 Hi! My name is Nathan. I am 12 years old and in 6th
grade. This is my first year living overseas, in Japan. I enjoy competitive swimming and golf. I live in
Tokyo with my parents and my two younger sisters. I enjoyed working on the South
Africa section of our website. I want to be a naval engineer or a stock
analyst when I grow up. |

Hi! My name is Nana, and I am 11 years old. I am in 6th grade and this is my
first year at ASIJ. I live in Tokyo with my brother and my parents, and my pet
chameleon. I have moved 9 times in my life, but spent the majority of my life
here in Japan.

 Hello, I'm Mary, a 14
year old currently residing in Tokyo, Japan. For
six years I
attended ACS in Surrey, England, and the rest I've spent at ASIJ. My
nationality is Japanese/American, and enjoy reading, drawing, and playing my
guitar. Working on the Doors to Diplomacy "Peace and Democracy" project has been
a great experience for me. Although it has been difficult, through it I've learned
much about peace and how it is achieved. |

 Hello,
my name is Yuhki. I am in eighth grade and am 14 years old. Having attended ASIJ
for six years, and also lived in Japan for 9 years of my life, I am well aware
of each country's culture. By moving to Manila for the 2003 school year, I
hope to be exposed to an entirely different culture and become an international
person.

 Hello, my name is Florence, an only
child. I'm 14 years old and my nationality is Japanese. My hobby is to read,
write and draw. My deepest interests are constellations, witchcraft, astronomy,
and Greek mythology. In the future, I plan to travel around the world to learn
all the different cultures and languages. |

 I'm
Mr. Fincher and I helped with the technical part. I didn't start out as a
teacher — I'm really an engineer who found himself in charge of a class of
students by accident in 1997 and I never looked back. I currently teach math to
sixth graders and also teach courses in programming, invention and engineering,
multimedia, and keyboarding to all the grades. (Note to principal: Fewer courses
next year, please.) Everybody was wonderful to work with, even during the
occasional sheer panics that happen during any project this large. In many ways,
our working together was like a flock of penguins, represented by this one
created by Suneil, learning to keep warm during the harsh Antarctic winters. |

 Kia
ora! (That means hello!) My name is Mrs. O'Connor-Palacios (or Mrs.
O'C-P
as the students call me). I teach two 6th grade combined Language
Arts/Social Studies classes, and an 8th grade Language Arts class. We are
a very diverse group with me being the only New Zealander on the team!
Like everyone else, I am constantly on the move, having lived in New Zealand,
England, Venezuela and now Japan. It has been my pleasure to work with
such a dedicated and talented team of students, and I want to thank them for
being the most creative, dedicated team ever. O.k., they paid me to say
that! |
