I’ve been in Japan for about half a year now. During this time, I’ve encountered various experiences. I believe there have been more challenges than positive moments. However, for me, whether good or bad, these experiences have contributed to my personal growth. Among them, meeting a wonderful person has been a significant blessing in my life. Thanks to this person, I’ve gained confidence in my life in Japan. I have a shy personality and often lack self-confidence in many situations. When I was struggling with my confidence in adapting to life in Japan, I met this individual. She is a Christian, a Japanese national who has previously lived in China, giving her a deep understanding of Chinese culture and character. She is an incredibly approachable person. At work, I frequently receive reprimands from my superiors. They pointed out habits that Chinese people often have but Japanese people do not. After being scolded by my superiors, I became fearful of making mistakes and unknowingly upsetting others, leading to daily stress. During those times, I met her, and observing her sincere and inclusive attitude towards people of all nationalities, my heart grew stronger. When I fell ill, she went out late at night to buy medicine for me, which made me immensely happy and touched. We meet once a week to study the Bible. She takes her role as a Bible teacher seriously and teaches with dedication. I feel incredibly happy when I study with her. Every time we meet, she prepares a feast for us. I wish to repay her kindness, but I’m not sure how to do so. Therefore, for now, I must diligently study according to her wishes, as it’s the only way I can show my appreciation. I am currently focusing on a significant aspect of my life, which is the Japanese language proficiency exam. If I pass, I plan to climb a mountain and fully enjoy Japan’s beautiful scenery with her. However, as the exam approaches, stress has been mounting. I often experience headaches, and sleep becomes scarce. Nevertheless, I must persevere. I believe I am not timid. She is undoubtedly the lucky star that God has bestowed upon me. No matter what happens, I can confide in her. That’s what I keep reminding myself. Meeting her brings happiness into my life. I cannot help but be grateful to God. I intend to cherish this encounter dearly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
