My grandmother valued even the smallest of things.

The Faculty of Technology of Tohoku University is renowned for its tradition of practical studies.

I suppose the reason I chose electrical engineering was because I had always been interested in electricity, involving myself in such projects as building radios from the time I was a child.

When it came time to find employment, I set my sights on becoming an engineer at a home electronics manufacturer, a field that was closely related to my major at university.

The tenacious character I've possessed since I was a small child propelled me to successfully meet this challenge, and I was able to safely gain acceptance to the university of my choice.

My grandmother valued her Southern roots, folk culture, and healing.
