Studying Japanese in Japan means so much to me because I would have the opportunity to practice the language in a native context. Currently, it’s difficult for me to practice Japanese in a way similar to speaking with local Japanese people. If I am studying Japanese in Japan, I will be able to practice the language in unique contexts which I would never have the opportunity to do so outside of Japan. Another thing, being physically present in Japan is an important opportunity for me to meet professionals that share an interest in robotics and software. Japan has a unique robotics industry that is different from other country’s robotics industry which is attractive to many foreign engineers such as myself.

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.

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.

By doing so, they will be able to accept foreign students to study and we will be able to realize our dreams.
