He's a blackhorse
Everyone in our class agrees that Eslami is the ichiban omoshiroi gakusei that we will missed very much. We call the class as Eslami's twelve. These are (from left) Bun "Tanaka-san" Mi Laos, Jeane Thai, May Phillippines, Juan Romero Diaz Spain, Sabry Brunei, Maija Latvia, Lee Man Phillippines, Honorat "Mr. Perfect" Haiti, Tess Phillippines, Haider Bangladesh, Me and Eslami Iran.
One of our other friend is not in the picure, She is Irodah from Uzbekiztan. She didn't live here anymore.
Eslami is a good learner, though Honorat was much better than him in Grammar, and Jeane was the top scorer. Yet Eslami's spirit and enthusiasm in learning Nihon Go is increasing day by day. He like to try to talk even if the sentences he made is unbelievably laughable. He is the joke-maker. One of his favorite question is "Kore wa nan de?"
In the Sanehira sensei's presentation class, he surprised us by delivering 70% in Japanese about his country and his major. Even Maija complimented him "It was really kool! U re one of the rare people I know, that can talk INTERESTINGLY about any subject :)". No doubt about it. Additionally, he told us that he was the one that built the Milad Tower in Tehran, the fourth tallest tower in the world. He started the work when he was 23! So far he has translated two books into Persian.

Now that he can make himself as a useful person in his life in such a very young age, I now must struggle harder to my limit.
Yesterday was Monday, 9 february 2009
It was the final examination for みんなの日本語 (Minna no Nihon Go). It's very tough, or totemo taihen deshita, as we sighed it. The materials were taken from all parts of the book. It was harder than I thought since we were finished reading it for only 2 months, or practically in 25 days. However, the previous two preparations with the aid of Rani-sensei really helpful. I as confident at that time. Jishin ga aruku natta.
We came before Mizuno sensei, to arrange the seat row. As (you know ^_^) some students are becoming dependent on me. They wanted to learn from me. Which means learn during the test. They called me sensei, so that I would allow them to manipulate me. Somehow, these people turned me into what-they-called-as "tolerable student". How smooth.
Fortunately, well...unfortunate for these cheaters, Mizuno sensei smelled the plot and changed the seat order randomly. This is obviously predictable yet we surprised, whle laughing at ourselves. Because one of my Philippino friend Lee Man was being terorized by Mizuno sensei who starred at his work during the test, and made sound like "Cssshh!" As if he was just making a mistake. He was totally clueless and the sign really detoriated his focus.
The other friend from Bangladesh Haider, who saved his seat peacefully next to me, was being cursed by my Iranian friend Eslami because Haider get the perfect spot instead of himself. Luckily Haider put some pity on him and gave him some clues.
That day, Eslami for the second time was punished by the nature. He promised to quit cheating but somehow he asked for exception day, which is the examination day.

It is very good indeed to have joined in a group study. I, Haider (Bangladesh), Eslami (Iran), Lee Mann (Philippines), and a countryman Rani-sensei, rushed as the next day we are having the final Japanese test. We are receiving a great assistance from Rani. The thing that we regret is that we didn't start this method earlier.
Remember this, friends are not only giving you their hands, but also their heart. They are as precious as your life.

Yesterday I helped Haider, my friend from Bangladesh, to finish his presentation. Some people have heavier duty than us. It becomes our obligation to give a hand those who need for aid, eventhough they do not seek for it.
Remember this, we must put our symphaty above many things. Sometimes, it is the best thing you can give. Many times, it worth much more than money.

This afternoon Abi will face the final examination for Kanji, both reading and writing. It's about 250 characters with 2-4 combination each, approximately more than 500 words I must recognize. It feels so distressing knowing that I just started it like 3 months ago. On the other hand, I feel proud because compared to other university students, I have run faster. However, there's nothing to proud of the things that I don't really grab.
Some of my friends undergo this exam just to kill the time, others don't even bother so that they do nothing but cheating. I usually say, "I don't want to cheat, but someone (as I pointed at the ones) forces me to allow them cheating on me." Only those who are really serious will get both the good grade and the knowledge.
Remember this, my children, seek knowledge all over the world, as far as your dream can take you. While keeping honesty and sincerity.
