The Worst Day in My Life

It is a little difficult for me decide which is the worst day in my life because I don’t have bad day so much. Perhaps I only forget the day. However I have one day which I don’t want to remember. It is when my dog died. I can’t forget the day and sight.


My dog’s name is Baku. Baku is same age to me. Ever since I can remember Baku always stays with me. Sometimes I bait Baku, and Baku also bites me. My brother always takes care of Baku. He loves Baku and after school he is sure to take a walk with his dog. I often follow them. Baku is my family member. Time is fast, and when I noticed the ten years had passed. Baku and me were ten years ago. Unfortunately, Baku got sick. I didn’t remember the sick’s name, but day by day Baku got weaker.


One summer day, when I came back to home, I found a box near the entrance. I felt strange and open the box, at the moment I realized all. In the box Baku was lying, but he never moves. He never laps my face or bite my hand. At the moment when I think so, I couldn’t stop weeping. I could not believe the fact, and my brother did, too. I had never seen my brother cries, but the day he cried loudly. I can’t forget the sight even now.


About ten years have passed from Baku’s death. No pet is in my house. However in my room and my hometown, there are pictures of Baku. Even if Baku had died he is our family. All member of my family are sure to think so.

My Memorable Day in My Life

It is a little hard for me to decide which day is the most memorable. I have many memorable day in my memory. Sometimes, I think memory is good things, but it is not always. There are some bad memorable days in life. And I will explain about sometimes good memory and sometimes bad memory of my high school life.


The bad memory began when I enter the Kagoshima central school. Kagoshima Central high school is third school in Kagoshima but some people always say this school is hell on earth. Then why I entered this school? Because I was always said that I couldn’t pass the entrance examination. I felt so disappointed and frustrated, and I decided to pass the test. Fortunately, I could pass. It is one of the memorable day. My parents and teacher were pleased with success in the examination. However, studying is very hard for me. The first class begins at 7:30 a.m. and I had to prepare for all lessons. After I back home, my head is full of so many home works.


In such a distressing every day, I have the only pleasure. It is club activity. I was a member of Kyudo club. There are 6 members. We were very good friends each other. After graduation, sometimes we promise to meet and talk in Kagoshima. During high school life, Kyudo is a emotional support for me. If I were not the member, I would leave school. I am so thankful for Kyudo club.


These two memorable days told me many good things. I can recognize the importance of making extra special effort. To accomplish something is a hard work, but after finished, it is essential treasure for me. Because I entered Kagoshima Central High School, I could be stronger than then. I want to make the most of this difficult and significant time.

What animal do you like best? I'm often asked this question in conversation. And in this situation I always answer “I like cats very much.” It is because there are new cat in my family. I want to introduce my favorite animal, cat named Siro.


Siro was a stray cat which lives near my house. At first, Siro often was afraid of us. When I opened the windows or doors, he ran away soon. However all members of my family like Siro because he has very cute eyes and face. And after three months passed, we began to give Siro some cat food. Siro is very honest, so soon Siro can be on good term with us. From then when we open the windows, Siro runs to us soon! In this way, the living life started.


I usually live in Kumamoto because of university life, so I can meet Siro only when I get back to Kagoshima. In this term my father and mother take care of Siro. While I am in Kumamoto, my father and mother became better friends with Siro. In my surprised, Siro started live in our house! Especially my father doesn’t like to enter animal his house, but it was my father that began to welcome Siro. My father is silent a little and impassive, but when he is with Siro, he always has smile. Sometimes, my father and Siro sleep together. My mother and I are happy to see their sleeping.


Why did we name Siro? Is he White cat? In fact, Siro is Black cat! At first we call him Kuro. However he doesn’t react. So we try to call him Siro, and he reacts. We were surprised, and we liked Siro more than then. My parents are living together. My brother and I are living in other places, so sometimes they might feel sad. I want Siro to encourage my parents.

My Treasures


I have two treasures. One is my family and the other is my musical instrument. I'm going to explain about my two treasures.


First, I love my family. Before I began living by myself, I don't like family. I have to back home on time, and if I am not punctual, I'm always scolded. During my high school life, I hoped to live alone in another prefecture. However, after starting school, I sometimes miss my family. I realized the importance of my family. In summer vacation or long holidays, I go back to Kagoshima. Sometimes, I don't like to live alone in Kumamoto because classes and part time jobs. But I can feel better when I see my family in Kagoshima. I rethink I have to keep going to the end. My family is the source of my energy.


Second, I explain my other treasure. It's Mandolin cello. Cello is the symbol of my university life. To buy this treasure was a little hard for me, but I couldn't give up. My cello is also the symbol of my effort. When I was freshman and sophomore, I spend my all time to play cello. At a result, I lost some credits. One of them is this writing credit!! However! At last I've advanced to junior. I have to think about not only another credits but also employment. I would like to stop thinking only mandolin cello.


It is good to value own treasures, but it's not all. Time is money. I must value my remaining time. Before starting new school time, I set the year's target.
Spring Term: TOEIC 600 score and Kanji Kentei second class
Spring Vacation: MOS
Autumn Term: The skill test of PC third class.
I will do my best for this new target!!
