On November 2nd, twelve alumni, who graduated from Izumigaoka and now work all over Japan, and fourteen graduates, who study at university, visited us to hold special seminars for 1st and 2nd year students.  In the seminars for 2nd year students, the twelve alumni introduced themselves and their jobs to them, gave them a discussion topic and had them discuss in smaller groups. In the seminars for 1st year students, the fourteen graduates made a presentation about the fields they majored in. Through the presentation, the students learned about the skills for delivering a message effectively in a presentation as well as about studies and life in college.
(Voices from the Students)
“Confidence comes only from making an effort.”  I learned this today and decided to remember this phrase throughout my high school life.
I thought college life would be fun and decided to work harder in high school so that I could enter the college that I wanted to go to and enjoy studying there.
“Think freely from convention” - I thought it was a common phrase. “But without conventional knowledge, you could not do so”- when I heard this, I changed my way of looking at the world.  I realized that I should know more about the world in order to create something new and have broader views.
