My greatest successful time in Lincoln

Hello! I'm a University student in Japan. I used to be a student at Lincoln High School where I had the greatest and most successful time of all my life!

At the start, I was not very good at English. I didn't understand what people were saying. I could only pick up people saying 'Hello! How are you?' However, as time went by, I was able to talk to people, by studying harder.  I could even write essays and give some speeches in front of a huge number of people!

Of course, I didn't get to that point by myself, but a lot of kind and positive friends and teachers helped me very much. I would have not succeeded if I didn't have those great teachers! And of course my host family! So, I'd like to say, thank you very much for all your support!

All I can say about my great time in Lincoln is, there are heaps of possibilities and opportunities, even if you are international students or can not speak English well. As proof, I was Deputy Head of Arts Council! I was also involved in the school musical! It doesn't matter about your abilities, but depends on your enthusiasm and your will to open up your mind to everyone. That's how I did it!  EVERYONE can do it too!

I hope you all have a great time at Lincoln High School!
