Home Town

Do you have a hometown which you are longing for? The word, hometown is sounds good. It is important place for everyone to remember a beautiful past. A lot of people come home, when they were tired. I have lived in Kumamoto almost all my life. My friends came to town when they had entered them university. I think that it is hard to be used to living alone. The nights make me sad because it is so silent. I can see my family if I open the door. Hometown has such a relief. My friend often told me “I want to back home”. At such time, I think that I do not have something to go back. I live in hometown. It is most nearest place for me. My hometown is not very important place for me at the moment. I envy someone who has a hometown that is important to them.

By the way, I remembered the words the principal of my elementary school said about hometown. My friends and I met at the very far place from Japan. We have each have our hometown. We were born in each place. We may possibly never meet. He said that “This school is our own hometown, our bosom hometown”. I remember it very well. I cannot go to France soon but I am sure to want to go there someday. The landscapes will put some memories into my head and I gradually become happy. Such a heartfull place is a hometown where I think it is true of. You can hold on longer anywhere, but you have only one hometown that reminds you of warm feeling.
