My Classmate-Katie

She is a kind of person who is full of adventure, sense of art, and a nature of language learner. Few years ago, she went to Japan to study Japanese. The first half year, she studied in language school and than studied in Tokyo Design School for next two and half years. Although she is an independent and smart girl, but studying abroad is a big challenge to her because she didn’t know any Japanese words before she got here. In the beginning, she couldn’t read newspaper, no body could be talked, even didn’t know how to get on the bus. The problems are not just like this at all. The money is the second issue. She worked and studied while she stayed in Japan, but living in Japan is difficult for student when the student do not have enough money to live on. The food, transportation, and living place will cost you much money unless you are rich or you can stay in hunger. Strong passion on her mind makes her kept going on until graduated from school. “No pain, no gain”, she did a good job only used half year in language school. Next, she finished Tokyo Design School class and got Japanese certification level two before she came back. I envy what she did because that was my dream to study or to do some things that I really want to do for myself. The destiny, family, sibling, and environment all of thins will let you do thing for someone else’s wanted. I enjoy her story every time when she told me. Now she decided to study English in Lunghwa University that is a big challenge to her. However, she is a fast language leaner, so it is not a big deal for Katie. Two years later, you will know why I said that.
