I joined TUJ in 2008, and it took me nearly 5 years to complete a double major in Art and Japanese Language. Still, I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciate the experience. Through TUJ, I was able to find part-time work, intern at a sizable Japanese company and gain valuable knowledge and insight into local job hunting. It is owing to such experiences that I now work at Rakuten, Inc.

Looking at what I have achieved, I cannot help but express my sincerest gratitude to those who have made my dream of living and working in Japan a reality. There are the staff and faculty at TUJ, and the many friends with whom I have had the pleasure of sharing both good times and bad over the years; I cannot name them all.

I can go on about my experiences at TUJ, but to do so would barely be scratching the surface. Perhaps it is enough to say that when I graduated, I did not want it to end. TUJ has given me both professional skills and experience, and personal memories to cherish for years to come. I hope to do justice to both as I move forward with the next stage of my life.
