When I was in the second year of elementary school, I went to the United States with my family and lived there for one year and a half, which was the biggest event in my life: I could study in an American school, make American friends, and meet my cousin living in America for the first time.

After I came back to Japan, I really had a hard time getting along with Japanese life, especially at school: I was terrible at Kanji and multiplication (ku-ku), so I often had to study alone in the corner of the classroom during class.

multiplication: the process of adding a number to itself a particular number of times, or a calculation in which this is done.

Although my high school years were during the COVID pandemic, I could enjoy most of the school events, my club activities, and the days I spent with my friends, but I regret not being able to go on the school trip to Taiwan.
