I'm a Japanese housewife living in Japan. I'm in my 60's. I want to know daily lives in the world, so at first I'll tell my daily. What is your daily life?
My husband said
"Mieko, you know it? It's not usual thing in America, to put a circle on the right answer."
"What does it mean?"
My husband said "Teachers, they usually put place a check beside a wrong answer."
Yes, I sometimes place a check beside a wrong answer of elder students.
But younger students loves to get lots of circle. And when they get perfect score I usually put HANA-MARU (HANA means a flower, MARU means a circle).
My husband said "Exactly, I told them about "HANAMARU", but no one could image HANAMARU".
Can you understand "HANAMARU" on this photo?
But I sigh now, she is going to graduate the college, but --- . Is it "my" result to bring her up or spend our (including my husband) energy (including money) on her education? I know, it is too fast to seek the conclusion. She might be late bloomer. But for her future I think she is standing at an important point. Without thinking now I can't imagine the time when she reaches to her 50's.
Probably I must seek stabiliby too much.And even now I can't imagine when I reaches to my 50's. On a different meaning I'm struggling in my life.
The proverb says, Great talents mature late., I know, but it is necessary to add some words. Great talents mature late while you are seeking, learning, and acting.
Well, this weekend is TANABATA. I use the paper on which we write our wish as the sheet for word test of Junior high school students. And they hang them on the "tree" in front of the entrance hall, instead of SASA tree which I prepared for TANABATA.
My junior high school students are really sassy these days, but -- they are still kids.
