私の将来の目標は児童養護施設の職員になることです。私は中学校1年生から高校1年生の夏まで児童養護施設でお世話になりました。知っている人が１人もいない施設で心細かった私はとても緊張していてこの先どうなるのだろうかという不安もありましたが。そんな時、施設の職員さんが気軽に話しかけてくださり緊張や不安は無くなりました。私は大学に進学して児童保護施設について学び資格をとっと私がお世話になった職員さんたちのように困っている子達に寄り添って少しでも安心させてあげられるような職員になりたいと思います。

My dream is to be a staff of a children's dormitory.  I lived in a children’s dormitory from when I was in 7th grade to 9th grade.  I remember moving into the facility for the first time, I felt so lonely because there was nobody that I knew of, but all the staff members were so kind and caring that I felt like I was embraced.  I would like to go to an university to learn about child welfare and be just like the staff members who helped me.  I would like to be the person to help children who are in need and let them know they are not alone.

He has lived in our facility for 4 years since he was in 7th grade to the first year in high school.  After that, he moved out and lived with his mother taking care of his 3 siblings.  He is the oldest son and often was the victim of domestic violence by his father since he was trying to protect his siblings.  However, he is a positive and earnest kid who was loved by everyone in the facility.  Sometimes, our staff members counted on him and let him be a leader among the children.  Currently he is out of the facility, but he has to give up his dream since it is financially difficult for his mother to pay all the costs for a university.  Thus, I would like you to have at least an interview, knowing it is an exception.  Thank you.

本児は中学1年生から高校1年生の夏まで約4年間若松寮で過ごしました。その後、今日まで1年半は実母のところに間取り妹と姉弟４人の兄弟の世話をしながら高校に通っています。長男ということもあり、幼少の頃から実父からの暴力を一人で受け他の兄弟を守ってきました。施設での生活は常にポジティブかつ真面目で誰からも慕われる存在でした。時には我々職員も彼を頼りにし子どもの中でもリーダを任せておりました。現在は施設で生活しておりませんが、お母さんだけの収入だけでは進学の夢を諦めなければなりません。どうか例外ではありますが、一人の若者の将来に光を与えるためにも面接だけでもお願い致します。
