    An Interest in Japan That Started with Anime

    My interest in Japan began with the anime "Sailor Moon," which I watched as a child. After that, I also became interested in Japanese music, fashion, and culture, and started wanting to try living in Japan. At ISI, I was able to meet students from all over the world and study while supporting each other. I passed JLPT N2, found a part-time job, and have been able to build up experience living in Japan.

In the future, I hope to study fashion design and work as a fashion designer in Japan.
