School in Japan

To be honest, I was equally excited as I was nervous about my first day of school; however, within minutes of being there, I knew that I had nothing to worry about. I was given two "buddies" to help me out during class, and everyone in my class was extremely nice. I had the opportunity of participating in the school's sports festival which was fun. The most meaningful thing my classmates did for me was they made a scrapbook full of messages from each student, and they gave it to me on the last day of school. It was an amazing surprise that I will keep forever.
