When I first came to Japan, it was tough because I didn't understand Japanese and wasn't used to the work. But everyone at the company was kind and taught me, so I gradually became able to do my job. I was so happy when I was entrusted with work on my own for the first time.

I became a Specified Skills and my salary went up. I'm happy about that, but the best thing was that I could work in Japan for a long time. Jobs in Japan are safe and the rules are firm, so I can work with peace of mind.

On my days off, I like to take walks in the park with friends or go shopping.
My job keeps me very busy and I don't have much time, but I want to continue studying Japanese as much as possible.

Since coming to Kagawa Prefecture, udon has become my favorite food. In particular, I love eating udon topped with chicken tempura.

My goal is to pass Specified Skilled Worker (ii) in the future. And my dream is to build my own house in Japan someday.
