　I think Boeing Higher Education Program was a very successful program for Urawa High school and Urawa Ichijo High school to do together from my experience. I joined this program because of 3 reasons: finding new people, Udon’s information, and a connection between Urako and Ichijo.
　First, I wanted to find new people who are interested in English. I have just gotten back from America and I wanted to keep my English skill that I gained while I was in America. So to make this happen I thought I needed friends who were interested in English and this connection can lead to an improvement for both of our English skills. I didn’t know many people from other classes so I thought this program was a great opportunity. When I went to Ichijo, there were many people from Urako that I didn’t know and I was both excited and surprised to see many people with the same interest. I made sure to talk with them and I became good friends with a couple of them.
　Second, I wanted to know a lot of things about Udon from this program. I wasn’t in Japan for 5 years and this caused me not to be able to touch with a Japanese culture. So when I heard we had to make a presentation about a certain Udon, I felt very happy inside my heart. I was surprised to hear many kinds of Udon that exists. I learned a lot of new things like when Udon was imported to Japan, or how to make Udon. I also gained more information when everyone was presenting what they had researched on. I didn’t realize how much I didn’t know about Udon!! I also learned how to make Udon and it was a lot of fun making them with everyone. The Udon which we made was filled with the effort that we put in and it was delicious.
　Lastly, I wanted to have a connection with Ichijo students. In our class, we had a group between 1-5 and their 1-5, but the group has been deleted and we didn’t have a connection between each other. We will work on something together with Ichijo in the near future, so I thought I needed a connection between us. So I talked with the girls that were in my Udon making group and I got the connection between one of them.
In conclusion, this program was a big step for me in a lot of ways. This experience will be a good use in the future and things that I learned from this can lead my high school life in a better way. I hope to join this program again next year. Thank you for holding this program between Urako and Ichijo.

　私は、この夏の経験から県立浦和高校と県立浦和第一女子高校が一緒に第３回ボーイングプログラムをやったのは成功だと思います。私がこのプログラムに入ろうと思った理由は、新しい友達を見つけるため、うどんについての情報、あと浦高と一女の関係を持つための３つです。
　まず一つ目の理由として英語に興味を持った人を見つけたいなと思ったからです。私は、アメリカから帰ってきたばかりでアメリカで得た英語力を失いたくないと思いました。一女に行ったときに英語に興味に興味を持っている子がたくさんいて話して数人とは仲良くなりました。
　次に、うどんについてこのプログラムから学びたいと思いました。日本に５年間いなかったことから、日本の文化に触れることが少なくなってしまいました。発表の準備やほかの人が発表しているときにたくさんのことを学び、自分がどれだけ知らなかったかを思い知りました。自分たちで作ったうどんはおいしく、努力し手よかったなと思いました。
　最後に、私は一女と少しでもいいから関わりを持ちたいなと思いました。このプログラムによってうどん作りで同じグループだった人と仲良くなり、メールアドレスも交換しました。
　結果的にこのプログラムにより得たものはたくさんあり、これらは自分の高校生活をいい方向へ持って行ってくれると思います。またプログラム参加したいと思っています。この機会を作っていただいてありがとうございました。
