A little after that, Sasaki-sensei my JTE from Embetsu Agricultural High School. We were welcomed by the Shosanbetsu Junior High School principal before being ushered to the library, which served as our deliberation room.
The speech competition started at 1PM and each student did their best. In the end, the students from Rumoi Junior High School and Kounan Junior High School brought home the awards.
After the event, I rode with Okumura-sensei until Haboro High School where I caught the bus home officially ending the day.
