"I free my mind from fear after listening to volunteer's experiences."

Students: Ruka Tanaka, Testuhiro Ozeki

Why you chose a part-time high school?

Ruka: One of the reason is that I didn't go junior high school enough so I was not able to go to the high school that I've wanted to go. (In Japan, it might be difficult to go on to high school if a student has a poor record of attendance at junior high school school.) But I thought that I had to go out a little so I chose a correspondence high school that I don't have to go everyday.

Testuhiro: I have hated school. I've felt that "school" is an unnatural forced place. I almost didn't go to junior high school last a year and a half. But at the same time, I felt that I had to go out a little, so I chose a correspondence high school.

How was the classes of Crescendo?

Ruka: I've taken the Crescendo twice. I like icebreakers such like a Karuta, Sugoroku. That was fun. I didn't remember the detail about the classes but I sometimes remind about the story of a volunteer. I remember about it when I have a nightmare of my bad experiences. I forgot the contents of the story. That was kinds of story like that I was bullied but now I am... I feel better with the fact that there was a person who talked about that.

Ruka: I've taken the Crescendo twice. I didn't remember the detail about the classes but I sometimes remind about the story of a volunteer. He told me a story that he was bullied at school. I don't feel well when I have a nightmare of my hard experiences in the past. But, I feel relieve after I remind about that story.

Do you keep in touch with staffs?

Ruka: Yes. Tacchan (who is a DxP staff) and Gonchan (who is a graduated student) is really easy to talk with. Even now they listen to my complaints and give some advices. This is precious relationships because I don't have a father and there is no close man around me. I really trust them.
