First post

Hello! My name is Syoko Matsuda. I made this blog as one of class activities.
First of all, let me introduce myself. As you know, my name is Syoko Matsuda. I am going to be 21 years old next month.
My name has a meaning. First name has the meaning of “ Respectable Child (girl)”, and family name has the meaning of “Fields that have a pine tree in”. Therefore, the meaning of my name is “ A respectable girl who lives in fields that have a pine tree”. Accordingly, I want to be a wonderful girl like my name. Historically, Japanese people have a first name and family name that has a meaning itself. I have heard that European people do not have a meaning in their family name. So, I’m very proud of my name.
I live in Kumamoto prefecture that is located on the middle of Kyusyu. We have a beautiful castle called Kumamoto Castle.
As I want you to know good points of my hometown, I would like to tell you about them in details from now on. Please enjoy looking at this blog!!
