My parents suggested that I come to study in Japan

I graduated from a university in China. My major was Dance. I never thought I'd be able to earn money with only dancing for all my life, so I wanted to learn something else. I also wanted to try to study overseas. So, I was very happy with my parents' suggestion and decided to come to Japan.

Once I came to Japan, everyday was such fun. Of course, when compared to when I lived at home things were quite difficult. I had to do the house chores by myself and when I was in trouble I could not just consult with my parents. But even with these difficulties, the new life here was very fun. Japanese people were very polite and kind. I made many friends from many countries at ARC. While l survived and came in touch with different cultures, I felt that my perception quickly broadened.

I am now studying very hard so that I can enter a Japanese university. This is because I don't want to leave Japan. I am continuing my dance study but also have an interest in photography. In the future I would like to have my own accessories and fashion shop in Japan. It makes me think that I should study management. There are many possibilities for the future and I will just try everything out.

I think that you should try out everything when you are young.
