Last Saturday, I watched a movie,”I am Sam.” I heard about the movie, but I have never seen it. A lot of people who watched this movie said “It was so great movie and I was so touched by this story!” so I looked forward to watch it.
The story was about; a man who had a handicap. His name was Sam. He had a wife who didn’t have a handicap and they got baby. The baby was named Lucy. She was so cute girl and didn’t have a handicap. They seemed happy. But one day, the wife left Sam and Lucy suddenly. In the movie, why she left them wasn’t told but I guessed she was tired to live with a man who had a handicap. And I wasn’t sure why she had married with Sam even though he had a handicap. Anyway, this scene made me really sad.
After she left, Sam had to grow Lucy up by himself. But he has a lot of fried who helped him. They had a handicap or problem also. It was very hard work for Sam to grow Lucy up, but he was so happy to live with Lucy. Sam loved Lucy and Lucy loved Sam too. They were a really good family.
But Lucy started to think why her father was different from other fathers. Sam couldn’t read a new and more difficult book for Lucy, and couldn’t go to a new restaurant that didn’t know Sam, and sometimes he acted like child.
One day, Lucy’s teacher told Sam that his intelligence was as same as 7 years old child and it would hard for him to grow Lucy up when her seventh birthday came. And the teacher also said Lucy didn’t want to learn anymore. It means she didn’t want to be older (or smarter) than her father. I thought how touching she was.
On the very day of Lucy’s seventh birthday, Sam planned to surprise and to celebrate her. But he was caught by police (I’m not sure why Sam was caught.). And a trial about whether Lucy should live with Sam or not had started….
This was an outline of “I am Sam”. I think I shouldn’t tell everything happened in this movie because I feel sorry if someone who will watch and wants to watch this movie read this blog. But I can say only this; I was greatly touched by this story!

off!
We had four days off last weekend! Last Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday were off! I was soooooo happy! But these off make me feel today’s school more boring….
When the last class of last Friday was finished, I felt free. Some students left for ski trip by buses. I didn’t sign up for the trip, so I stayed in dorm during these off. I had nothing to do, so I went to the gym with my friends, Reina and Mao, and we did some exercises, like somersaults, handstands and so on with using a gymnastic mat. We tried to do backflips but it was too hard for us. I couldn’t do a handstand. I have no motor nerves… After that, we played badminton! I’m a captain of badminton club, but I’m bad at badminton (because our badminton club isn’t a serious club; it’s just a game)… But to play badminton is really fun! We enjoyed it over 1 hour.
And there was a volleyball contest on Friday’s night. it was an inter-committee contest. We were separated by each committee and mad a groups. I belonged to a livelihood committee so I was in a group of the livelihood committee. It was fun! My committee couldn’t win the contest, but it was a good time.
Next day, I went to the County Center to watch a basketball game with Reina and Kan who were managers of our buys varsity basketball team also. The final sectional game of boys class C was held there. Our boy’s varsity basketball team wanted to play the final game, but we lost, so our wish didn’t come true. Last year, our team advanced to the final. At the time, we lost the final and had a season over on March 1st. I remembered about last year when I went into the County Center. The sight made my mind something. Probably Reina felt something like me. There were full of people who cheered each team. There was no Japanese, so it was a kind of awkward. But before the game started, some Keio students including some basketball players arrived so we sit together. The game was played by Valhalla School and North Salem School. We had played with Valhalla during the season. The level of the game was high. Especially no. 4 of Valhalla was a really nice player. I was so surprised when I read a brochure that written about schools and players who were in these games that held in the County Center. The no. 4 was sophomore yet!
And after the game finished, we went to Kalbi House. It was near by the County Center. We ordered seafood Chidimi (seafood pancake) and Kalbi. We ate until our stmach distends! I was so satisfied!
And Next week, boys varsity basketball team will have a banquet! We’ll probably go to Kalbi House! I’m very happy that I can eat Kalbi so often! But I have to start diet because the Florida trip is coming soon….! It’s too hard to stand eating…
