First year in a new world
Congratulations to my daughter Emily on the completion of your Freshman year of high school. You’ve come so far, so fast, in a new world with a new language, culture and way of life. Both Japan and America are yours now and in the future. And I hope you’ll always have the courage to proceed with any dream, in any land, not n spite of the risks, but in full understanding and acceptance of both the consequence and wonder of choosing to live.
