I went to the abroad to Hawaii after graduate high school. The reason why I decided to go to abroad to Hawaii is I wanted to study genuine English, not in Japan. Moreover, the school where I went to abroad called Hawaii Tokai International College(HTIC) is the place I went to there before because a language training camp at there when I was in high school.

At first, I could not communicate with local people in Hawaii even school teacher. I had a little bit confidence about my English skills, particularly speaking. But the local people used English that I don’t know grammar in spite of easy words they used, so I could not catch what they said at all. I hesitated many times when I speak English on that condition. At finally, I became to speak only with Japanese student unconsciously.

The turning point came suddenly. I found a recruitment of roommate when I saw a bulletin board at elevator. According the bulletin, the roommates come from local high student. I wanted to change myself from the way to negative to speak English. So, I decided to apply to the roommate. My roommate was about thirty and he has a many occupations like radio‘s DJ, computer consultant and sports instructor. He was pretty talkative and his speak is so fast. But I tried to understand what he says because I wanted to not come back to the negative me.

After three month, as a result of my effort, I accustomed life in Hawaii gradually and I could speak English with local people. I made some fiends who play surfing and who play musical instruments like guitar, drum and piano. After school, I never failed to go outside and enjoyed talking and hangout. I changed myself from past me. The Hawaii was changed me. I will keep enjoying my life more than now, like Hawaii Time!(359words/2579words/2938words)
