INTERVIEW（２７）

What was the most memorable experience in your school life?
Use reasons and details to support your answer.


The most memorable experience in my school life was that one day when I was an eleventh grader,
I managed to go to school despite having a fever.
It was tough but I got two things in return.
Firstly, I was allowed to take a mass-marketed test in a sickbay,
where I could blow my nose loudly without annoying other students.
As a result, I took first place for the first and last time in my school life.
Secondly, on graduation day, I was given a prize for perfect attendance.
This prize became a kind of proof of my self-management abilities and
later, it allowed me to have an advantage in a Japanese teaching staff examination.
