One year in Hawaii It's been a year since I came to Hawaii. So far, I like my life in here. Although there are some issues that I need to deal with, such as a language and cultural differences, these are great opportunities for me to grow up. In this one year, I've learned both good sides and bad sides of America and Japan more. People in Hawaii are very kind, and they give me to learn new perspectives. I am grateful to them, my family and friends who support me to be here.
