nov.
First, we will visit at Disney land, California. My older sister is really looking forward to visiting there.
After California, we will go to Princeton, New Jersey. Princeton is where my family had lived in about one year. But sadly, I don't remember life in there because I was very little child. I always regret that I forget English. My mother says I had spoken English in the Kindergarten. If my family had stayed America more longer, I could master English! What a waste!
(Actually it is one of reason why I entered SIS)
And at last, we will fly to New York. My father will participate in New York City Marathon. I will watch the show at the Broadway theater with my mother and older sister.
It is just a trip, so I'm not sure whether there are opportunities to use English. But I will enjoy trip and try to speak English as possible!
