Self Introduction

Hello, everyone! My name is Yukie Sasaki. I'm 20 years old. I live in central ward. My house is near  Sapporo Factory and I live in Sapporo from my birth. I think my hometown is very nice and comfortable city.

I belong to kendo club in this college. I practice it 3 times a week at Hokkaido  University' s kendo-hall, because, our club (Fuji's kendo club) is practicing  kendo with the Hokkaido University medical school' s kendo club. We get on well with each other.

Kendo is one of the Japanese martial arts. It is a very difficult and strict sport, but very exciting to me. I really enjoy it. However, to tell the truth, I  wasn't good at and hate all of the sports. How I found the fun of sports? When I  changed my mind? This answer is the Atlanta Olympic games in 1996. I was moved  when I watched Japanese national team's soccer games on TV. These were very fun  and amazing. It was my first time to find the interest of sports. Strange to  say, in spite of I hate sports; I was beginning to think, 'Playing sports is  fun'. Soccer is my favorite sport even now. I'm cheering Consadole, certainly.

I began to play kendo last May and got a dan last February. In Japan, all martial  arts' s licenses are called dan. I have a lowest dan, 'syo-dan'. Syo means  first. I'm very happy. Club activity sometimes makes me tired, but it's my  precious thing. I'd like to be strong. If I have a chance, I'm going to challenge to get next dan.
