I have a hidden talent
I think it was the first round of the Gunma Prefectural Tournament when I was in middle 3, but Director Izumi (Minoru) (Waseda Jitsugyo) knew about me somewhere and came to the stadium to see the game. .. When I was a junior high school student, what I really thought about was playing baseball at university, not to mention going to Koshien. To that end, I tried hard to study and play baseball and entered the local Ota High School, and eventually I wanted to go to university.
In the first place, my brother (Mr. Satoshi, who is three years older) always wanted to go to Waseda University. His brother went to Kiryu High School to play baseball, but he practiced hard and came home with his uniform muddy every night.
My brother participates in the selection of Waseda University baseball club in the spring of high school 3. At that time, he was allowed to practice with Toritani (Kei) and Aoki (Nori Aoki), who were in their fourth year of college. When he took a bath with Mr. Aoki, he saw him stretching naked and said he was overwhelmed by the height of his consciousness. After hearing the story of my brother, I eventually wanted to go to Waseda University and play baseball at Jingu Stadium.
When it was time to choose high school after finishing junior high school baseball, thankfully some high schools had the option of being a baseball player. I wonder if Ota High School also had a frame for sports recommendations.
But I was also studying hard, so I was thinking about general entrance exams. I don’t think my grades were bad, and I was particularly good at English. Art and music could be 3 but both Ota High School and Kiryu High School were within the passing range in the national unified mock exam. Everyone in the baseball club was working hard toward Ota High School, and I was wondering if I would go to Ota High School.
