Students arrived in Seattle on March 27th

Since our students arrived in Seattle on March 27th, one month has already passed. This week I heard some student comment amazedly, “Wow! A whole month already. So fast!”, but considering all the activities they have had, I can’t believe it has been only one month: Orientation, Seattle downtown tour, elementary school visit (Edmonds), tulip fields tour, Mariners game and Safeco Field stadium tour, hiking in the forest around campus (Shoreline), conversation clubs at local churches, gospel choir practices, parties with college clubs, and of course classes, classes, classes every weekday. Some students have already been selected for internships and will begin working at the Mariners Team Store, Executive Hotel Pacific, and Tillicum Village (Northwest Indian Cultural Facility) in May.

The students have been adjusting well to American life – learning the bus system, making new friends at school and in their communities, and adapting to homestay life. At orientation we emphasized “Be active!”, and most students seem to be following that advice. About 35 students have signed up for the scuba diving course this summer, and several students work out in the school gym or do sports in the local park every day after school, trying to shape up more fun activities this spring and summer.

Tomorrow we will have our bowling tournament with all HTC students from Edmonds and Shoreline, as well as teachers and some international and local students from the two colleges. No doubt, the students will be excited to see school mates from the same school in Japan who are now studying at the other school (Edmonds or Shoreline) whom they have not seen since arriving in Seattle.

＊♪＊ TOU-NICHI-BUN (vol.22) ＊♪＊

A new course, called the “LS course” (TOU-NICHI-BUN Language Studio) started on the 8th of April. This course is intended for the students who have Working Holiday visas, Short-term visas, or Family visas, and focus mainly on conversation skills.

This special course lasts only 3 months, but already the teacher and the students are communicating actively in the class.
I can’t wait to see how much they are able to improve their conversation skills.

※ This LS course will be held every 3 months.
Also if you are interested, you can join the class that is already in progress.
