Hello!

Dear Sensei,

I woke up this morning still being very dejected. I was still crying after I got out of bed but I still went to work in the morning. Being in the office I tried my best not to be moody and as well as not to cry.

Still being very down during lunch time, i tried google-ing to look for other alternatives and to my surprise that there was actually another university still available to apply for. I immediately sent an email to my mom telling her about it.

My mood became better ten fold. I was so much happier knowing I still have another chance. :D Everything lightened up!

And guess what? The university is in Kanagawa. The place where sensei first started to do the world wide kosen-ru-fu! I started to think that maybe Soka Univerity is not where I am supposed to be but Kanagawa instead..

Now I am waiting for my certificates to return from Japan and hopefully I will be able to send in my application on time which is the 29th November. Please really let me enter this time. I really really want to go so badly!

I will pray for it very earnestly for it and this time I hope I don't fail once more.

My first letter

Dear Sensei,

I have been wanting to write things I want to say to you on this blog for quite some time already but I gave myself many excuses but I guess today would kind of be the day of the best reason for me to write to you.

Tonight is a very sad day. I have just received news that I have been rejected from my Soka University Japan application. No doubt that the topic does sting my heart and it seems to not leave my thoughts no matter how much I want it to, I will still move on.

No doubt that I am so lost and that I have no back up plans, I will still try my best for tomorrow. My tears are not willing to stop no matter how many times I tell them that I need to stop crying especially in front of my parents. I know how sad they must be too looking at me like this but I really just need some time to cry about this and I will be okay the next day.

I promise that I won't let this bother me at work tomorrow. I promise I will do my best and look forward to what is coming. I will not give up just because they have rejected my application.

Thank you very much for all you have done. I hope I will be speaking with you about much more happier matters soon enough.

Yours truly,
Alison
