[Job Title] Civil Engineering Work

I work in Japan doing road leveling and paving work.

I became a Specified Skills because I wanted to live freely in Japan. I wanted to rent an apartment on my own or get a car license.
When I first started living in Japan, I was confused by the differences in culture and customs, but my seniors and friends were very kind, so I was able to quickly adapt to Japanese life.

The work is tough, but it's rewarding.
One of the most memorable jobs I've had was the pumping work we did after a major typhoon.
We worked together as a team, navigating through flooded roads and tunnels. I was a little scared, but I felt I grew as a person through this experience.

In the future, I want to return to Indonesia and expand the street food business that I've entrusted to a friend.
Right now, I have a small stall selling sweet treats, but I want to make it bigger and more successful.
I believe that my experiences in Japan will definitely help me achieve my dreams, and I work hard every day with that belief in mind.
