When I was in Japan, there was this old man. Because he was blind, when he got off the train, he couldn't figure out how to go around the station wall. I wanted to help, but I was afraid because my Japanese isn't good. So, while I was watching him and debating with myself, another Japanese person came and helped him. I'm sure, whether I was Japanese or not, it wouldn't have mattered to the old man. I keep thinking about that moment. How an act of kindness doesn't matter what language you speak. I want to return back to that time at the train station have more courage, and try again. 

電車のえきのおじいさん

日本に行ったとき電車の駅におじいさんがいた。おじいさんはブラインドだから目が不自由だったので(or 盲目[もうもく] だったので) 電車をおりたとき、どうやったら駅のかべの周りに行くにそって歩けるのか分からないかった。

私は手伝いたかったけど私の日本語は上手じゃないから怖かった。だから、彼を見たり自分とぎろんしたら見ながらあれこれ考えていたら。。。他の日本人が来て、彼を手伝ったまで。

きっと、私は日本人だかどうか日本人じゃなくて私が日本人であるかどうかではなくて、おじいさんにを大事じゃに思っていなかったでしょう。そのしゅんかんのについて考え続けている。しんせつなこういは、話している言語はがもんだいなのではなくて。。。私はその時のその電車の駅にその時間に戻って、もう一度 より(or もっと) 勇気をもってためしてみたい。
