＊There were times when I was not able to express myself in English.  However, when I was able to, it gave me a lot of confidence. 
＊Before joining this program, I assumed the high school students from China and Korea had some kind of hatred toward Japanese, but I found out that this assumption was not true as I had conversations with them.
