Midterms!
Everyone’s facing a lot of anxiety right now at Koyamadai. For the last week or so, our students have been studying hard trying to prepare for their midterms this week, and now the moment of trial has come. I checked in with some students after their first day of testing to see how it was going, but with defeated voices they seemed sure of failure. Obviously they were being dramatic, and in spite of their fears, I think they will find all of their hard work and study has paid off.
I would also like to remind everyone to try and stay healthy when dealing with so much stress. If you aren’t feeling good, or want some advice, please stop by the healthcare room and talk with Miyata-sensei or Fujita-sensei. I had a chance to talk with them and they wanted me to remind all of our 1000 students that they are here for both your health and development. If you have the chance, you should stop by and say, “Hi,” they would love to see you.
I want to end by saying good luck and we believe in you. We are all excited to see you succeed at your tests so you can see that all of your hard work was worth it.
【訳】中間テスト
小山台では今皆落ち着かない気分でいます。この一週間というもの、生徒たちは今週の中間テストに向けて猛勉強してきました。そしていよいよ試験本番。試験第一日の放課後、何人かの生徒に話を聞きましたが、うまくいかなかったと残念そうに報告してくれました。それは少し大げさだと思いますし、不安に思ってはいてもやっただけの成果は出ていると思います。
ストレスにさらされているときには健康状態にまず気をつけてほしいと思います。気分がすぐれなかったり、話を聞いてほしいときには保健室に行って宮田先生や藤田先生と話をするといいと思います。お二人の先生方は、生徒たちの健康増進のために自分たちがここにいるのだということを、約1000名の全校生徒に是非知らせてほしいとおっしゃっていました。機会があれば立ち寄ってみてはどうですか。お二人ともみなさんの顔を見ることを楽しみにしていらっしゃいますよ。
大丈夫、テストはうまくいきますよ。一生懸命やった成果がきっと出ると確信しています。
