SENIOR VOICE

It's great that you're going to a vocational school, especially for IT. Choosing IT because of hands-on coding experience at the school is a smart move. It's normal to feel worried about lack of experience, but as long as you study hard, things should turn out well. In the end, none of us know how long we'll live, but it's important to keep trying your best until the end.

I haven't thought that far yet. Since I've chosen IT, I want to pursue a career related to IT. I believe that the most important thing in the world is human relationships, so I want to cherish those relationships. I also want to communicate with people from various countries.

Since coming to Japan, I've faced various challenges for the first time. I've struggled multiple times when talking to teachers or when conversing with bosses and colleagues at work. When I asked my teacher what I should do, they advised me to mimic them. They told me to imitate Japanese people. Since then, I've been paying close attention to my teacher's speech and pronunciation in class, and I've been trying to mimic Japanese people when I'm out and about. Thanks to my teachers, I've somehow managed to become able to speak. I deeply respect them.
