I WAS BORN IN KAGOSHIMA, JAPAN AND WHEN I TURNED 2, MY FAMILY AND I MOVED TO KANAGAWA WHICH IS NEXT TO TOKYO. I WAS THERE UNTIL THE AGE OF 10 AND MOVED TO FUKUOKA WHICH IS IN KYUSHU. I SPENT MOST OF MY TEEAGE YEARS THERE IN FUKUOKA. THE REST OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL, AND HIGH SCHOOL. I ENJOYED JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL A LOT. IT SEEMS LIKE I DID ALMOST EVERYTHING I WANTED TO DO. IN JUNIOR HIGH, I WAS CHOSEN BY THE CITY TO GO TO NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRALIA..( THANKS TO THE WONDERFUL TEACHER NAMED " YUKIO GOTO". AND IN HIGH SCHOOL, I WENT BACK TO AUSTRALIA TO GO TO HIGH SCHOOL THERE AS AN EXCHANGE STUDENT FOR A YEAR. AUSTRALIA WAS ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS. I HAD A BLAST FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR. MY HOST FAMILY CALLED" BLACK FAMILY " WAS SO NICE TO ME AND I TRULY LOVE THEM. I HAVEN'T CONTACTED THEM LATELY , BUT I ALWAYS WISH THEM WELL AND HAPPINESS. I KNOW SOMEDAY I WILL SEE THEM AGAIN. MY FRIENDS THERE WERE , LISA, BRIGITTE, JASON, BRENDA, AND A LOT OF OTHERS. I SPENT MOST OF MY TIME WITH MY HOST SISTER, LAUREN . SHE IS SUCH A CUTE. WHEN I WENT BACK TO MY ORIGINAL HIGH SCHOOL IN JAPAN, CALLED " KYUSHU GIRLS HIGH" IT SEEMED LIKE EVERYTHING HAD CHAGNED. OF COURSE, IF YOU LEAVE FOR A YEAR, YOU NOTICE HOW MUCH THEY'VE CHANGED AS WELL AS YOU HAVE. IT WAS RATHER HARD TO MAKE FRIENDS, BUT YET I HAD A LOT OF FUN . MY HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER NAMED" NORIKA YAMAKAWA" WAS A FUN TEACHER. WE HAD A LOT OF DISAGREEMENTS ON DIFFERENT THINGS, BUT I KNOW HE'S HAPPY FOR HOW I'VE CHANGED OVER THESE YEARS. AFTER GRADUATING FROM KYUSHU-GIRLS-HIGH, I WENT TO A UNIVERSITY CALLED " FERRIS UNIVERSITY " IN YOKOHAMA, WHICH IS A PRETTY WELL KNOWN COLLEGE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE WEALTHY. IT WAS FUN TO GO IN THE BEGINNING, BUT THE MORE I WENT, THE MORE I FOUND IT VERY BORING, LEARNING THINGS THAT I AM NOT EVEN INTERSTED IN, I DECIDED TO GO TO THE U. S. AND BOY, AM I HAVING FUN! LIKE I'VE MENTIONED IN ' MY HISTORY' CATEGORY, I'M GETTING MARRIED TO THIS WONDERFUL GUY . TRUTHFULLY, I THINK I'VE BEEN EXTRA BLESSED. : )
