Little by little, I gradually become \u201cme\u201d.<\/h1>\n

” Every single human being is not born to this world as ” me ” from the beginning, yet each of us would probably gradually become ” me ” little by little. Each of us accepts ” me as I am ” and eventually will create more desirable “me as I am”. ”
\nThe birth of a person is the beginning of a journey of searching for himself\/herself.
\nLife can be joyful, but at times life can be painfully hard. Also, there might be times that we run into inevitable ordeals. Through these times, each of us ultimately create a new “me” by overcoming one thing after another while getting help from friends, teachers, siblings and\/or family. There are times that we might get frustrated. Let\u2019s accept it as a currently evolving form of “me as I am”. We could live with confidence if we simply acknowledge “me”.<\/p>\n

The recent bazaar is again a great success\"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Japanese language school was wrapped up by a friendly atmosphere which was somewhat different from usual. As soon as the classes finished, many children and teachers could be seen walking to the bazaar. It was as if they had been impatiently waiting to go there. Thank you to everyone who was involved.
\nThe bazaar raised $3897 this time.<\/b><\/p>\n
