---☆★University Essay(part 2)☆★---

I had a first period which was "Writing III" class. Then I learned a lot of things. The class's content were "what the students who unlike you do." and "what the students who like you do.” . We talked over about the two topics. And there were lots of various opinions from many people then.

I commute from my house with facilities for travel, and I go to school on foot from Suizenzi station to Kumamoto Gakuen University everyday. It takes about an hour and half an hour over to go to school every time. The an hour and half an hour over is very long time for me, however I try to go to school. Now I would like to live by myself near KGU very much . I want to do a lot of things and I would like to experience various things.

I knew other people’s some opinions. For example, almost people would like to driving by own car, by own bicycle and on foot coming to school, brought from home lunch, buy in the KGU cafeteria to eat lunch, read magazines, and so on. I thought that especially other person want to go to school by own car.
By the way, what some people don’t want to things and don’t have to are smoking and lacking a policy for, and so on.

My friend’s the friend thought she don’t would like to read magazines a bit and smoke, too. However she want to challenge living by herself, in other words, she will pay lighting and heating expenses and water race, and all. I felt that she is very courageous!! Then I ought to imitate her and I respect her minding.

As things turned out, everyone has a lot of things that what they want to or don’t want to. And everyone has various opinions, however when I knew the various opinions of everybody, I became aware of differing individual view.(325words)

---☆★Vacation plans★☆---

Such as there are lots of things, however I think that naturally, I would like to also study various things to increase knowledge and come up my future dream. Owing to do a lot of things in this summer, I think that I decide about my plans and ought to act in advance. (106 words)

---☆★Liro And Stitch（part 2)★☆---

I watched the DVD whose title is “Liro And Stitch” the other day. I will introduce you the “Liro And Stitch” DVD’s story from now on. And I will talk about my feeling. When I watched this movie, I learned various things.

First of all, I will introduce you about “Liro And Stitch” DVD’s story. Girl Lillo who lived in Hawaiian Kauai Island lost parents, and Lilo lived with her older sister Nani. What decided to keep a dog for Lilo without the friend, however Lilo selected Stitch which was trial product number 626 by the gene experiment of the Dr. jumper not a dog. Although Stitch that it was made destruction as a purpose by the gene experiment of the Dr. jumper, Stitch became Lilo’s family, in other words, “Ohana”, Lilo taught consideration and gentleness and Stitch was happy and lived as "a good child" in Hawaii. However, because when I made Stitch for trial product 626, a Dr. jumper was taken by Milky Way Federales, and molecule energy of Stitch was not supplied well, Stitch caused a internal circuit accident and turns back to "a bad child" going on the rampage. What could save Stitch had only Lilo, David, a jumper, love and the courage of "Ohana" all the members. Ultimately owing to everything of being around Stitch, Stitch came back "a good child" without hindrance.

Second I will talk about my feeling in my real life from now on. I thought that even if there is not Stitch with a true Liro family, Stitch is able to live with Liro family, everyone trusts each other and they lead a nice life over help together such as real family. Therefore Stitch was admitted to be one of Liro’s family members and Stitch could become “Ohana”.

Next, I thought that it’s important for everyone to keep various Hawaiian cultures in this DVD. For example everyone gather one place, they dance each other merrily and they see dancing over eat dinner outside at night.

In my real life, we, that is to say, Japanese cherish various Japanese cultures, too. For instance, enka, in other words, sad and melancholic, tea ceremony, sumo, the Bon dancing and so on. I felt we ought to continue trying to remember to treasure our own a lot of cultures.

I watched this DVD about “Liro And Stitch”, I felt that my family and my friends are very precious for me. I learned a lot of things from this DVD. I reconfirmed that what we have consideration for everything and everyone is important thing. (430 words)
