Coming to Japan was a turning point in my life. At first, I felt lost because the language, culture, and daily life were completely different from what I know. Simple things felt difficult, and I often missed my home and family. However, instead of giving up, I chose to learn. I practiced Japanese every day, observed people around me, and slowly gained confidence. My teachers and friends supported me, which helped me grow even more. Through this experience, I learned independence, patience, and courage. This journey in Japan did not just teach me academics. It taught me how to believe in myself.    (102 words)   By Shiwani S.
