University of Canberra Graduation Ceremony
At 10th April 2014
I have concluded my university life at the Permanent House in the Capital city of Australia.
The best moment during the ceremony came when I was on the stage and being called my name.
The presenter who called my name was Dr. Gordon Waddington
He and his family members came across my life in Canberra so many times. I coached his son Ross at College when he was 15-18years old and Gordon's partner Kathy who was English teacher for my wife and myself a few years ago.
We had a great chat after graduation ceremony. Gordon families has helped me to survive during my living in Canberra. Thank you.
It has been a valuable experience being a student at this age.
There were so many friends from rugby back ground, class mates and teachers who helped me to dig deep into my study.
I can not say thank enough for these friends.
At the end, my family members including, wife Shoko, mother Kazumi, sister Chisato visited at ACT for this ceremony.
Thanks for them allowing me to challenge and pursue my dream.
Since we arrived at Canberra in 2006, we survived until 2013.
3 years of rugby playing career, 4 years of rugby coaching career, 2.5 years of Uni life, 1.5years with Brumbies and 3years with AIS.
We still felt that this is our second home but now we are in our original country "Japan".
Do what I need to do and go as hard as I can.
My life is still looking for a new challenge.
