Encounter with a life-changing teacher

When I was in elementary school, I was able to study. However, he was a (hyperactive) problem child who was always written as “uncoordinated” in the report card’s behavior column and was smoked by both his teacher and his classmates. Cleaning is just skipping, and I don’t do work such as day shifts. Even if I go on an excursion, I will act alone.

And if there is something that he doesn’t like, he immediately quarrels with him. Thanks to judo, I was confident in my skill. Moreover, it is impossible to lose in a quarrel. I was fighting with someone almost every day.

Why did you become such a problem child?

Maybe I was frustrated. To yourself and even to your environment.

But on the other hand, I was always awake somewhere. I had an indescribable sense of alienation, as if this wasn’t my place, I was separated from everyone.

For me, the first person to understand appears. It is Michiyo Hoshino, the homeroom teacher of the third grade of elementary school.

Mr. Hoshino was amused by all my cheeky, annoying, and clumsy parts. He also praised me for reading the encyclopedia.I also have an understanding person, and there are people who support me. I was happy with that alone.

And above all, what made the teacher different from other adults was that he didn’t say “fit everyone.” Rather, he taught me to further develop that individuality.

Professor Hoshino recommended that I go to a cram school called “Zenkyoken” in Kurume (a big city from Yame’s point of view). I tried hard to persuade my parents and started attending “Zenkyoken” from the 4th grade.

What would have happened to my life without Mr. Hoshino’s advice? Did he go to a local junior high school and spend his whole life in Yame? It’s not that life is good or bad, it’s something I can’t imagine right now.How important it is to meet peopleAs a result, the teacher also taught me that.

The person who was the first person to understand me and shed light on the dark road. I am definitely thanks to Professor Hoshino.

To “somewhere not here”
Take a step

Everything was shining in the city of Kurume, where the cram school is located.

There are department stores and movie theaters, from arcades to bowling alleys. Fashionable young people come and go, and the illuminations shine at night. Everything was different from the countryside of Yame.

The children who gathered at the cram school were all interesting. The cram school has a high level of lessons, and unlike elementary schools, there was no idea of ​​”let’s meet late children.” The child who can do it can move forward at his / her favorite speed. It’s very simple and rational.

Then, studying that was so boring became interesting, and I began to seek more difficult problems and newer tasks. One day at the cram school, you can take a break from judo, meet exciting friends, and eat delicious food. Moreover, studying becomes fun. Now that I know this world, I can’t go back to Yame’s life anymore.

I think I was bored with the unstimulated country town. He was keenly looking for going out into the city, absorbing a lot of stimuli, and meeting interesting friends.

By starting to attend “Zenkyoken”, I was able to escape from the days of being trapped in the mountains of Yame.I started walking towards something other than here. It must be a small step. However, he has taken a definite step.
