Message (Self Introduction)
・While studying at Aoyama Gakuin University, after completing the final exams of his third year, he moved to the United States alone. After wandering all over the United States on the Gray Hand bus, he moved from New York City to Israel, where he spent half a year at Kibbutz Marbrot, where he was a student in a Hebrew language class (Ulupan). As a volunteer working on the farm on a kibbutz, I became deeply involved in daily life and English.
