Person I Admire

There are a lot of active Japanese sports people all over the world. They are baseball players, soccer players, golf players, and competitive swimmers. I want to speak of baseball player Ichiro Suzuki this time.

A person I respect is Ichiro Suzuki. He is a Japanese baseball player and represents Japan, and he is a hardworking person. He was born on October 22, 1973 in Aichi Prefecture. He belonged to the Japanese professional baseball in 1991.  He debuted on July 11 the next year, 1992. First, he was not expected because he was fourth in the draft. But, he became one army for the first time in 1994. His activity was terrific. He played baseball well in the Japanese professional for nine years. He made a certain decision in 2001. He challenged Major League in the United States. He is taking an active part also in the United States, and he has been achieving continuous 200 safe hits for ten years. Such activity is joyous news for the Japanese.

 As you can see, I want him to take an active part in the future.

About My Day

My days are busy and tiring, because I’m a university student. So there are a lot of studies every day, but there are a lot of is interesting things, too. For example, I talk with friends every day. I feel happy doing small things.

I wake up at 8:30 a.m. every morning. Then, I go to school at 9:00 a.m. on Monday to Saturday. I start studying from 9:20 to 12:30 at school. Afterwards, I eat lunch at the school cafeteria. Afternoon classes are from 13:20 to 16:30. Next, I return home. Afterwards, I have free time until the time of dinner. I eat dinner at 20:00. Afterwards, I take a bath, and I do homework from 23:00 to 0:00. Finally, I go to bed at 1:00.

As you can see, my days are busy so I want to have more holidays.

About Suicide

There are several causes of suicide. First, in Japan, there is a suicide of 30,000 people a year. But, it is actually said to double that. Recently, minor's suicide has increased, too.

What is suicide? It is killing oneself. There are some causes of suicide. One example is when someone gets a fatal disease such as HIV, or another sickness. But recently, the medical treatment has advanced. Next, another cause is the problem of economic recession. It is assumed that Lehman shock is a cause. So there is a student job scarcity and dismissal from the company, because of a worldwide recession. Next, bullying is a cause that comes from the bad character of some people.

As you can see, suicide is an important social issue. In the near future, I pray that news of suicide doesn’t appear in the media.
