MICHELLE AULIA RAHMAWATY
University Preparatory Course of March 2019
I have been interested in Japan since I was a child. I learned about Japanese culture from Japanese animation and found it very interesting. When I was thinking about what to do after I studied business, I decided to advance my education on fashion which I was also interested in.
Because Japan was also famous of fashion, I made up my mind of studying abroad in Japan.
