What kind of school did you go to as a child?/ Who was your favorite teacher?

When I was younger I went to an International school, so instead of speaking Japanese like most people in public schools, I had to speak English and I felt very embarrassed doing this. There was one teacher, whose name I can´t remember now, helped to improve my English and she helped me so much that actually I ended up skipping kindergarten altogether and went straight into junior school/first grade.


Did you enjoy your time in school? Would you say you were a good student?

I didn't enjoy my time in school and I found it very challenging because I had to speak in Japanese all the time. I wouldn´t say that I was a good student as I was always falling asleep in class because the school schedule was so hectic. A lot of teachers just let me sleep though which was really nice of them.


Do you enjoy studying alone or with friends? What are the advantages and disadvantages of studying in a group?

I used to enjoy studying with my friends more, I had a lot of friends through my baseball club but it´s the complete opposite now and I prefer studying alone because my friends just keep talking and I don´t like it. There are advantages and disadvantages to both when you study with people, you can ask them questions and they can help you solve the problem, but like I said, there is a lot of talking and you can lose concentration very easily/quickly.
