I came to Japan in 2018 as a Technical Intern Training student. The main reason I came to Japan was to earn money. Also, I realized that studying while working in Japan opens up various opportunities. I chose the construction industry for my own work. I can visit various sites and have many opportunities to talk about Japanese.

At first, I thought the safety rules were detailed and strict. But now I understand that they are important for safety. I've also worked on dam construction in the mountains where snow was piled up. The work was very hard, but the beautiful scenery left a lasting impression on me.

I want to continue working in Japan. I currently hold qualifications such as foreman, but there is still much I need to learn. I want to continue studying little by little and aim for a foreman or higher position in the company in the future.
