Seizinshiki

January 12, There was "Seijinshiki". It was the ceremony for people who are twenty.

I got up at 5 o'clock am. I had to wear "Furisode" and make up. Hurisode is kimono. My color was red. I chose that with my mother. That was my favorite. I went to the beauty salon. I waited to wear the furisode, someone sat down next to me. I watched her, and found tha she was my friend in junior high school. She and I was very surprised! We said " Long time no see1". She goes to the college in Tokyo, so she doesn't come back to Kumamoto rarely.

We talked together for waiting. She will work at beauty salon in Tokyo. That was her dream. I was very glad to hear that. I want to do my best and to take the job like her. I heard about life of Tokyo, college, recently happened. I was very fun to talk with her. I didn't be bored. We finished wearing furisode and making up. It took for about three hours. It was very long! We said " See you, and let's meet at the hall". I went to my house, and went to the hall.

I arrived at the hall, there were a lot of people. I was very surprised. I found my friends, but it was very difficult. After a few minutes, I found. My friends was very beautiful! I met a lot of friends in junior high scool, high school and university. I took a lot of pictures with them. I was very happy to meet and talk with my friends. There were friends who went to universities out of Kumamoto, so I was very glad and I enjoyed talking.

After that, my friend and I went to Shimotouri to take "Purikura". We wanted to take it with wearing furisode. There were very long lines to take purikura. We waited for about 15minutes. But taking purikura was very fun and it became my tresure.

I went to the supermarket which I did a part time job. They looked glad to see me, and gave me the wine! I was very glad. But I can't drink wine. So I want to try drinking that. I like people who work here. I thanks to them very much.

I went home, and take the brake time. I was very tired. I changed the clothes to party dress.
Next was alumni association in junior high school in hotel. I made up again!

It was started at seven p.m. There were many students and teachers! I met them for first time in years. Friends looked mature, but teachers didn't change! I was very surprised at that. It was very nostalgic. One of my friend became mother! I was very surprised. The other friend was married! I was very glad. Some friends took jobs, and went to college, and so on. They walked their own way. I felt that we were really twenty and we started walking the first step of adult.

I had the good time with them. There were a lot of pictures. I was very glad to meet and talk with them. I love my friends in junior high school, I love my hometown. We promise to hold alumniassociation five years later.

I am very fun to think about five years later. I may married, or work without marrige. I want to married...I try! My friends may marrige! or have children! I am looking forward to meet them again. How change they will be. I want to be happy.

Seizinsiki was finished. I have to learn a lot of things more. Because, I am twenty!
I don't forget the heart to thanks for my parents, family, friends. And I want to be good adult.
