Best Continuous Award – Bobby
We have studied Japanese together for six years. (Stuart has studied with me for four years. Tom has studied Japanese for three years. ) "Persistence is power."

I really appreciate all of my students and your parents’ cooperation with me.

I cannot see some of my students during summer. During your summer vacations, please sometime think of Japanese words and phrases which you have learned. I look forward to your coming back in September.

Some of my students continue Japanese lessons during the summer; I am sure that we will have fun with the lessons.

I have greatly enjoyed providing these lessons for the past six years and look forward to a long future of continuing to share Japanese language and culture with you all.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful summer vacation.
