Hello. This is Emily Tomooka and I`m from Japan and I am going to a high school in New Zealand.
First Two Weeks of my New Life In New Zealand
~ニュージーランドでの新しい生活 第一弾~
First Day:First day was a mess for me. I came home with tears. It was not about the classes it was the fact that it was the first time for me that I moved to a new school. It was very hard. I had no problem asking questions to people who walk past me. I didn`t have people that I can talk to. Mum told me that I would take about 3 month to get use to the school and make friends.
Second Day:I had a great time! I had people to talk to. And I found a girl who is in my class a lot. I made friends and I enjoyed it. I came home with a big smile on my face!
After 2 weeks...Not just having a good time at school, I enjoy being in New Zealand. School is very fun. I joined the volleyball team and I am in the A team. I have a lot of people that I can talk to at volleyball. Joining a team makes everything better. I have a group of friends during the day at school. They asked me to go to town next week. Lots of boys are talking to me now. I think that is a great sign on fitting in to a new school. 2週間が経ち…学校だけではなく、ニュージーランドでの生活も楽しんでいます。バレーボールに参加し、Aチームに入りました。バレーでたくさんお話できる人がいるため、参加してよかったと思っています。学校では、たくさんの友達が出来ました。来週、町にお出かけに行く約束をしました。男子も話しかけてくれています。
It has only been 2 weeks but I think I am glad that I chose this road. I know that I will question my choice to live in New Zealand. But I just have to keep on beliving my self. And if I question myself, I have a letter from mum so I can read it when I`m feeling down.
And, being away from my family made me realize how important they are. I know we had some fights and I said some bad things about them but, they are my family and I am so lucky to have them in my life. I love you guys.
