 Hi, my name is Riho Nishimura. I'm from Toyama, JAPAN. Toyama has
very clean air and water... etc!! I'm living in Ormond Beach while on exchange
in Florida. Florida has very beautiful ocean and sky... etc!! I like especially
the sky in Florida!!! Because it is very very beautiful everyday!!
Everyone is very surprised when they hear my age. I say
that I'm 17 years old. And everyone says, "Really?? I thought you are about
12 years old!" I am one of the smallest in my school in JAPAN!! So I'm very
small and look very young.
My interests include playing clarinet and taking
pictures...etc!! I have band class in school in Florida. I play the clarinet
in band class. It is very difficult for me.
I'm attending Seabreeze High School. Everyone is very very
very kind! My teachers understand that I don't understand English. And one
teacher writes the words that he wants to say, because he knows that I read
English better than I listen to English, one teacher makes special papers
for me. The papers are written in Japanese and very useful! I have made
friends in school. They always help me when I don't know what I have to do.
I have a good time in School everyday!
I have a new family in Florida. Dad, Mom, sister and a
dog! I say that my host father is Jody Davis, and everyone says, "You are so
lucky! Because Jody and Cindy will become very good English teachers for
you!" In fact they are very great teachers, Dad and Mom!! My sister Jamie
always helps me when I have a problem. She is very reliable!!! And my dog
Manny is very very cute!! I LOVE THIS FAMILY!!! I'm happy to be here!!!
THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY THIS YEAR!!! I'M
VERY VERY VERY HAPPY TO BE HERE!!!! |
