I came to New York from Tokyo as a student.
It's a difficult decision in my past, because I had lived in Tokyo for 21years and I also had worked in Tokyo about 20years as a hair stylist in a hair salon.
I had a lot of friends, acquaintances and clients.
So I had to quit my job and I also had to lose my clients and my connections.
However I felt so refreshed. Everything was reset.
I could try to make a second life in New York.
Actually I don't know my future. But I want to try to do a lot of things.
I want to believe in my ability.
At first I have to improve my English. Then I want to go to a college.
My decision had a good ending, I think.( I hope....)
