My life has changed so much since I came to New Zealand. I sometimes had really hard times because of the language. I was helped by many people: my host family, teachers, friends and my family in Japan. Then I realised that I always had many people who supported me. I would not have been able to spend lovely times in New Zealand without them.

What I learned in New Zealand is not only English, but also how people relate to me in my life and how important it is to do things I believe in.

I would like to thank all the people I met in New Zealand. I will never forget the time I spent in New Zealand.

In Japan I will be teaching some English to help me finance my University degree.

I hope to work in a trading company later.
