\nI came to Tokyo from Aomori to enroll in KIFL to pursue my dream of becoming an interior buyer. In the future, I would like to negotiate directly with overseas companies and bring attractive designs from around the world to Japan. It is not easy to balance my studies, housework, and part-time job, but living on my own gives me more free time to spend, and I am very happy every day.\n<\/p>\n

After school and on weekends, I work part-time at an Italian bar. Recently, I have been learning how to cook pizza and appetizers.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n\n

    \nI was looking for a school where I could study Spanish while pursuing my dream of becoming a cabin attendant. I am currently commuting to school from my parents' home in Yokohama, and thanks to the support of my family, I am able to focus on my studies, and after graduating from KIFL, I plan to transfer to a university to further improve both my Spanish and English.\n<\/p>\n

      \nBoth students and faculty are international, and during the spring semester of my first year, I had the opportunity to study abroad at a partner school in Spain.

      \nThe Airline Course has a friendly and energetic atmosphere. Whenever someone is having a hard time, everyone around them is quick to call out and cheer them up. Since my hometown is Ibaraki, I chose to live in the KIFL affiliated dormitory, which has a good security system. Thanks to my international friends and the dorm mother, I never feel lonely living alone.\n<\/p>\n
