Seiritsu's American Soccer Guest- Caroline Militello
This month, Seiritsu had a welcome visitor to the school!
Caroline Militello, 17, is from Missouri, America. She is in the Missouri state soccer team and US Olympic development program. She is in Japan for two weeks with her Dad, and has come to Seiritsu to train with the girls soccer team!

Caroline was born in Japan and lived here until she was eleven years old, so she is “perapera” in Japanese, although she has not yet taken any examinations in it since going to the USA. She says her family returned to America when her eldest brother was approaching university age, and the parents decided that he should go to university in America. She still visits Japan every summer, to keep her Japanese level up, and to play soccer. Through her soccer, Caroline hopes to get a sports scholarship to a high-ranking university in America, such as Princeton.

According to Caroline, the way the Americans play soccer and the way the Japanese play soccer are quite different, so it has helped her to develop some new skills while she has been here. Seiritsu is glad to have her here, and hope she comes again soon!
