Dear students,

Junior high school is finished! I'm excited, anxious and

interested to see how things will go for you next year.

I'm going to miss your genkiness.

You are the antithesis of most students in the States, which made for some unique/confusing/interesting and frustrating moments. But I learned to appreciate the differences and was able to embrace your culture. Many of you were 'reluctant' to learn English,

which proved advantageous for me

as I have ended up learning way more Japanese than I thought possible.

Guess we learned together and learned from one another.

Continue to do your best and try your hardest! Ganbatte ne! ~aNne
