My Extra-Curricular Activities

Today, I would like to talk about my extra-curricular activities. I was in brass band club in junior high school and high school. I love musical instruments. My favorite musical instrument is the horn. My conductor was very strict with the students but fair. He made me strong and I learned a lot of things from him. I was very selfish before I met him, But I learned that it is important to compromise with other musicians in the band. I had a great experienced. My conductor was so strict that I wanted to quit the band. But my friends encouraged me. I am proud of having such good friends.

When I passed the entrance examination for Mukogawa University and decided to go there, I was going to join the brass band, but when I listened to their performance I wasn't attracted by it. Instead, I was attracted by the baton twirling club at this university. I was impressed by their dancing! and I started to be interested in baton and dance. That why I decided to join this club because I wanted to be like them. Now, I respect the other dancers and baton twirlers. I must practice dancing and twirling baton so hard because I would like to get better.

Sometimes I miss playing in the brass band when I listen classic music. I love classic music. I would like to play a musical instrument again. But I don't have an opportunity to do that here. I am so sad, but my college club friends are very precious to me. I thought it would be difficult to continue to participate in the club and study. To be frank with you, I have thought about quitting in order to study more . But now, I don't think I will , thanks to my friends. They make me grow up all the time!! It was just an accident that we met, but I think it has been very necessary for me. I am such a lucky girl !! Thank you.
