The "one-half coming-of-age ceremony" that brought tears to my eyes.

Recently at Hiroo and Harumi."One-Half Coming of Age Ceremony."was held.

After the children's speeches were over, their mothers read letters to the children, and I couldn't stop crying because I was so moved by their thoughts.

Ten years after their birth, each family truly has its own drama. Hearing the mother's thoughts and feelings directly from her, the children were also moved to tears.

Why GLI continues its "one-half coming of age ceremony"?

We are in an era in which it is increasingly difficult to know what is right and what to believe.

Even in a future that is impossible to predict or understand, the only universal thing, theParental love and family tiesIt is.

As AI and robots become more and more integrated into our daily lives, what will become increasingly important is "humanity. It can also be translated as the richness and strength of the heart.

Ten years from now, it will be the coming-of-age ceremony. Five years from now, they will be working in society.

Work is the act of doing something for someone, whether directly or indirectly. It is to solve someone's problems or to create something that would be useful if it were more convenient.

What is important for 10-year-old children when they turn 25 is to have a mind to notice someone else's problems and to be considerate of their convenience.

No matter how well you speak English or how logically you can think, you must first have a rich heart and realize that.

In addition, numerous difficulties await us in society. This will be even more so in the future.

Whether or not you can overcome the difficulties at that time still depends on the strength of your heart, and I have no doubt that the foundation of that strength is the love of your parents.

Japanese people are not good at conveying their feelings even to family members. I wish Japanese people could communicate their feelings more on a daily basis.

I would like to reiterate that the Global Learner in the name of GLI is a person with a rich and strong mind on a foundation of skills and knowledge.

We are the ones who are hosting the meeting, and we are truly healed by the wonderful impressions we have received.
Banzai for parents and children!
