Graduation Day

March 16, 2005 or the 17th Year of the Heisei Period, 16th of March as it might be translated into Japanese, was the day of the graduation at Heguri Junior High School. School in Japan is only compulstory up until JHS their graduation in JHS is more like our graduation from high school. Over 90+% of Japanese students go on to high school (where they must apply to get into). This year's students were by far my favorite class! I'm going to miss them soo much. We've been through so much together and I think that I changed them in some ways and they've changed me. Ureshii, I'm happy.
