Hello everyone,

Well H3 students, do you remember what I said at the beginning of the year? I told you that each day would be long and difficult, but then you would look up and the year would be over in a flash. Well, that time has come… was I right?

Tomorrow you will celebrate your graduation from Shin-Ai. You will also be taking the first steps into a new chapter, armed with the strength, skills, and memories you have honed here. Before you do that, enjoy the time you have with your friends tomorrow. It is unlikely you will all be together at the same time again.

While this is an important milestone for you, it is also an important day for everyone who helped you get here. Your parents, your grandparents, your teachers, your seniors, and your club members. I hope that you understand your life is a group effort, and you are also part of the group that helps others succeed as well. Nobody gets here alone, so take the time tomorrow to say thanks.

April will come with big changes. I wish each and every one of you the best of luck. I am sure that with the efforts you have made here at Shin-Ai, the future is bright.
