New International Department student: welcome to Seiritsu, Chase!
Hello, My name is Chase.
I am from Nanaimo which is on Vancouver Island of the coast of British Columbia. I am 18 years old and recently graduated from high school, And instead of going to university right away I decided to come to Japan. For several years now I`ve been studying the martial art Taekwondo and I do have a black belt. while I am here however, I am thinking about trying other martial arts like karate or judo. My other hobbies include sculpture, Arts, Video games, and reading .I am very excited to have the chance to study at seiritsu and learn about the culture and life of japan while also being able to strengthen my japanese skills.
One of the main reasons that I wanted to come to japan is that I have, for as long as i can remember, been very interested in the japanese culture. wether it be anime and manga, or the belief systems and customs, I have thought of Japan as a place I would like to see.
I am looking forward to all the people I meet and the things I do while I am here in Japan and attending Seiritsu!
