Creative Award Impressions: Just how many styles does Mother Snow have?

I have read this non-fiction work many times. I keep re-reading it. I don't know why I read it so much. I am simply watching the process of daily life and a family changing through the sport of 'baseball,' but it is interesting.

The context is primarily a record, so emotions are kept to a minimum. Therefore, it is structured to be read as a calm record, but I feel the love of 'Mother Snow' overflowing in every corner of the text. It is interesting because even though she tries to write objectively, you can feel the growth of the children and of 'Mother Snow' herself. I find myself thinking about various things in the margins of the diary. In the first place, it was the eldest son of the Honda family who blew the wind of baseball into the Honda household, where baseball had not taken root.

As far as I can tell from reading this text, it is not that the eldest son looked at Shohei Ohtani's glove as if it were a treasure. He saw his friend's behavior and thought, 'I want to play baseball!!' If I were to write this as fiction, I wouldn't be able to write it this way. It's not that he saw a cool player and wanted to play, or that he saw the glove himself and was moved to play. The motive of 'just watching a friend' is too weak, yet from that day on, he continues to play baseball for a month without wavering. The eldest son's will is incredibly strong.

This is incredibly cute. It taught me that the motive doesn't matter. Perhaps he just brought it up as a topic to convey his desire to Mother Snow. Since he was able to clearly convey 'I want to do it,' the method doesn't matter, and it made me realize that it is important to convey the true feelings underneath. I felt the pure part of a child and remembered a feeling I had forgotten.

That is why, while glancing at a friend who was hopelessly in love with and mesmerized by a beautiful woman, I thought that it was okay for me to like that woman too.

In this work, you can follow the growth day by day, starting with a Cre-wrap mini bat, changing to a Saran wrap bat, and then a color bat, making a handmade home plate, borrowing baseball books on rainy days, starting morning practice with Dad on Saturdays, and the neighborhood kids who had been watching all along joining in as teammates, and practice turning into games; in short, daily life keeps changing through baseball.

In reality, how much can a parent really accompany a child's enthusiasm? The author of this work, Ms. Snow Honda, really goes all the way. As I read this article over and over, my heart changed: What is Ms. Honda really doing? -> So this is the kind of person Snow-mama is -> I can't imitate this if it goes this far -> Wow, this is already a teacher -> She is Teacher Snow Honda. From now on, I cannot think of her as anything other than Teacher Snow Honda.

Therefore, when I read it for the fifth time, I felt like, 'I will gratefully read the teacher's instructional book again today.'

This is not a lie. I think this record is truly amazing. It is because the energy of the child's enthusiasm and his single-minded figure are firmly recorded. It is written how the child who said 'I want to do it' continued to do it and poured his energy into it. Even the slightest nuances are recorded without being missed. Thinking about my own child being able to read such a growth diary when they grow up, I think it is a very wonderful thing.

So, as a small token of my gratitude, I have recorded the changes in Teacher Snow Honda, and I would like to present it to you. By reading this, I hope you feel my passion, and I hope you all feel Teacher Snow Honda by your side.

Teacher Snow Honda's Baseball History

On the 9th day, she starts pitching. On the 15th day, she feels the pleasure of her first two-base hit. On the 16th day, she even starts acting as an umpire. On the 19th day, she becomes a catcher, gets protested on a strike call, and learns the mindset of an umpire. On the 20th day, she starts being called the mom who plays a lot of baseball and begins to create a legend. On the 22nd day, she becomes able to play as an infielder. On the 23rd day, she becomes able to play as an outfielder. On the 26th day, she adopts the mindset of a manager and, for some reason, starts thinking about raising the players. And she learns that this baseball boom will not end as just a boom. On the 32nd day, she even gets children from the neighboring school involved and starts practicing knocks and fly balls.

Teacher Snow Honda. You are wonderful. You are the vanguard of experiential moms. I am happy to have encountered the work of a teacher like you. I don't know at all what kind of future activities you desire, but I feel that experience logs and report articles by Teacher Snow Honda would be very interesting.

I don't know at all if you desire it, but if you read this article and know the passion of Teacher Snow Honda, you should want to say that. Please, couldn't you give such work to Teacher Snow Honda as an opportunity? And at that time, I will definitely accompany you, and as a luggage carrier and cheerleader, I will send my loud support.

At first, they were playing baseball with only three people, but rumors spread that there was a legendary mom, and it increased to 14 people. People say the baseball fever has cooled down or that it was taken over by other ball games or sports, but reading this article shows that the sport of 'baseball' is a sport of communication. And you can see that the children are communicating well and growing.

I don't know what that will become in the future. There is only one thing I can say.

It has swirled in my heart many times, and I hesitated about when to say it. With my utmost praise, this non-fiction work is, after all,

what are you talking about?

I send this to you. It was incredibly fun.
