The 68th graduation ceremony address
2022-03-01
 I met Yayoi, and the lingering cold of early spring finally faded, too and became the bud of the tree when it swelled out. I feel big joy in what the 68th certificate investiture can hold in this way today. I apologize for what prevention of spread suffered from with the inside during an emphasis measures period if reduction is held this year. 
 Protectors, congratulations on your graduation of ladies. A past event or various difficulty come and go and know it with a deep emotion much more thing to today's ladies who grew up. Thank you very much for entrusting impressionable important time to education of our school. I will leave our school as of today. With a civil law revision, you become the adulthood from next month, but please watch it warmly for a while. 
 Everybody, congratulations on your graduation of the meeting of sanka. I say good-bye to the school building of the memory that I spent with 82 friends today and am a day of the departure to open the new door, and to leave for the future.
 I repeated the high school life that I ran through while sharing joy and sorrow with an irreplaceable friend, many valuable experiences. I was able to acquire "the power that built the rich relation" and "mind to serve and power to practice" that our school aimed at through a wide variety of our school's original events and school life such as transmission types of the light that I inherited school excursion, athletic meet, Holy Mother month, Christmas society to Canada and a traditional light from a senior and delivered to a younger student.
 It was three years when the high school life of everybody was tossed about for the new university entrance exam system and a new coronavirus infectious disease when I looked back. The policy of the country concerned with the university entrance exam system changed repeatedly, and an effort might not be rewarded. And I was forced to these two years, memory and cancellation, reduction holding of the events such as the memorial festival bazaars that it should be exposed to the violence of the corona evil. It was right the high school life that was made fun of, and was forced to *nan. Under these circumstances, the figure of who sent school life gorgeously while shining brightly brightly was stouthearted at all and became impressive.
 For last one year in high school life, it was the summer, the winter season and the historic year that it was held twice with postponement for one year of the Tokyo Olympics Paralympics.
 Following the summer meeting that brought many impressions, the achievement of the woman athlete such as female curling or speed skating Miho Takagi attracted us by BEIJING OLYMPIC in the winter season. Takagi won gold, a silver medal this time among other things at the fourth kind. I won three of the last Pyeongchang Olympics and laying upon, seven medals in total and made many impressions on us by the outstanding performance more than five Japanese medalist record highs at the Olympics. "The last corner just before the pursuit final gold medal for women. Nana Takagi of the older sister who glided in the tail of the file loses the balance and falls down. At the moment, the dream of the straight victory collapsed. Miho of the younger sister rushes up to the restored older sister of the friend at the very beginning in utter amazement. Tears of saina do not stop. I was cheered up by all the members, and a shoulder was held and proved world's best "teamwork" And "Miho went for greetings to everybody who supported Japan in a venue, and went, and bore tears, and was stouthearted, and behaved to a blessing to Canadian. "I thought that I of the younger sister must get a grip on myself when I heard it in an interview as an older sister was such situation." It was introduced, I talked about this by the news article.
 There are many points that you should learn from the human nature filled with hearts of such a generosity, but feels Grit (power to carry out) which continued challenging it without giving it up with the strong spiritual strength that crawled it up from a failure on the back of the achievement of today's Takagi.
 It was chosen as a representative as a promising star at Vancouver Olympics, only 15 years old in 2010. The result was the last place, 1500m23 rank and serious unwillingness in 1000m35 rank. I tasted a big failure, and it was not possible even that a representative received it at the Sochi Olympics in 2014 of college student days. Still it is four medal acquisition in three and this Beijing in 2018 Pyeongchang that I caught after I repeated an exercise without abandoning a dream. This way of life gives many suggestions to us. Through big hardship, heart, all of generosity for a posture and the others who make an effort without giving it up towards a dream are study bitoshitekudasai of life in the future. The Bible tells that the hardship is an entrance leading to hope, too.
 In addition, I show the critical development since "invasion to shake international peace in Russia in Ukraine" is started five days ago, and it is reported day after day that the holy human life of most was lost. The Pope that this situation that turned worse was concerned about, in the same way as "me, many people of the world feel a suffering and anxiety. Deep sorrow was expressed saying peace of everybody is threatened for the interest of some people again. And it is called to do March 2 with prayer and the day of the fast tomorrow. I will introduce words of the prayer. "You protect people from pains of abuse and the destruction that are dripped by the military power and choose the way to talks with courage, and can come true. So that monarch Maria of the peace protects the world from insanity of the war."
 Well, everybody becomes the adulthood of the new system beginning with civil law to reduce adult age to 18 years old being enforced on April 1.
 I do not obey the parental authority of parents either and come to be able to decide the acquisition of the effective passport for own intention from now on for place where oneself lives in, purchase of the cell-phone, making of the credit card, borrowing, ten years of the apartment. On the other hand, the right of cancellation of the minority disappears. Please be careful enough later as you may not cancel a contract.
 An action with the responsibility as the adulthood is strongly demanded, but it is predicted that it increases to be involved in a trouble from now on. It is vital to talk with family and 188 (consumers hot line) immediately by any chance without holding it alone if involved in a trouble.
 It is full of big events such as a new infectious disease, the summer, the Winter Olympics Paralympics, invasion in Ukraine, the new civil law enforcement and is the graduation year incised on memory.
 In our country, various measures are promoted for realization of Society5.0 (super smart society) with new coronavirus measures now. With a new lifestyle, advanced technology such as the AI is developed, and the everyday life of social way and us is changing dramatically. It is said that it is the times when it is hard to predict it from now on.
 In such times, power to open up the rich life is important through various society changes in deference to every others while collaborating with a variety of people. Shusaku Endo of the writer is described with "living with will towards a height with the life" in Catholic believers.
 Everybody touches power to collaborate with various people with higher knowledge with will in each specialized field and will be to support future Japan.
 You continue desiring peace faithfully, and please value the friendship that you brought up in an irreplaceable life and a star of the dawn from now on. And you thank a family making many debts, and please repay kindness of the family who poured generous love as the new adulthood by all means until now. I fully show generosity, a feeling of thankfulness that brought up life 100 years and the times to be said in our school and will pray for playing an active part while shining brightly, and lighting up many people.
 I introduce a part of the lyrics of "the sasanqua" which current students gave it by a farewell party last and do it with an address. "The moment when you shine than intellect tteiruyo anyone as for me that you fall down than anyone else and cry than anyone else, and you stood up than anyone else most"
 Then have a nice day.
