NINJA NIGHT !!!!!

December 5th...It was the most exciting night for me in MFWI!!! Many people came to see three presentations including ours. Shoko, Hiromi and I didn't feel nervous at first because we decided to enjoy our presentation, but as our turn came closer, we gradually felt nervous. Especially I was nervous so much. I think I was very scared to make mistakes because I did a bad presentation last week and I was ashamed of myself. I didn't want to do the same mistake, and I wanted ours to be successful. Our presentation was the last of the day, and I was the last speaker in my group so I waited, waited and waited. I felt tired to wait for my turn when we were giving rehearsals, but at the night I felt my turn was coming soon. It was difficult to stand in front of people with Ninja clothes!! Even Shoko or Hiromi spoke, I felt someone gazed at me. Besides, I couldn't breathe well because I wore zukin tightly not to be loose. I was really lucky because I didn't faint!

Actually I don't remember clearly what I spoke, but I just remember that we could do the big thing. We were nervous although we practiced a lot, but we did our best on that night! I enjoyed speaking because many people who listened to us nodded, were surprised and laughed. I could see my friends, teachers, RAs and host family smiled. That was very helpful for me. Thank you so much.

I found it was no matter to make mistakes because audiences laughed about that and made the mistakes a kind of amusement of a presentation. I made mistakes but I felt good after finishing the presentation. I also felt confident because I had never done a big thing like that. I'm sure I couldn't do such a exciting thing without Shoko and Hiromi!!! I'm really proud of them and this experience. I was helped by many people and I could feel the strong bonds of friendship of extension students from this experience. I hope we could tell Ninja to people clearly. After the presentation, a little girl with her mother came to me and said "I love Ninja!!". I was very happy to hear that and I thought WE DID IT!!!!!
