SENIOR VOICE

After graduating from TCJ, I went on to study at Takarazuka University’s Graduate School of Media Arts. I am preparing for a job at a video game company while studying picture books under a professor of illustration. At the graduate school of Takarazuka University, I am able to take classes in the field of games as well as illustration. I decided to study at Takarazuka University because I am not a specialist in the field of games, so I thought it would be very useful for me.

After graduating from graduate school, I want to work for a video game company. Right now I am studying picture books and preparing for a job at a game company. It is not my dream to get a job, but I believe that it is an essential step towards realizing my future dream. In the future, I would like to become an illustrator and focus on my own creative work. Through my work, I want to help heal the stressed out people in today’s society.

Before I came to Japan, I chose TCJ from many schools. Looking back on it now, I feel really lucky that I was able to come to TCJ. First of all, I have to say that the access to the school is very convenient. The building is right in front of the train station, so close that I didn’t have to open an umbrella on a rainy day ( lol ). For example, my instructor helped me a lot in writing my research proposal and interview practice. What impressed me most about TCJ was the care and kindness of the teachers. When I first came to TCJ, I was still not able to speak or hear anything in Japanese. But I passed the JLPT N2 after 6 months, and I passed the N1 after 12 months. I think that is thanks to my teachers.

Also, I wasn’t confident in my writing skills because I always got a B or C in my essay writing. However, my teachers were always there to help me. Eventually, I won a prize in a national high school and international student essay contest organized by Takushoku University. I really want to thank my teachers at TCJ. Thank you very much.
