This is me in the painting. I’m so happy because now I can read Hiragana letters. I was so excited to practice the language by making conversations with Japanese people because I love their culture so much. I am highlighting the values of cultural exchange, as well as love, acceptance, and appreciation of one another.

I live with my father, mother, and sister. My father and mother are both engineers. My sister Jana is 11 years old. In my free time I like to learn Japanese and watch anime. I also like manga, but I’m not “otaku”, a person who is obsessed with something. I like Japan, journalism, and books. I dislike underdevelopment and hate. I would like to be a genetic engineer when I grow up.
