 When people first hear about Japanese schools, they often imagine a place where discipline is extremely high and rules are followed without question. This image is not wrong, but it is also not the complete story.

But inside my mind, nothing was normal. I had only one thought: “My interview is today.” As a foreign student in Japan, a part-time job is not just extra money. It is survival.

This path i covered today up and down  But my real day started. I rushed back to my room. No rest. No scrolling phone. No relaxing. I quickly changed my clothes, checked my documents again...
