What I consider to be the most memorable were the times I spend at ILA, both during class and after school. Personally I don’t want to call this place school, but rather a family. Sure learning isn’t always fun, but when the atmosphere is friendly and caring, I can’t help but to enjoy every minute I spend in the classroom. Still the best part is the after school. Sometimes my class would go out with the teachers for lunch, and afterwards karaoke. It was hilarious to see the teachers sing, not because they aren’t good, but because it was surprising feel so relax in front a sensei.

No wonder my eyes got wet when I said good bye. These are but a small recollection of my feelings and memories of this small town in the outskirt of Osaka. Though it might not be as packed and intense as Tokyo, I believe that I came to the right place to achieve my goals.
