I came from Japan to study English in the ESL course at St. Norbert College. I have had a wonderful time since I came here in August. One of the most memorable events recently was the Coming of Age Ceremony. In Japan, the ceremony is held for new adults to cerebrate and be conscious of becoming adults. There are many definitions of adult, but in Japan, people who became or is going to be twenty will attend the ceremony as new adults in their own hometown. The ceremony is carried out in a solemn atmosphere, and then, they go to a casual party. In the party, they can meet their old friends, and teachers again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some Japanese students who were supposed to attend the events including me, and it was unfortunate that we couldn\u2019t attend. Therefore, our teachers and tutoring student held the ceremony that imitated an original one for us. In general, men wear the dark blue or gray suit, and women wear the Japanese traditional clothing and hair ornament in their hair. Of course, we don\u2019t have such clothing or ornament here, however, they gave us a workshop to make hair ornaments, so we could make our own ornament. We dressed up for the ceremony and wore the ornaments in our hair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the ceremony, some teachers gave us a speech, and we all presented our own speeches. After the ceremony, we had conversation with friends while eating pizza and sushi. Thanks to our teachers and tutoring student, we could enjoy the ceremony, and it reminded me to take &nbsp;responsibility for my behavior as an adult. In addition, I felt I should appreciate people who always help me. The coming of age ceremony is important event for us, however, we could attend a more special Coming of Age Ceremony in U.S.! We appreciate our teachers and tutoring students for holding such a great ceremony for us. I will never forget this ceremony. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, I\u2019m Hinako. I came from Japan to study English in the ESL course at St. Norbert College.
