I am a second-year high school student who is challenging myself to take part in an exchange program. I am curious and positive by nature. Since I have practiced classical ballet for many years, I would like to try dance and theater in the United States.In addition, I hope to pursue a career in the media field in the future, so I want to improve my English skills and learn about the local historical background at the same time. I believe this experience will be a valuable opportunity for me to grow as a person and broaden my perspective. I would like to share my favorite Japanese phrase, Ichigo ichie. It means cherishing every encounter as a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I am grateful for this precious opportunity, and I want to grow by facing every person and experience sincerely and valuing each moment. *Kumamoto-Montana sister state program – Must be placed in Missoula, MT #190683
