オープンキャンパスの受付

When she arrived early in the morning, the main gate was still closed, but a staff member was slowly opening the large gate.

In front of the gym, guidance desks had been lined up, and the materials had also been set out neatly.

The teacher gathered the students and said, 'Today, please speak in a way that is easy for visitors to understand.'

After putting on her name tag, Aya took the pamphlets out of the box and lined them up on the desk.

After a while, several parent-and-child groups gathered, and the inside of the venue gradually became lively.

At first, Aya got a little nervous because she was asked again and again, 'Where is the restroom?'

But a senior taught her, “When you do not know, do not force yourself to explain; please ask the teacher.”

After hearing those words, Aya stopped trying to do everything by herself and made a point of getting help from a senior nearby.

At the reception desk, there were also times when teachers had students guide visitors to the classrooms.

One mother asked, “Could you show me to the classroom?” and Aya replied, “I will show you the way.”

Later, a senior kindly explained that using a humbler form of “I will show you the way” would sound more polite.

By the time the noon information session began, the line at the entrance had become shorter, and the number of empty seats gradually increased.

After it ended, when she put away the desks they had used, the day that had felt long in the morning suddenly seemed short.

Aya felt that, because she was asked so many questions, she had become able to explain the school in her own words better than before.

Before leaving, the teacher said, 'You all worked hard today,' and gave the students cold tea to drink.
