KARYO WEEKLY
KIITOS KAIKILLE
Hi, everyone! I’m Essi Pajari, an
exchange student at Karyo. It’s been
almost a year since I came to Japan.
That means I have to go back to
Finland in just a couple of days. I had
an amazing year here, thanks to all of
you. I made so many wonderful
memories, which I will definitely
treasure for the rest of my life.
When I first came to Karyo, I felt
super nervous. I was not so good at
speaking Japanese, and I knew
nothing about Japanese high school
life. Everyone at Karyo was so friendly
and helped me a lot, so I felt relieved
soon. Thank you very much!
There are a lot of things that made
me love the school life at Karyo. Some
small things always made me happy.
For example, I love greeting each
other, talking while cleaning the
school, and putting our desks together
before eating lunch. The list just goes
on and on.
I also enjoyed all of your school
events. Class matches were always so
much fun. While we were working
hard as a class, I made many good
memories and really felt part of the
class.
Another school event which I
really loved was the school festival.
Because we don’t have school

festivals in Finland, I was so excited.
Sports day, culture day and festival
day were 3 days full of happiness. I
enjoyed all of the performances,
different ways to decorate classrooms,
songs that all of the classes sang,
baking with the cooking club, and so
many other things. In other words,
the school festival made me realize
how much I love Karyo.
I also went to Taiwan with the 2nd
year students. Even though I was
nervous at first, all of the 2nd year
students were so friendly and talked a
lot with me. That is why I think we had
a great time together. I’m very happy
that I was able to become friends and
make many good memories with
them.
I am so grateful for the
opportunity to become an exchange
student at Karyo. I can’t imagine
better school than Karyo. That is how
much I love it here.
I feel so sad to leave Japan and go
back to Finland. I’m going to miss
everyone and everything.
Let’s stay positive and think that
we have to be far apart to meet again.
I’m looking forward to meeting
you again. Thank you very much.
