Thank you, Jiei!
Today was Jiei's last day at Seiritsu. It has been a pleasure to have him join us here for the last three weeks. He has done a wonderful job acclimating; studying in the regular classes and also training out on the pitch with the soccer team.
We do not normally take in athlete students for the short term, as it takes a lot to be able to take care of them. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes to help new students. Planning attendance at games and the transportation and working together on the athletic drills, it is amazing how much work is needed for visiting athletes to take part.
Luckily, in this case, Jiei was able to speak the language and he is quite familiar with local customs, so was able to fit in quickly and smoothly. The students and teachers all loved having him.
Good luck with all your endeavors, Jiei.
