Achievement 1 : Self Introduction | Verification Through Introduction

Best regards to you all. Here`s my introduction post as a beginning of my journey here in this wonderful platform.

Konnichiwa! My name is Mercy Matedios, just turning 25 last December 28. Taking four years in College and holding a degree in Elementary Education. Teaching is not really my passion so I decided to step-in to other country finding what`s best for me and other purpose of my life :)

I am currently residing in Japan for almost a year. Specifically, living in a small island and it is a perfect place if you want a peaceful life away from the city. By the way, just call me Mashi (マーシー).
That`s my name here in Japan. (Just a little information) If you are a foreigner and living in Japan your name will change into Japanese name and it is written into Katakana. Living in a foreign country is a big challenge where you are living in a strange land, zero knowledge about the culture, their way of living and others. But it is a great opportunity to explore others, achieving our dreams and living our life to the fullest. Work work work but at the same time enjoying your life.

Making a decision to move away from my family was the hardest decision I ever made. Especially when there are celebrations that you missed. But thinking about our future, my future will always make me feel relieve.

Honestly, I am clueless on how blockchain works but I need to give a try in this platform. Thanks to Newcomers` Community where it has a bunch of idea about this platform. Exploring this platform is very exciting. New and variety of ideas from other members.

Through this platform I would like to share my stories here in Japan and providing some ideas of their culture and their ways of living. Hoping to hear from you all guys, and hoping you will help my journey here in this platform. Lets help together discovering this platform. Thank You :)

Thanks to @cryptokannon and @japan-steemit for encouraging and sharing their ideas in this platform.
