I was so excited to be able to attend my
first Japanese school festival! In America, we don’t have school festivals in
high school like in Japan. Sometimes towns will have fall festivals, but they
aren’t run by students. Festival food is very fun to eat. I enjoyed the
“takonashiyaki” because I like mochi and cheese better than octopus. It was
also great to see the club performances. Yaya and I do not get to see some of
the clubs that practice every day because they are always very busy. At the
school festival, I think everyone was very happy to see the results of each
student’s practice and preparation. I want to thank all of the students for doing
such a good job.
