新年度の恒例行事、「身体測定」が行われました。
「去年より伸びているかな」
そんな思いを胸に、自分の順番を待つ生徒たちの姿が見られました。
友人同士で身長の話をする声や、少し緊張した表情が印象的でした。
その一方で参考書を読みながら静かに並んで待つ高校３年生の姿がありました。
明日から2日間、早稲田大学の推薦に関わる重要な実力テストを控えています。少しでも良い点数を取るため、１秒も無駄にしたくなかったでしょう。
今日は身体の成長が測られる日。そして明日は、また別の意味での成長が試される日でもあります。
早稲田大学進学を目背す生徒も、難関大学を受験する生徒も、自分の成長度合いを測り、それぞれ夢の実現につなげてほしいです。
Today we had the yearly physical measurements – a staple of the new school year.
“I wonder if I’ve grown any since last year.”
It was more than a few students that whispered these words to their friend in anticipation as they chatted while waiting in line for their turn.
In stark contrast to this was the third-year high school students, using the time to quietly review their study materials.
Starting tomorrow, they will spend two days taking the ‘jitsuryoku test’ – a test of their academic performance in the five core subjects. The scores from these tests will factor in heavily to their chance to get a recommendation to Waseda University, so the third-year students didn’t want to waste a single second.
Today, their physical growth is being evaluated. Tomorrow, a different kind of growth will be evaluated.
To both those vying for a spot at Waseda and those preparing themselves to take exams at other highly-ranked universities, we wish that the results of the tests let them see how far they’ve come and help them take the next step to realize their dreams.
