たちばな先生

Hello, Tachibana sensei!

It feels so long since I've met you for the last time, but it has been only 2 or 3 weeks ^_^ When I think back, I never know that I would win something in the contest when you were talking about the prizes. I just thought I would try once, and no more of it. However, you supported me in every other aspects that I've never imagined and that encouraged me to try more than I originally intended, and put more efforts on the speech. I thought your directions that pointed out my accents and volume were just accurate. Without your support and guidance, everything would have been different! I know I did not win the 1st place because my Japanese was better than others (there were so many proficient kids). I think it is because of the delivery and the strategy that you've suggested and trained me with. I tried to realize all of that when I was up in front. I can't even find the appropriate word that can accurately depict my appreciation. I will never be able to forget your support, kindness, and passion that you generously poured upon me. Again, 本当にありがとうございました。!! ^_^

With Love,

アヴァリー
