My dream is to join NASA, do work related to space, and have humanity emigrate to Mars. To achieve that, I need to study about not only space and science but also engineering and computers. My biggest goal is to study better than anyone in every field.

I can speak both Japanese and English. Right now, I am also studying Spanish (although I cannot speak it at all yet).

I want to go to the United States as soon as possible to study. This is because that is where my goal – NASA – is and the U.S. is the most advanced country in computers and robotics.
