Your comment last night reminded me of my high school days. You like English very much and so did I. You are brushing up your English by attending English conversation school after school. I had no chances to speak in English until I went on a school excursion to Kyoto and Shikoku. I had never seen any foreigners before, because I was born and brought up in a small town in the mountains.

It was when I was on board a ship that I first saw foreign people. I met an old, kind English couple traveling around the world. I spoke to them in English! I was not sure if I could make myself understood in English or not, but I had already begun speaking in English. You can imagine how happy and excited I was when they answered me in English and I could understand them. My teacher of English asked me not ask him for help, because he was not good at speaking in English!

I hope you will achieve your dream.
