author note:
this is my third piece about me in elementary school. i was in the period of rebeliousness.
i easily got angry at my mom because of a tiny thing.
As every child has the period of rebelliousness, I was not an exception.
It came in elementary school.
In my first period of rebelliousness, I easily lost my temper.
Now, I can say that I, in elementary school, did not make sense.
I will never forget those silly days.
My dad owns a small company and my mom also works there.
Dad's company is next to my grandparents' house and my house is next to my grandfather's house.
So there are dad's company, grandparents' house, and my house in a row.
Because both my parents work at dad's company, I took the house key to school.
Always I went back home, opened its door with the key, and went for playing with my friends.
I was a so hasty boy, so I forgot to take my house key to school.
But it was okay because my mom was at her office and always I could asked her for the house key.
Even if mom was not at her office, I could stay at my grandparents' house.
But I needed the house key when I promised my friends to play after school.
This is a story, which happened many times in elementary school, when I did not take my house key to school.
Probably that was before summer.
As usual, I slept over.
Mom woke me up once, twice, three times...
I woke up at 7:30.
I had to go in 15 minutes.
I swallowed breakfast, changed my clothes, and
So I couldnt get my house key and had to stay at my grandmother's house which is next to my house.
When I couldnt get my house key, had to stay at my grandmother's house, and couldnt play with my friends, I got really angry.
I always got mad at my mom who came back from her work and was tired.
I said to my mom, "Why were not you at office!? I couldnt play with my friends because of you!"
When I think back, I always feel sorry for her and also I feel that it is so hard to raise a child because of the period of rebelliousness.

Ryo's third piece
Author's note: I wrote a letter to me one year later. I made a list of 10 questions in this letter.
In this course, I often confronted myself when I started to write. By doing so, I could think about myself deeply and understand myself more. I found my weakness. That is shyness. I am not used to express my feeling or thoughts, but I could change myself by publishing three different pieces and become used to express myself a bit. I have an anxiety for my future, so I wrote this letter to me with expectation that I can change myself such as a person with confidence or sociability.

Shoto's third piece "The letter to me at the age of seventeen"
Author's Note: I wrote a letter to me at the age of seventeen. When I was seventeen, I'm so troubled with dealing with studing, club activities, and human relationships at the same time in my high school days. That is why I put some hints to this problems and little intriduction about my college life in this letter to encourage me. It was very interesting experiece for me to write those things because I just remembered my serious distress at that time through a writting.

Saaya's third piece
Author's note
I produced letter for myself.
The setting of age is the exact same as my mother's age now. Therefore When I become fifty-two year-old, I will open this letter again.
I wrote about my university life, and I image future life. I was difficult to write for myself.
I think a part of talking about university life, someone has the same feeling as me.
I hope you enjoy my writing.
Thank you Moro, and Erika(my frind) for giving me some advice and improve my piece.
