I cannot foresee my future now that my training is jeopardized for I don’t know how long. A delay will have tough consequences on personal and professional levels. I resigned to be available mid-june for a quarantine period and to start the training in July. I may have to give up my dream to face these consequences.

I worked as a chef for five years, but quit my job to go to Japan to study. I sincerely hope that the Japanese government will allow me to study in Japan as soon as possible.

After more than a year of waiting, the only word that comes to my mind is “despair”. You can’t stop or grab it, and the youth that doesn’t come back disappears and dies.

As a Vietnamese, I am proud of my country because it has very good disease prevention methods. I have learned how to prevent and protect myself from infectious diseases. When I go to Japan to study, I promise to quarantine myself according to Japanese regulations, enroll into the national health insurance scheme, and comply with all conditions set by the school or the Japanese government.

A year is a short time in my life, but I don’t want to waste it. I really wanted to do something for this world. I was in pain all the time. I couldn’t sleep properly at night, and it was painful. As I wrote this letter, I couldn’t help but cry.

Studying in Japan will give me the opportunity to communicate directly with native people, learn many new things, and experience a very new and unique culture. With the knowledge I will acquire living and studying in Japan, I will be able to get closer to my own dreams and ambitions.

This delay will not only affect us mentally, but also financially as we have to wait for news from Japan to move, and we are currently unable to work in Vietnam. Also, delaying my entry into the country wastes a lot of time. I believe that Japan is trying to control the epidemic in order to stabilize this country. By doing so, they will be able to accept foreign students to study and we will be able to realize our dreams.

Each delay weighs heavily both financially and in terms of the time required to learn the Japanese language

I have been interested in the Japanese culture and language for quite some time. Having the opportunity to study Japanese in Japan would mean having the immersion needed to truly experience the language. Studying online is not the same as having a conversation in a cafe, museum, or park that would inevitably happen if I were studying in Japan.
