Finally
I
had wanted to study abroad since I was a junior
high school student, but I couldn't do it because of budget. When I chose a college,
I decided to enter a junior college to save money. After I entered
the college, I prepared for studying abroad. My parents agreed with my
studying abroad. I was filled with anxiety before I went to America, but I was also looking
forward to studying abroad.
At first,
I couldn't say what I wanted to say . I was
shocked because I couldn't catch English words or keep conversation,
but after I started going to school and making many friends, I
got used to talking with them. When they understood my English, I was so happy and glad that
I got
a chance to study abroad. Most of my friends were Asian, and
we spent time together for six months. Our sense of values
and culture were completely different, and I learned the diversity of culture in addition to studying
English. And it was really valuable for me.
Through
studying abroad, I felt that it is important to have
confidence . I got to say what I
wanted to do. And I noticed that
I'm proud of being Japanese
. I appreciate again all the people who supported
me such as my family, teachers, and
friends. And also, my host family, and my irreplaceable friends who I met
in America. This studying abroad was a
very valuable
experience for me and my life. I'm grateful to all the people I've
met. I love all of them. Thank you so much.
