During my days in the US, they never let me go to a bar because of my age, which was frustrating but at the same time, it reminded me of the fact that I am still young. ‘Cause back in Japan, what we usually say is ‘we are old’ ‘wish we were still freshman’. I was only 20 and now am still 21, and there are bright future ahead of us. FOREVER 21? No thanks! It's true that I get nervous so often, yet I'm now more excited when thinking about my future. This world is filled with VUCA, but is worth living.
My 20th year was challenging with new experiences, study abroad, internship and programs. They were all new to me. All the decision that I’ve made this year was satisfying, and I regret none of them. As an introverted person, jumping into the new community and doing typical ‘networking’ was like a hell. Hopefully I’m getting better at it and luckily I gradually can enjoy networking, yet whenever feeling uncomfortable and frustrated, I always make a call to those who went to the Sacred Heart (my school from primary up to now) together. I didn’t know it is that fortunate to have many friends grown up together in the same school for more than 12 years. While new friends with the similar vision motivate me and push me forward, those who have known me for long give me perfect advice and analyze my personality that I don't notice even a bit. Short-tempered, goal oriented, outcome focused, GRIT... it's me, and all of my experiences and people I've met so far shape who I am today.

I would like to see many more people this year and also keep in touch with those who met already. Anyway, I think I should go back to the US for drinks! lol 😆😆😆
