I'm from Matsumoto city in Nagano Prefecture. Until graduation from the high school, I lived in Matsumoto. I grew up surrounded by beautiful nature.
I entered an university in Kobe after spending a year as a "Ronin". I majored in sociology and I studied an international comparison of issues of education.
After graduation from the university, I entered a graduate school in Nagano. My major was Educational sociology. The subject of my final thesis was about the theory of education in America, As a part of preparation for the thesis, I read many essays in English. That's why I got interested in English and international exchange.
After graduation, I had worked as a tutor for years. However, my eagerness to do the job related English and international exchange gradually got stronger. Finally I quit my job in 2006 and came to here Los Angeles in April that year.
After studying at an ESL and an University, I have been engaged in an internship without payment since last December.
The internship will finish at the end of March. I want to continue to stay in U.S.A and obtain the credit of working here.
My ultimate purpose is to acquire English ability to the extent that I can utilize for job. In order to realize my purpose, daily study is essential for me.
