① SHARBEL
Hey!
My name is Sharbel, and I am a 23-year-old student from Norway. I have just finished the second semester of my second year at university, and this semester has been very special to me because it was an exchange semester at Kansai Gaidai University.
I have now finished my exams, but instead of going back to Norway, I decided to apply for an internship in Japan. This was mostly because I was not quite ready to leave Japan. Even though this is still only my first week as an intern at Shijonawate High School, I can already tell that I am going to miss my stay here when it is over.
So far, I have visited different classes, introducing myself and helping out wherever I can. Additionally, I have joined some classes as a student. For example, in music class I got to play guitar and sing "Over the Rainbow" with the class. The cooking class was definitely an experience I won't forget, where I got to make dumplings and tea with the students, and of course, we cleaned up after ourselves.
All in all, these first few days have been amazing. I have felt nothing but welcomed and taken care of, and the students have been very kind and respectful. I am looking forward to spending more time here, although I am not looking forward to having to leave.
Kind regards,
Sharbel

② NEMO
Hello everyone, my name is Nemo Collazo! I'm a third year college student from Portland, Oregon, here in Japan as part of a study abroad program at Kansas Gaidai University. I am also an English major who intends to become a teacher in the future, either overseas or in the States.
After finishing my term last week, I joined the staff of Shijonawate High School as an English intern. So far, my week has been filled to the brim with introductions, questions, and all sorts of new adjustments. So far, I've already participated in a variety of lessons, including a cooking and music class that was incredibly fun, if a little nerve-wracking. The kids don't seem to mind, though!
I've already learned so much about the structure of classes, the lesson plans, and how hard the students work each day. While living in Japan, I realized just how hard it is to maintain a conversation in a language that is entirely foreign to your own, so I am blown away by the student's willingness to step outside of their comfort zone and speak to me in English. I realize that it isn't easy, so I'm putting as much effort as I can into engaging with them whenever I can.
The enthusiasm and energy at this school is unlike anything I've experienced in my home country. I have been attending an assigned homeroom class every day, observing their preparations for the culture festival. It is inspiring to see, and I can't wait to see all of their complete projects next weekend.
Every day has been a new learning experience for me. With every self introduction, every lesson attended, I have a better grasp of the rhythm of this school, and of education in general. I've spent my whole life being the student in the classroom, so to be on the other side is uncharted territory for me. Still, I am trying my best to be a resource for these students in their growth.
Looking forward to the days ahead!
Nemo
