Hi there❗😃 Hope all of my friends have been doing all well this year as well, here and there !
I've been trying my best as ever, working as a full-time teacher at a junior high, and high school, also as a university student.✊
Here's what I have achieved this year, and I am working on now.
2025年も走り続けています! 相変わらずの教師&学生の日々です。今年取得できたものと今取り組んでいるものです。↗
【国家資格 National qualifications】
・甲種防火管理者 Fire Protection Manager (Type A)
・防災管理者 Disaster Protection Manager
→民間資格の防災士ではなく、国家資格に興味がありました。オンライン受講は良かったですが、カメラでずっと監視され、AIの音声を何時間も聞くのがとにかく苦痛でした。受付開始数秒で毎回予約が埋まる競争率で、それが一番大変でした。無事に取得出来て良かったです。防災は今後予測される南海トラフ地震の為の研修も職場であり、職場でも一目置かれるようになりました。👀
I was solely interested in national qualifications of these sorts, not private qualifications that do not hold much trust in society in my view. The hardest, and most painful for me was that I had to keep listening to AI's vouce for hours under being recorded by a camera as I was taking the self-paced online classes. I'm now indeed relieved to have been able to made it. There is a training for teachers at work for the major earthquake that's expected to occue in the near future, so thanks to these qualifications, I have been acknowledged ever since.🐶
【大学・英語関係 University, English】
・TESOL 40 修了証/certificate
・TESOL 120 修了証/cerficate (まもなく soon)
・中学2種英語教員免許1種上進用単位修得 Obtained credits to upgrade my Englsh teaching licence
+現在ハイチの大学の学士課程でオンラインで学んでいます。 Taking an online degree course at a university in Haiti.
→内容はその大学と提携のカナダの教育機関が提供しているので英語です。元々の計画は、日本の大学での単位修得後は、フランスにあるオンライン大学院で学ぶつもりでしたが、学費の為の貯金に時間がかかり、貯まるまでの間何かしたいと思っていてこちらになりました。ハイチの学費は月払いなのでギリギリ何とかなりそうです。
ちなみにTESOL Diplomaは以前の留学中にカナダのカレッジで取っていますが、大学のカリキュラムの一環なので必須です。何をするにしても学びになります。TESOL 120は職場の友人の協力が得られてビデオ課題が出来れば終了です。大学はMax2年で、1つ30-60分程のテストx125+5000-10000語の卒業論文なので気長に取り組みます。2か月で卒業論文の提出と60少しのテストは終わりましたが、仕事との並行はとても大変です。😖 引き続き全方向に頑張っていきます!
Now a student at a university in Haiti online, whose materials, and curriculum are offered by the Canadian institute in partner ship with it, so all is in English. I already have a diploma in TESOL that I attained when I was abroad, but it is part of the curriculum, but I can learn from anything anyways.
There are 125 tests, each of which takes 30 to 60minuts, plus a thesis that requires 5000 to 10000 words. In the past 2 months, I have managed to turn in the thesis, and finished 60 or so tests, but it will take time, and is truly hard for me to work on them working so long as a full-time teacher.
My initial plan was to proceed to taking an online MA course at a graduate school in France, but I could not save enough for it, so I chose this option until I have put aside enough, and also I can pay the fee for the Haitian university monthly, which I can somehow make it.😖 I will keep striving in all directions!

See these↑.🎵 Guess what, these are from my Christmas this year! Instead of a fancy, expensive whole cake, I bought this one called Taiyaki (fish-shaped Japanese cake/pancake filled with cream, traditionally bean paste though). It was about two dollars, and was not as cheap as I wanted, but I bought it for me!
In Japan, Christmas is a day for people to have Christmas cake and fried chickens. And the right on is, yes that again, expensive KFC, which I can never usually afford it, or choose it even when I can because there a lot cheaper options for fried chickens, such as frozen ones with soy sauce flavour called Karaage though. However I got a free coupon this time, so WHY NOT! Well, honestly, they were oily, and I did not find them as tasty as I had expected, but that was a good experience, and a gift for me! 🎁
クリスマスの日、ケーキは高いし余り食べないので、少し高いですが200円位のたい焼きをドラッグストアで買って食べました。右はまさかのKFC! 高いので自分で行くことはまずありませんが、何故行ったかと言うと、無料のクーポンをゲットしたからです。久々に600円分位のこれをいただきましたが、正直な所、かなり油っぽくて、余りおいしく感じられませんでした。しかし、タダだったのでありがたい限りです!良い経験でした。🎵
