Hello, everyone!

This message is especially made for the 3rd graders here at Utajima JHS.

Friday is the big day - it's graduation day! You get to move on and venture into new and exciting opportunities! Although it was a short time, it was great to have known and met you! Honestly, you were great students and I really enjoyed the time teaching and spending fun times together!

As you move forward to the next stage of your life journey, I want to say a couple of things:

1) Everything can be achieved if you dedicate yourself and work hard for your goals.
2) Don't be afraid to make mistakes - learn from them and you will become a better person.

Congratulations! Hopefully, we will see each other again in the near future. If you see me, feel free to say hello (mainly because I have a terrible memory and I might not remember you since I have never taught at a school with so many students... :P )!

卒業おめでとうございます！
