I have been in Japan for a year and a half now. Looking back, I realize that I’ve come this far thanks to the support of everyone around me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the past two years at Japanese language school, I have received an incredible amount of care from the teachers. They understood my weaknesses better than anyone else and always gave me sharp feedback. When my attitude towards studies wasn’t good, they scolded me, but when I was in trouble, they spoke to me more kindly than anyone else. I will never forget the words of a teacher who said, “You may not want to study, but keep trying little by little.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At my part-time job, Mr. Ikemoto always helped and shared valuable insights. During newspaper deliveries, there were many things I didn’t understand, but every time I received words of encouragement and guidance, which I am truly grateful for. Those words have become my treasure. I will also never forget the various pieces of advice I received from Mr. Matsumoto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Studying while doing newspaper deliveries was very challenging, and there were many lonely moments. There were times when I felt exhausted and wanted to give up everything. At times, I lost balance within myself and caused inconvenience to some, while others never abandoned me. I was helped by many people, received gentle scolding, and a lot of love. I didn’t really want to be scolded, but thank you for speaking up. I am incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by such kind people, and I am very happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m also glad to have met all of my classmates. When I first came here, I could only think of Japan as a travel destination, but now I have made many friends. I never thought I would have so many wonderful memories. Thanks to everyone, my life has become enjoyable. I will never forget any of you. I want to go back two years in time. If I could, I would cherish everyone even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking back, there are still many things I can’t express, but I am truly filled with gratitude and emotion. I feel very sad about graduating, but my desire to love Japan even more remains unchanged, no matter where I am. To everyone who supported and guided me, to everyone who took care of me, and to all those who love their hometown, thank you so much for the past two years!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
