My most precious experience is belonged to basketball club from elementary school to high school. I belonged to basketball club about 9 years. It means I played basketball almost half years. When I was an elementary school student, I just joined basketball club with my friend. However, I realized that basketball is very exciting sport and interesting. Practicing was hard, but it was very excited and fun time for me. Basketball is a team sport, so we had to cooperate with each other. I learned about importance of effort, cooperation and endurance from this experience. Usually, there are only fifteen people to get the chance to play basketball at the regular-season game. As everyone knows, only five people can play game with another team. Therefore, all my team mates and I made effort to get the chance to play basketball at regular-season game. If I couldn’t get the chance to play basketball at regular-season game, this process was not waste and making effort with each other is good to improve skill and practicing quality. In my case, I got almost all chance to play basketball at the regular-season game when I was an elementary school and junior high school student. However, sometimes I couldn’t get the chance when I was a high school student. It was very regrettable thing for me, but I could do my best for everything for basketball club. Also, I learned pleasure when my team won even though when I couldn’t get the chance to play at regular-season game. To win is very pleasure thing for everything. I made effort to improve my skill, getting the chance and to win with every team mates from elementary school to high school, so when we were won, I was very excited and happy. Moreover, I could share the happiness and pleasure with all team mates through hard practicing. All my team mates were very important for me, because we had a same goal and spent long time. Therefore, me most precious experience is belonged to basketball club about 9 years and learned many thing through joined the basketball club.

Hi, everyone! How is your weekend?
Satsuki, I also belonged to basketball club for 5 years, from the 2nd grade of Jr. high School to the 3rd grade high school so have a similar experience to yours. The experience is absolutely one of my precious experiences, but school festivals at the high school were more important for me. Because of these experiences of school festivals, I am here now. When I was a 2nd grade student of high school, I made a short film, approximately 20 minutes long, and showed it. The work was so much fun for me, and the movie was prized the best performance in the year. I was very satisfied at the time. A year later, my classmates and I performed the musical “Lion King” in the school festival. I produced almost all things like writing a script, making stage sets and items, sowing costumes, etc. I joined every working time and every practicing day. It very hard but I was interested. The musical was prized the best performance, too. After that, I got little bit confidence and decided to try to get a job of entertainment in the future because I thought there was no job that thinking about only fun is job without the entertainment industry. Now, I am in the United State to study about making films although I haven’t studied movies yet, actually. But I promise you I will never give up achieving a dream that I have had since a 18 years old. Therefore, as I get close to my dream, becoming a movie producer, the experiences of high school festivals get more important for me.

The campus life in my undergraduate degree was the most precious experience I’ve ever had. First, I can escape the home to live in other city by myself. Before I entered the university, I have been lived my home country for 18 years. Therefore, when I got the acceptance letter from Providence University, I was so excited because I would like to move away from home and lived alone. In my childhood, my parents were strict with me. For instance, my parents always forbid me to go out and surf the internet in the evening. They want me to see more reference books to gain the knowledge in any fields. So, I had no freedom to do something I like. Therefore, I would like to move into the dorm to escape the home. Second, I have night life in my campus life. I was able to dine out with my friend anytime. Furthermore, I participant in the entertainment activities in the midnight such as Karaoke, night market as well as bar and so on. For example, when my friend’s birthday was coming up, we always choose the place of karaoke to celebrate this event because this place proves the exciting atmosphere to sing a birthday song and chatting with my friends. In addition, this facility services the great gastronomy for free. Third, the most important experience is to build the friendship. Friend play important role in my university life because I do some crazy thing with my classmate. For instance, in the summer vacation, we planned to ride the motorcycle to travel around Taiwan. We met a lot of local people during that time. I remember that we don’t have too much budget to live in the hotel. Therefore, we rent the tent to sleep in the national park. In contrary, in the winter vacation, we planned to explore the aboriginal areas because we took the cause called the “outdoor recreation activity”. The criterion of pass this course was to discover the tribe and savor the cuisine so as to hand in the final report to professor. Both of activities were excellent memory to bond of our friendship. In short, the bachelor degree was the most precious experience in my life because I can live without worries and do everything I want. In addition, the academic life is freedom and colorful. Nowadays, I still have had vivid memories in my university life. It was the most awesome experience I’ve ever had.

My most precious experience in my life is my high school life because I could learn two important things: the difficulty to go together of study and play and the importance to act on my own accord. First, I could learn the difficulty to go together of study and play when I was a high school student. I belonged to sport club at that time. It was first time to belong to sport club, so practicing every day was very hard for me. I had to practice for 4 hours every day, so I usually slept after practice. Therefore, I did not have time to study a lot, and my grade failed immediately. I was disappointed when I saw my grade, so I regretted I had not study a lot. Through this experience, I learned I had to decide the most important thing I have to do at first because if I cannot do the most important thing, I will be disappointed again. It was so hard going together of study and practice, but I did my best. I will decide the most important thing at first, and try to do my best from now on. Second reason why my high school life is my most precious experience in my life is I learned the importance to act on my own accord. I was doing what my teachers told me to do so when I was junior high school student. But my high school’s policy was to leave students alone, so I had a lot of free time. Therefore, students could play or study a lot if they wanted. However, I did not study a lot, so I regretted it when I realized that. From then, I learned I should spend a lot of time to study. I learned two most important things for me when I was high school student. I think I could realize because I regretted a lot. I do not know whether I can do it now, but I remember the experiences all the time.

Hi everyone. The most precious experience I had last year when I stated abroad. In my country every time cooking, washing every things did my mom, and I was like just studied, trained, and relaxed before last year. Then in 2010 I went to UAE to study their. Starting from the first day it was like the hard time for me you don't know nobody and you can't play or do what do you want. You are not with your family, with your friends, and it was the hardest time in my life because I started to cook, I started to wash I started to think about life as adult people do. I never did this things before. For that reason this was hard for me and I never was out from my country. I never was far from my parents, relatives, friends and the first hard reason was to be far from my family, relatives, and friends which every day I spent my time with them. Of course to miss my family was in the first because I love them a lot and I don't know what I will do if they are not helping me to step right. If I will not understand something the first, my parents will advice me and they are showing me right from wrong. And why its the most precious experience in my life because I started to respect my parents more than before and how they are important for me and how I love them.

Hi everyone. My precious experience is film making with my extremely great friends during my college days in Japan. We had made a lot of films so far, and then we sometimes made NHK's News show, one of the famous TV stations in Japan. We, 25 people, belonged the same film making seminar.However, we were divided ourself at random into 5 groups when we were filming because we always competed with each other.(Judgement was our profferer.) This rule made my personality plentiful, and I learned quite important things. 
To begin with, I could have a high motivation when I competed films with rivals. Everyone don't want to be looser; therefore, we seriously tried filming so hard. Above all, first filming was super busy because we didn't know how to make films and didn't have experiences. Therefore, I couldn't sleep 3 days at all at that time. However, I could stand it because I wanted to be No.1. Unfortunately, our team couldn't be no.1; moreover, we were the least among groups. At that time, thanks to no.5, I seriously thought about that I didn't have the gift of filming, so I should quit filming. Nevertheless, I didn't do that. I just tried more hard. It was like 17 hour-sleep per a week. I was going crazy, but thanks to enormous effort, we could be no.1. Then, I was amazingly happy and felt great sense of achievement I've never experienced. I learned how important an effort is and how wonderful a sense of achievement is. After that, I got a lot of skills and knowledge about filming. 
Furthermore, I could get super wonderful friends. I didn't have good relationship with my friends during the first time we were filming. We, every second, fought with each other in the same team over the taste of our film. Every one has a different liking and taste, but we had to make one our movie, and it was so difficult. All of us got the feeling that "I want to kill them," and when we got no.5 prize form our profferer, I wondered we start fighting as terrible as war. However, we, little by little, grew up and knew other people's liking or taste of films. As a result, a good relationship with friends gave our team the no.1 prize. I also learned how beneficial and important teamwork is.
My experience of film making reminds me of extremely super hard and busy college days in terms of hardwork and friendship, but I could get much more valuable things and friend than ever.
