      It's sad to hear you say you'll never achieve your dream though.. Why do you say that? Life is quite long so you still have time to do all the things you want to in life! Surely you will be able to achieve your dream and study in Japan one day!! Good luck!!! 🥰💕

      @@MaddiesDays You're the kindest! Thank you so much for your lovely response ~ Your comment is so full of positive energy that I felt bad about my comment.
      Three years ago, I wanted to study in Japan after graduating from high school, but I didn't get the grades needed for a scholarship. So, I decided to continue my studies here in my country and give up on that dream. I also have responsibilities that mean I need to start working right after I graduate, so studying abroad feels almost impossible now. But I'm really happy to see that you studied there, and I'm incredibly proud of you ^^

      @@shizu246 I feel it is feasible for you to go to Japan to study (especially if you are an American and if you do not have a family to take care of and such). Yen is at its lowest value in the last 35 years so if you were to save up for a while you could likely save enough and live there for a while. The most complicated thing going into it would be a visa to stay. Also, you would have to look up requirements for studying at a university but if you want to strictly take Japanese classes I don't think they would be too hard to surpass. I believe in you!!!!

      @@shizu246 I see!
      I also wanted to study in Japan right after high school but because of some circumstances I had to re-take some high school classes in order to graduate. By the time I graduated high school, Covid started going around and japan closed their borders from 2020~2022. So I had to come to Japan around 3-4 years after i originally planned to😣 So I understand your disappointment!
      Keep trying and working towards your goal and one day you will definitely be able to come!! When I was in Japanese language school there were many student in their 30s and even 40s so it’s never too late! Good luck 💖🌸

      @shizu246 I understood your sentiment, as I have been there. But you can achieve it! You’re HERE, watching Maddie’s video. You chose to watch all the way through and not click away. So you’re already taking the baby steps. Every day you wake up with your dream is another day closer to it. And it might not happen overnight, but one day you’ll wake up and opportunity will be knocking on your door. We believe in you and we want you to believe in yourself 😊
