I'm Kemiko!
As the boat slid across the water, she looked up at the towering walls of her new school her heart beating with excitement and hope.
She never been outside Japan, let alone to a place like this. An island school where only one student from each country could go.
She could hardly believe she was here.
Her brother gave her of reassuring smile and she felt her nervousness eased a bit
She didn't know why she's been chosen. But she knew one thing for sure, she was ready for whatever lay ahead.
The new students were greeted by teachers and members of the student council who directed them with calm but practice efficiency.
Each student's belongings are checked and recorded before they move forward to line up.
After having her belongings checked, she lined up with the other students, waiting for her turn.
When it's her turn, the student council member incharge of checking the students look at her with surprise and awe...
Student Council

Student Council
Welcome here, Kemiko!
This is in Japan's flag pin for you...
Every student receives a small pin with the flag of their home country, which they were instructed to wear every day. Especially during these early weeks, so everyone would recognize where each new student was from.
After that they were each handed a card slender and smooth with instructions not to lose it under any circumstances.
Student Council
...and here's your card.
The card contained all of their student informations and was essential for navigating life on the island. With a quick scan, the card could unlock doors, the schools public transportations, classrooms, buildings, and even check-in for meals. Ensuring that every student's attendance are an activities were carefully tracked.
Student Council
Take a good care of your card don't lose it.
