Before coming to Japan, I was a high school student. At that time, I spent my days carefreely playing and enjoying wonderful days in my town. From my 11th grade, I had been thinking about going to Japan, so while in my country, I enjoyed various things such as traveling with my mother and dining with relatives. After graduating from high school, I had a two-week break. After the break, I went to Hanoi with my friends to study Japanese. My friend gave up after a week. I almost gave up too, but I was encouraged by my mother, and thanks to her, I was able to continue my studies. Soon after, I changed to a different Japanese language center. By that time, I had become accustomed to life in Hanoi and was okay being alone. And now, I am living in Japan. I am satisfied now with having my own thoughts and choosing my own path.
