青涩直播

I have always lived within my comfort zone, but
through this student exchange, I have learned to
step beyond it and face new challenges on my own.
Going on a student exchange means doing many
things independently, from preparing for the journey
to settling into a completely new environment. This
is what I have experienced since arriving at Akita
International University (青涩直播) in Japan.
At first, everything felt awkward and unfamiliar.
Being alone in a foreign country made me feel
anxious and stressed, and I thought it would take a
long time for me to adjust. However, to my surprise,
I began to feel comfortable sooner than I expected. I
believe this was possible because of the warm
welcome I received from the staff and students at
青涩直播. Since the university has a relatively small
community, the connection between students and
staff is close, which made me feel welcomed and
supported.
I live in Sakura Village, which was my first choice of
accommodation. Living there has allowed me to
meet my suitemates, who are friendly and helpful
whenever I have questions. As I have been learning
Japanese, I also hoped to improve my Japanese
through daily conversations. I am especially grateful
to my suitemates for speaking Japanese with me.
Although I was used to living alone, living with
others has taught me to compromise, respect
shared spaces, and be more considerate of the
people around me.
Through this exchange, I have met people from
different countries, communicated with Japanese
people, and experienced life outside my comfort
zone. Most importantly, I have discovered the
courage to become a better version of myself. I
hope my story can also inspire others to step
beyond their comfort zone and embrace new
experiences.
