Club activities

こんにちは!

Clubs are so much fun!

At my school in Spokane, joining a club is optional, and the clubs do not get advertised much, so I never joined one. But in Japan, almost everyone in my school  is required to join a club. The main exception to this is, the 3rd years (12th graders) are not required to join a club (probably because of getting ready for college). Other than this reason, I have had a hard time finding people who are not in a club.

Clubs are so much fun; I joined three!

1)けんどう (Kendo)

2)しょどう (Calligraphy)

3)American Football

I found out that once you join a club, you are pretty much signing up for 3 years, scary!

I was happy to hear, that in my High School, you can retire from club duties when you become a third year. I asked a class how many continued with a club as a third year and out of 40 people, 3 raised there hands. The 37 others who did not raise their hands, became proud members of the go home club.

I think it is nice of the school to give the third years a break. The break will lower the stress that comes with college entrance exams.

Thank you for reading:)
Good Bye
