1st for 4th in Japan

I'm so proud of my student, Sachi, for placing 4th in the highly prestigious all Japan Speech Contest. She's the first student in our school to reach that high in the contest and the first for me to take part in. So, I'm doubly happy. The contest sponsored by the royal family, is a big deal. I guess all those lunch hour and after-school tutoring sessions I shared with her paid off.

So proud. And such a great gal, too. She's going places, like another alumnus of our school, Crown Princess Masako.
