The Transition of Life
　　　　　　
I have experienced an unusual transition once in my life. I am almost twenty years old now, that means I am I year older than other classmates. Generally speaking, people enter a high school when they become 16 years old in Japan. Almost all people enter university straight from high school. So, they become college students when they are 18 years old. However, I didn’t enter this university straight from my high school. I went to a cram school for one year and then entered AIU. Some people around me said I was a looser, and I once thought I would not be able to enter any university. Yet, I don’t think so now. The one year gave me a lot of things such as wide knowledge, wide insight, and confidence in myself. I think that to have unusual experiences are not always bad.
