In Their Own Words. . .

 

On the new building: “I like the new building because it gives me knowledge.  The old school building had no walls, so I like this one better.”

 
On school subjects: “I like mathematics because I am good at that subject.  I don’t like applied science because I do not understand it.”

 
On her hobbies: “I like going to the fields with my mother in my free time.  When I meet my friends, we read and study.”

 
On her future:  “I want to be a teacher so that I can teach the future students.”

 
Message for the Nippon Foundation: “I thank the Nippon Foundation for this school building.”
