There were a lot of people at the JFA Academy Fukushima's enrollment ceremony. Listening to what attendants and seniors said, I felt the importance of being grateful to many people. I will never forget feelings of gratitude towards people who will be associated with me. And I will do my best in order to achieve my dream at JFA Academy Fukushima.

The most important thing that I have learnt attending the enrollment ceremony, is that everyone should act with responsibility. So, I will always try to act with responsibility during activities at the academy. After the ceremony we started training. Through the mini game I felt the importance of communication. I will do my best, being proactive in communication with teammates.

I was a little nervous at the enrollment ceremony because there were a lot of people. But academy's seniors welcomed us with big applause and I felt very happy for it. Listening to seniors' speeches of welcome, I made up my mind to make more efforts. Concerning football, I will try to play without injuries. And I will also continue to study hard. I will do my best everyday in order to achieve my dream.

Attending the enrollment ceremony, I once again made up my mind to do my best in my life at JFA Academy Fukushima. There are many friendly and reliable seniors, so I will ask them advice if I will not understand something or if I will feel anxious. Here in JFA Academy Fukushima, I will do my best not only in football but also in study. I hope I could be successful at both football and study. My dream is to receive many offers from professional teams and universities in future. I will do my best in order to achieve this dream.
