New Student: Eskild

Hello!

My name is Eskild a new Seiritsu international student. The name comes from Northern European mythology, and means golden helmet. I’m from Norway, and I’m 17 years old.


Where am I from?
I come from a small town in the countryside, with only 5000 inhabitants.
I walk for 20 minutes to get to school, and I study music. I'm still pretty bad at it though, since I’ve only been studying for one year.


What’s famous about my town and country?
My town isn't really famous for anything, but the area I live in is one of Norway’s biggest agricultural areas, which produces 1/5 of Norway’s wheat supplies. Norway is known for the Norwegian salmon, fjords, skiing, knitted clothes and a fairly good cheese.


What’s interesting about my school at home?
It’s a school where you can choose between 4 courses; Music, academic, sports or carpentry.


My hobbies:
My hobbies are music, and a bit of computer games. Otherwise I'm hoping to find something interesting while here in Japan.


How did I become interested in Japan?
I became interested in Japan about 4 years ago, when a friend of mine showed me some anime, in Japanese. I was so fascinated by the language that I started to watch anime almost every day just to hear the language, so instead of actually studying Japanese, I watched anime. So before I came to Japan I could not write or read anything(It's getting better though), but I understand some of what people say.


Why did I come to Japan?
I decided to come to Japan because I've been fascinated by Japanese music(Shamisen is so cool), anime, and of course the Japanese language. My image of Japan before I left is actually quite close to my first impression. Lot of people riding trains, a lot of people in a hurry, and a lot of vending machines.


How is Seiritsu different from my school in Norway?
Seiritsu is BIG. My school in Norway only has around 400-500 students, while Seiritsu has over 1200 students.


Clubs:
I would like to join a sports club, like baketball, volleyball, or some kind of martial arts club. I'm new to everything, so we’ll see what I’ll do.


What do I wish to accomplish or see while here in Japan?
I wish to learn Japanese as much as I can, then continue studies back home, in Norway, so that I can come back to Japan without being totally lost. And I want to see everything!


What will I do when I go home?
I am going to finish high school, and go to a university to study Japanese. I am also going to study for a teacher’s license.


What is my future dream?
My future dream is to become a teacher (to teach music, social studies and English). And I hope that I will be able to be a teacher in Japan.
