Greetings! I study computer science at Boston University.  I left Japan when I was 13 years old to discover who I am as a person and what I could become in the future. A journey of self-discovery was challenging from time to time, yet I felt delighted when I started to see a change in me. This feeling kept me stay focused and captivated me to work diligently. 

Through experiences of being a leader for several different communities such as dormitories in boarding schools, Japanese Student Association, Varsity Track and Field team, and a venture company, I realized that my unique experience and vision to achieve goals formed me into a role model that other youth would look towards for guidance. However, I have not to become the model I wish to be. For that reason, I look forward to finding stimulating events and experiences.
