Hello everyone,

Ever since I was a little girl, studying in Japan has been a major dream of mine. Now, this dream is actually very close to becoming a reality.

This is a pretty time sensitive dream of mine that I know I should have been saving more seriously for earlier. My parents are getting older, and I would like to experience this dream of mine sooner rather than later, if at all possible.

It's a big process to get a student visa in Japan, and also one that requires you to have access to a lot of money for the Japanese government to approve you. I've been saving up, but it may not be enough to afford everything I need.

The plan is to make it to Japan by October 2021 if all goes well (what with COVID-19 happening and all), and it may still seem a long way off, but I know that time will fly by. I want to study abroad for a year, but if I am unable to gather the funds for that, then I at least want to study for 6 months. 

I know it's asking a lot, but anything to help me towards this dream of mine would be appreciated immensely. I appreciate you all, and hope you get to experience your dreams as well.

Thank you!
