One of my most significant achievements was my month-long trip to Japan in 2024, which was a culmination of years of dedication and passion. As a child, I had always dreamed of returning to Japan to deepen my understanding of the Japanese language and culture. Upon entering university, I immediately enrolled in Japanese language courses and later declared it as my minor, demonstrating my commitment to mastering the language. The trip marked the realization of a long-held goal, and not only was it a personal milestone, but it also provided an invaluable opportunity to further enhance my language skills through immersive experience. The month-long stay significantly strengthened my proficiency in Japanese and reinforced my sense of accomplishment.
