Kenzie posted a picture from one of our last days in J4- I started to cry. I realized how much I care about the people in the class and how much I miss everyone who's not in J5, like Maho, Hiroshi and Megan. Everyone brought something. It doesn't feel right to do あいさつ without Megan screaming at the top of her lungs. I miss Maho's ever bemused expression as she tries not to laugh at our antics. I miss Hiroshi's never ending spout of internet memes and his declarations of "derp" at the most awkward of moments.
J4 was amazing, despite it's ups and downs. It was one of the best classes I've ever had, because of the bond between not only the students, but the students and their teacher as well. I still can't believe I passed- with an 83! I profusely thanked Sensei, but she waved it off, saying I earned it. But the only way that was possible was because Sensei let me come to her house over winter break. She's the only teacher that I've told of what happened to me and she's supported me all of the way.
I loved J4 and I'm determined to make J5 amazing.
