ĐINH THỊ HOÀI THƯƠNG ／ from Vietnam
Since I came to Japan, everything has changed. I had to do everything on my own including chores but with a help from teachers, I was able to manage my school life. As for studying at school, teachers teach you in line with textbooks and if you do not understand, you must go and ask them. Good thing is that you can stay at school till late to study. That is very different from Vietnam. It may be tough to make friends in Japanese high school unless you try hard but students here are friendly and I could make friends here. This school has many international students, so it would be a good choice if you are looking for high school in Japan for your future.
