On December 13, 40 Japanese students from Hamamatsu Kaiseikan High School, a private school near Mount Fuji, visited El Segundo High School. The stop was one of several on their tour through Southern California, including Disneyland and Santa Monica Pier. The visit was coordinated through Technical Visits International (TVi) and Robin Espinoza, ESHS Director of Student Activities. TVi assists international student groups in the planning and coordination of study tours and educational programs here in the U.S. The Japanese group was accompanied by their Assistant Principal, teacher, nurse and an American interpreter. After an initial tour of the campus, each Japanese student was paired 1:1 with an ASB student who took them to two classes followed by lunch in the high school cafeteria. It took very little time for the teenagers to warm up to each other despite the language barrier. The pairs used Google Translate to communicate at times. They laughed, played games, took pictures and shared social media account information to stay in touch! It was Like Us on Facebook a great day exchanging information about cultural, educational and social norms. As Robin Espinoza noted, “I’ve never seen my students so genuinely interested in a new friend and what they could learn from them and teach them. It was a very unique and special experience.” The Japanese students each had a gift for their student guide for the day and a hope that they remain in contact. As Maryclare Masocol, ASB Treasurer noted, “Having some understanding of the Japanese language, I was able to understand some of what our new Japanese friends were talking about. When I heard some of their side conversations, I was happy that I did not hear anything negative. And I’m so proud of my peers for being team players. ASB and non-ASB members alike were respectful and helpful. Everybody was nervous at first, but we got over that quickly because at the end of the day they are high school kids just like us who joke around, have hobbies, and are just curious about life and LA.” Provided by El Segundo Unified School District •
