Introduce Myself (week1)

          Hi, my name is Shiho and I'm from Japan. Actually, I've been in California for 6 months and it is my last quarter. And, I'm second grade student at University in Japan, Tokyo and my major is communication and culture. I mainly study about global issue and social media at the University. I came here because I would like to improve my English skills and have confidence. After I finish the class, I will back to Japan and go to University as a third grade. Actually, this is my first time to America and my first week in America was so hard because I couldn’t catch what host family or teacher said and there were many homework every day. However, as I kept trying hard, I thought that I’d like to experience new things. As I wrote, it is my last quarter, so I decided to join the tennis club in main campus and make friends for my challenge. Therefore, I will enjoy rest of time for trying new activity. So, I hope this quarter will be satisfying for me.
