Hello TGH International fans of all ages and shapes. It's another year of fun and frivolity with the students and teachers of Tokiwagi Gakuen's international class program. In this post, I'll introduce you to some of the fresh new faces in the first year- 19 of them!
This year's new girls have chosen the International course for a number of reasons. Many of them are interested in extended homestays overseas, while others have told us that they are excited about hosting students visiting from our sister schools this year. Some of them entered the course because of our focus on multi-cultural learning, while others joined because they hate math! (just kidding)
We have a lot of Brass band girls (clarinet, sax and trumpet), sporty girls (volleyball, badminton, basketball and a track & field star that is 2nd in Miyagi in the 100meter), and artistic girls (calligraphy and animation). Of course, our class wouldn't be complete without a prima-ballerina, so we've got one of those too- who I have already chained to her desk so she doesn't fly away to Europe and never come back (just joking again, I only handcuffed her).
Don't worry girls- patience and time, patience and time.
By the way, our motto for this year is
“Our thoughts today will be our achievements tomorrow.”
Not bad eh? I sort of came up with that on my own after going through a bunch of inspirational quotes that I felt weren't satisfactorily inspirational. I'm looking forward to checking out this blog a year from now and seeing how many of these girls will have had their thoughts blossom like the cherry trees above have yet to do, into achievements. I'm hoping all of them.
