Seiritsu School celebrates Maya Doko
Japan Under-20 Soccer athlete and Seiritsu High School 1st year Maya Doko was celebrated by this morning in a brief presentation in the school courtyard. The entire school assembled at 8:30, and applauded Doko and her "Young Nadeshiko" team mates for placing third in the FIFA Under 20 girls' World Cup, held in Tokyo.
Doko talked briefly about her experiences, and how being a Seiritsu athlete has helped her onto the national team. She then answered some questions from the school's student council about how she felt about playing for Japan. She said was nervous, but of course she gave it her all!
The school principal Fukuda Kocho then gave a small speech, again congratulating Doko and wishing her well for her next national duties.
Well done Maya Doko, we hope to see much more of you in the future!
