Aya's Life in Boone, North Carolina

today, something happy happened to me on my way home. i was worried about my final essay for Gender and Sexuality class in CIE, because i hadn't finished it. i was going to finish it at school and ask somebody who is a native speaker. BUT CIE was kind of empty because international students already left school for their holidays, so i couldn't find any of my foreign friends. i could find some but they were not native speakers. on my way home, i was really worried about my essay like "how can i find someone who will proofread my paper before the due day?!" the due day is next Monday 1st period. then, i met taeko on a platform and talked about it. and we found a man on the same train as we were on and decided to ask him to proofread my paper. we both knew that he was going to get off the train at Osaka-ko because all foreigners get off there. so, we got off the train at Osaka-ko and ran to him, and i asked him to proofread it. then, he said ok and did it for me. what was happy to me was that he was trying hard to get to know what i wanna say on my paper though he didn't even know me. he was such a kind man!!! i couldn't believe it. i thought i was sooooo lucky that the man i spoke to was that man. and of course, i appreciate Taeko being with me while i was asking him. do you have any experience like this? is so, tell me!!
