my memory of the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake

  When I was eighth grader, in the biological experiment laboratory in my school in Tokyo, I had the biggest earthquake in my life. Water in fish tanks leaked and some experiment tools fell down the floor. About two minutes later, we stood up, then our teacher watched a news flash soon.
  I thought the earthquake is a terrible disaster. However, it became a small funny day when our teacher told that we should stay there by tomorrow. For 14 years old boys, nothing is fun than staying in the school. Not delicious cookies as a dinner become delicious if we eat with friends. Thin blanket become very hot after playing with friends .
We enjoyed this rare opportunity until my parents pick my friend and me up. We didn't know what had happened in Japan, in Tohoku at all at that time. We still enjoyed an unusual day. We ate snacks and sung as if the enclosed space were a karaoke room. About 1 hours may be passed. We were so excited and continued talking and laughing .
  About 2 hours had passed. We finally got tired and found that we almost at the same place as 2 hours ago.
  We realized that this is an unpleased special day little by little. The car hardly proceed due to very heavy traffic jam. It took 1hours to proceed 1 km. Most of the streets in Tokyo fell of innumerable cars. Hundreds of people walked for hours. Train had stopped, so a lot of people couldn't go back home in Tokyo. When I arrived my home, I was so exhausted and it had passed more than 6 hours.
  After deep asleep, I saw unbelievable scenes on TV. Everything is beyond my experiences. I called my grandmother who lives in Yamagata next to Miyagi. In Yamagata, no electronics had provided since the earthquake. They stayed all night below the freezing point without any heaters. To the worst, heavy snowfall hit Tohoku next day. I was irritated to have nothing  to do for suffering people.
  Some friends and I started correcting anything what they had used or already don't need from neighbors. Shoes, clothes, daily necessities, and some donated foods like canned foods. We finally corrected more than 200 items incruding message cards what children in the kindergarten wrote.
  "Gambatte! "
  "Ouenshitemasu!"
  Every cards were filled with many heartful words. Everyone who came hoped that Tohoku come back as soon as possible.
  I started this volunteer hoping to it would help people in Tohoku  first. But, I realized that this project become for not between Tohoku people and I, but for everyone who took part in. Through the project, I found great bond between Tohoku people and my neighbours nneighbours and I , and my friend and I.
 
  3.11 is unforgettable day. many people had died or displaced. But there was good memories, too. I didn't know that we are all connected everywhere and everytime. We want to forget the sadness. However, we never forget the bond forever. With the strong power, we and Japan will accomplish everything.
