My family and I attended the in-person event for my daughter’s school. It was held at the bowling array. It was our very first time to attend this event. Last year we were planning to attend, but my late dad-in-law passed away right before the school event and we needed to cancel it.
There were many people in the venue. The school staff told us there would be more than 120 attendees. upon registration, the staff member assigned everybody to a certain lane. Each lane was assigned up to 6 players. We were assigned to the lane #4. We shared it with other family of three.
When we introduced to each other to the other family, I mentioned my name and my daughter’s name. they remembered our names right away, which is rare for Americans to easily remember and pronounce Japanese names. The three of the family were a grandma, a son, and a grandson. The grandma introduced herself as a half Japanese. That cleared my question. That was why they are familiar with Japanese names.
I was astonished with the fact. Before I left my house this morning, I prayed to meet a Japanese woman at this event venue. It naturally happened. We didn’t have enough time to play bowling and we were too busy to chat. I could not have time to get to know her. I wanted to become friends with her and possibly exchange phone numbers with her, but it didn’t happen. Still, I was very happy that my answer was heard.
We played two games. Even though it was a very first time for my daughter to play bowling, she did amazingly great. Her score was much better than mine. We all had a great time together.
