エージェントなしでアメリカ留学を実現した長女の日記と母の想い.14
長女の日記にもある通り、彼女のインスタ日記も50日を越えました🎉折り返しを過ぎてエンディングに向かっている、そんなところです。すっかりアメリカの生活に慣れ切った長女。日本に帰ることを考えると暗くなってしまうと話しております💦その気持ち、とっても分かるんだなぁ…。なぜなら、若かりし頃サンディエゴに語学留学した私も、終わりが近くになるにつれて、どうにか居残れないものかと悩んだから…。そして最終日を終え、泣く泣く日本に戻ってからの暫くの間は、とにかくサンディエゴ生活が恋しくて恋しくて…。国際電話カードを使って、公衆電話からサンディエゴの友達に、泣きながら電話していたことを思い出します。友達という友達もおらず、休みの日は一人でウロウロすることが多かったというのに、あの頃はあんなにアメリカに居たかったんだなぁ…私。と、いろいろとサンディエゴに思いを馳せているうちに思い出しました！そう言えば、私自身もエージェント無しで語学留学していたことを😳（しかも30年ほど前に💦）あの頃はインターネットやEmailなんてものは一般家庭に普及していなかったから、辞書をひいてFAXでサンディエゴの語学学校に自分でコンタクトを取り（ほとんど英語ができない時期でした）、アメリカまで飛んで着いたら、紹介されたホストマザーが空港で待ってくれてるんだろうな。と、ホストマザーの電話番号1つを頼りに単身渡米。今思えばよー行ったし、親もよく飛ばしてくれたもんだ😅思えばあの頃から、どうにかなるもんだ。とメンタルが逞しくなったと思います。若い頃の苦労は背負ってでもしろって、きっとこういう事を言うんだろうな。🥯🩷Day forty nine🩷🥯TGIF!Today was a great day!LA, we continued BAC and wrote summaries for the new chapter.In art, since I already finished my art piece, I spent my time doing homework for other classes and looking around at other people’s art projects.
