先生から次のメッセージが届いています。

Hello! A pleasure to meet you! My Name is Carlos Arbaiza. I am from Lima, the capital city of Peru, a country in the heart of South America. Peru is famous for having Machu Picchu, one of the new Seven Wonders of the World. Also, it´s well known for its natural diversity and spectacular food, and for being the core of the Inca empire in the past.

I am an educator and I have been working as a teacher, lecturer, and therapist in schools and universities for more than 15 years. I came a year ago to Okayama, to get my Ph.D. (Doctor) degree in Social Psychology and I am working hard on it at Okayama University.

I had the great chance to come to Amaki High School six months ago, and I am very happy to be here. My role is to help students to communicate in English more, especially when they want to elaborate and present their Science Projects. So far, we are doing good, and I am impressed with how smart and diligent many students are here. I would like to encourage you to challenge yourself always. There are plenty of beautiful things to discover in this life, so be brave and go after them! Life is not easy, but with some confidence, humbleness, willpower, and with the support of our beloved ones, there is nothing that can stop us. So, let’s go for it, and don’t forget to be grateful and support other people in your way. If you need something, just let me know, I would love to support you and help you in any matter as well.
