The reason why I wanted to study abroad is to upgrade my skill. I’m seeking what I want to be and want to do in the future now. So, I want to get many future choices myself through experience many things. I am sure that my life will be better than now through studying abroad. I can feel environment of completely different from japan and I can get the idea which I didn’t have ever.

I met the teacher who made me like English that was the weakest point for me when I was a junior high school student. I wanted to study abroad at the age of the student and make a lot of foreign friends. Because I am, in the study broad destination, I try actively to take communication with a lot of students who gathered from the various countries from myself and make many friends. I value an encounter individually, and be involved in various ways of thinking and information and want to open my interest and field of vision.

I want to challenge a lot of things and lead a full life in only ten months. I am always going to do my best. Even if I feel hard to learn, I want to learn enjoyably. In addition, I am going to live by myself for a long time for the first time. I want to live strongly with the high levels independence which I don’t have trouble even if I become a member of society in the future after graduating.

It is left only for three months for my studying abroad in the Philippines. I have already spent here with the life I had never experience in Japan for seven months. I couldn’t adjust this life well for first three months. This life in the Philippines is my first time to live alone. In the class, I was very surprised that a lot of assignments. They can’t be compared to assignments in Japan. However, I could live having fun because of many Filipino kind friends and other exchange students. In addition, my classmates helped me attentively a lot and they taught me the contents of the class which I couldn’t understand well with consuming a lot of time. They taught me it by themselves. I was impressed. And then I could adjust this life gradually and I feel like time passes more quickly now.
I have a class about Japan. There are a lot of Japanese information; history, geopolitics, geography, and tradition that I learned at the first time even though I am Japanese. At that time, I felt keenly my ignorance as well as I had more interest about Japan. I can learn a lot about other countries through daily conversation with a lot of exchange students of different nationalities in this university and I came to have more interest about their countries. I realize my world is spreading every day. I’m thinking there are a lot of things to learn next three months. I am going to continue to cherish the rest of my studying abroad life.

What I learned from this studying abroad are roughly divided into two things.
The one thing is “To study makes our life more fruitful.” Sadly, I thought studying was only for my grade or going to college. I seldom had a conversation about the politics or history with friends before studying abroad. However, my daily life changed because of studying abroad. I had conversation about many politics or history topics with when I was in the Philippines. It was so interesting. However, I couldn’t answer the question from my friends about my notion or Japan’s history. I didn’t even know well about my home country. It was so ashamed at the time. Listen the new thing is interesting for me. Furthermore, it must have been more interesting if I could tell more things about them. I realized that learning new things and using them in my daily make my life more fruitful. I’ll continue to learn.
The second is “the world is closer than I thought.” I felt that the world is faraway from Japan because I didn’t live another country since I was born. I didn’t use English in daily conversation because we don’t need to speak English in Japan. It’s natural. I think many people also feel it. However, because I have gotten many friends from other countries and have talked a lot, I’m feeling very close to the world now. And many memories with my friends who met in the Philippines are my special treasures now.
I’m worried about my future even now. I am sure that I love to make people smile and happy by my power and I want to work with that concept. I’ll try to find my future job based on it.
