Yesterday, I was talking with one of my friends who belongs to the same volunteer club with me. He is a very serious and passionate guy with high consciousness of world poverty. He does part-time job, and spends most of his earning on traveling alone in countries such as India, Vietnam, Turkey, Egypt, and so on during Spring and Summer vacations. Even though he is younger than me, I really respect him.
He said he wanted to work for JICA, JETRO or that kind of organization supporting developing countries economiclly. I had heard their names, but didn't know in detail. I asked him how they get earnings, and he said it was from ODA. I knew ODA only by the name, and didn't know what actually it is.
I became ashamed.
I don't even know how they are working, let alone take some actions.
The same thing happened several weeks ago. During our media discussion, Miho and Aoi gave us presentations on current political issues. However, I could hardly follow the discussion, for I didn't know very much of the news. Aoi asked us for which party we would be, The Liberal Democratic Party, or The Democratic Party, but I didn't know their policies.
It must be a thing I should know, because I'm already an adult. I thought I lacked the consciousness as a member of this society of Japan. I have to commit myself more.
Today after school, I went to Aoi Shoten in Machida, and searched the shelves of sociology. I browsed through many books, and after about 6 hours, I bought four books: a reference of highschool subject,Gendaishakai, an economic book by Heizo Takenaka, a book by Masaru Sato, a famous diplomat and a writer, and Nihon no Ronten, a standard item.
Maybe I bought too many.
It 's my habit that I buy more books I can read. There are tens of books I'm not finished with in my room. It's not that I'm a diligent student. What is bad about me, I lack concentration, and easily burn out give up!
Anyway I'm now motivated, and I thank you very much for giving me the incentive, my frirends. I'm always brought up by you!
